Another tradition we started this year was to see the lights at Opryland Hotel. However in the future, we are going to try to go during the week! It took FOREVER to get to the hotel on the Saturday night 2 weeks before Christmas!! Due to this and the fact that it was raining we decided to park at the hotel instead of at Opry Mills...reason #2 for needing our wallets!
I remember being SO excited to see the lights and decorations when I was little. A few times it was after dad performed with the choir...Handel's Messiah is my favorite song to hear at Christmas...this is not them, but they were so good!
Santa is not easy to find in a massive hotel! I think having to hunt for him resulted in many people giving up because we didn't have to wait in line at all. The pictures turned out cute (minus the crazy looking Nutcrackers in the background), but Santa wasn't so sure what to say to a baby! These pictures weren't taken with the disposable and they were reason #3 we were glad to have our wallets :0)
We only saw the lights inside. Matt tried to direct us to the outside lights which featured a beautiful Nativity scene. As we drove past it on our way out, I asked why we didn't get to see those up close. I guess I should have listened to him :0)
A sweet gentleman offered to take a picture of all 3 of us. So even though I look like a gopher, it was the only one we had, and it just has to go on here :0-)
Our exciting evening was topped off with us spilling Luke's rice in the car while he was eating. Thankfully he already had what he needed!
This was a picture taken the next day so we could finish the roll of film. It looks like he's sledding in the kitchen :0)
