We joined the Lund family tonight for a couple of really fun Spokane Christmas traditions -- the first being the Conservatory of Lights up at Manito Park. I don't know how many thousands of lights that they put up, but it is just amazing. It is so cold outside, but once you step inside the Conservatory, you are transformed into a warm and tropical oasis -- all in lights. They do this every year and it is always free for all to walk through and enjoy the beauty of the plants and poinsetta's. This time, they were giving out free banana splits just outside the door -- seems kinda funny, but it was actually pretty good (especially once you got inside and warmed up!).
Here are the kids eating the banana splits....Sofia, Audriana, Everette, Kendra and Addy. They loved walking through the Conservatory and looking at all the lights together.
After the Conservatory, we headed back down Hatch hill to 195 and stopped at the Live Nativity. It was so beautiful and we all enjoyed being there to witness the "reason for the season". A great teachable moment for our girls -- to move out of the circle of Christmas commercialism, and to bring us to the moment of Jesus' birth. Awesome.
The church that put this on, had hot coco and goodies for everyone to enjoy -- so of course we all accepted with gratitude. : )
