Christmas lights have always been one of my favorite parts of the holiday season.  When I was little, my parents would always take us to a church near us that created the most amazing display of lights. My kids love Christmas lights too and we were lucky to find a place nearby that likes their lights *almost* as much as the church from my childhood.

My husband put hot chocolate in the thermos and we bundled up to walk among the display.  (Yes, it was actually cold enough in Houston that night to require more than a long sleeved shirt.)

I brought my camera along for fun, hoping I could capture a little of the magic and playfulness of the evening.  I’ve been doing so much client work recently that it was a nice change to wander and snap as I wanted, rather than directing or being directed by someone else.

It was just the family time we needed.  (And thank goodness for self-timers!)

Until next year – Angie
