Since the holiday season began, each of our trips down Candy Cane Lane has been a rainy one. Tonight was no different, but luckily because we are so close to Christmas, most of the homes participating had their displays up and running. When Shaun came home from work, we spent some time getting the girls ready (and having fun doing so) and then took off to get some dinner and enjoy the sights of Candy Cane Lane.

You can tell that the current economic times of our country play out even in special places such as Candy Cane Lane. The amount of homes participating have noticeably dropped but when you stop and listen to your little two year old laughing and pointing out all of the fun displays that she sees, you stop thinking like an adult and start looking at things through the eyes of your child. Abby loved everything she saw, especially the house that had nothing but original Disney characters displayed like Mickey and Minnie Mouse. Even though she is still little, I can tell that she is starting to see, understand and enjoy the fun and excitement of Christmas. It became apparent that Abby loves Christmas lights, which means that next year we will have to put them up. But lets not think about next Christmas just yet.
