Winter Lights 2016

City of Aurora's Winter Lights was on Friday, November 18th.  On Thursday it was in the 60s, sunny and so warm outside.  By the time Friday night rolled around it was 45 MPH winds and low, cold temperatures!  We were bummed the weather took such a quick turn for the worst, but that didn't stop the City from their Winter Lights festivities!  We were so excited to watch Cora light up the tree and be in the parade.  My parents were supposed to come to our house for Thanksgiving, but they decided to switch their visit to this past weekend so they could also be there to see Cora at the festival.  She was so excited to have them there!

Crown in place and all bundled up for the holiday festivities!

Cora and Daddy went to the Fire Museum to meet Santa and then load up for the parade

This little peanut was all bundled up and so good all night.

I'm so happy my parents could be here!

Blurry selfie Daddy took in the high winds on the fire truck!!

Do you see Cora waving?  She was SO happy.  

We loved seeing Cora in all the ads!

She waved to everyone!  It was adorable!

Flipping the big light switch with the Mayor and then one of the characters from the Broadway show The Little Mermaid which is opening up at the Paramount Theatre

After the big countdown, Cora flipped the switch and the tree was lit!

Tradition to get cotton candy

Passed out

Couldn't even wake her when we got home!

So grateful for my parents coming in town for a special visit with the girls!

After Winter Lights, my parents spent all day Saturday playing with the girls and spending quality time together.

We went out to eat at our new favorite neighborhood restaurant

Blakesley is of course sleeping!

Happiest baby with her Mimi!
