I Love Christmas!

Have any of you ever been down town to see the Trail of Lights at Zilker Park? This was the first year we had the chance to go and it was AWESOME! Of course, it was crowded and people were kinda rude, but it was still cool. I can't decide if my favorite part was the Grinch or the Charlie Brown set up. I love Mr. Grinch and Max AND all the Peanuts Gang. I actually couldn't believe that entrance into the trail was free...they could make a killing. I also really enjoyed the 'blue' tree. It's amazing how someone actually lines each tree limb with lights. No limb is left unlit. It was pretty neat!

As sad or silly as it may sound, I thought I was going to die walking the trail. It's crazy how fast my body has started to hate me. My back started bothering me a few weeks ago and I thought for sure it was too early for that nonsense. But trying to walk all that way (which in reality isn't that far) was brutal. I was like an old lady. Quite honestly, if I had seen an old lady in a wheelchair, she would have had a fight on her hands. I might have even settled for a walker. But we got to the end of the trail and I noticed a pregnant, very pregnant, woman. It looked like the baby was about to fall out of her. She was standing there smiling. I looked at Mike and said, "oh hell no. My fat ass is staying at home at that point!" Maybe I'm just a big weenie, but you won't find me walking that much when my baby is ready to fall out! How miserable. I have got to be the worst pregnant girl ever!
(I tried a billion times to make a new paragraph here, but it won't let me...stupid!)
I can't believe it's already here, but I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas! Be safe, there's lots of crazies out there on the road...which is where we'll be! Wish us luck!

Good Luck and Merry Christmas!

We went to the trail of lights the next day and it was uber crowded. I also discovered deaf people can be rude.
