A Christmas Walk

Last night, we all drove a few hours to the city where Katie used to live before she got married.  We had dinner in a train station from the olden days that has been made into a restaurant.  It was so cool inside and all decorated for Christmas!  The restaurant is right downtown where the city has put up lots of light displays, so after dinner we walked around the parks full of lights.

Here we are walking across the bridge over the river.  It was all decorated with pine garlands and looked very elegant.  This was one of the only spots with bright enough lighting where we could try to get a picture of ourselves, but it still turned out blurry. :-(  Oh well!


Here are trees in the park all filled with lights, and the old train station restaurant is right behind with the tall tower all lit up.  If only there was snow, it would have been perfect!  I can't believe it's mid-December in Michigan and we don't even have any snow yet!  How are Hodel and I going to make snowmen and snow forts and go sledding without any snow??

  2. Hmm, well, I'm not used to having a white Christmas. Going sledding and making snowmen is definitely more for February here. You'll just have to do some other things! Maybe make snowmen out of paper? Maybe cut out snowflakes to tape on your windows?

    What pretty lights!

  3. Looks like you had tons of fun looking at all the lights, we love going to town and doing that too.

    We usually have tons of snow before this too and we have none at all again. There is some up on tollgate mountain pass, but not even enough to do much.

    I like Sophie's idea of making snow and snowmen that would be fun.

    Hope you and us get snow soon,
    Hugs,
