Lights of Lakeland

Last night after a yummy dinner with Noni and Zampie, we headed to the Lights of Lakeland. A local church puts on quite the Christmas display with more than half a million lights and a complete town of Bethlehem. We had no idea it would be so amazing. We will definitely visiting this every year. They had all the Christmas characters, the Grinch, Rudolph, Frosty, even Buddy the Elf. They had a General Store where kids could pick out a present for someone and have it wrapped, lots of lights and amazing displays. Best of all it was free, even the milk and cookies.
Avery wrote a letter to Santa and put it in his mailbox in front of his house.
Then we went inside to meet Santa and Mrs. Claus. Avery loved it but Paige was a little unsure. She wouldn't sit on his lap but as we were leaving she yelled, "I want a bike!" haha

The entrance to Bethlehem. As you walked through it explained the whole Christmas story to you. It really was like going back in time and walking through Bethlehem. Very well done. They even had live animals, goats, sheep, donkeys and two camels!
