Lights and Limousines

This year my friend Carrie had the idea of looking at Christmas lights in style.... 

And she talked me into going in on her scheme.
 

I found a place that lets you rent a limo for the day for cheap and you drive it! 

So Buck was the chauffeur that night, (he wanted to do it the whole time!) and we went and drove around looking at the lights at Thanksgiving point. 

On the way there we watched Frosty the Snow Man.

The older girls were obsessed with looking out the sky roof window. (don't worry we were going very slow through a guided driving light.... thing that you drive through...)

We drank some sparkling drinks

And a good time was had by all!

Carrie knows how to make the kids happy. More drinks.

Sky roof!

Of course not all stories are perfect. That magical experience was sandwiched between me losing my drivers license and having to make my friend Tanya drive it to my house for me and Carrie and Scott taking the limo around later that night and something breaking (wasn't their fault though!) So we are glad that the actual event of looking at lights and feeling fancy was a memory to keep. ;)

It was a crazy night too because after that Buck and I went up to his work party! This year they rented out the Olympic Oval (no big deal) and so there was dinner and dessert, ice skating, curling, hockey, trapeze (yes this is where we did our trapeze date earlier this year!) photo booths, and prizes, none of which we won this year. ;) But it was a fun night.

I tried curling. But I hit the heavy thing the wrong direction and some girl had to reprimand me. This sums up my whole life and why I never did sports.

Buck's brother's girlfriend also works at Instructure so Ben and Lauren were both there and it was fun to hang out with them and get these awkward photos.

Buck didn't think I could cram all the fun into one night but I did it! And I'm glad that we did.
