Our town has started putting on a Christmas carnival. It feels like its only been a few years but I suppose it could have been more and I’ve just missed it. Which we did, once again, this year.
However. It was not a total loss.

As soon as the kids heard the popping, they ran out in the frigid weather, to watch the fireworks!!
It wasn’t long before they came back in, but while Laela stayed in, the boys grabbed some jackets out of the front closet and headed back out.
I love that our town does fireworks in winter.
I love that they do a Christmas carnival.
I love that there are things to be involved in, and at the same time, no one is mad if you don’t make it to the events.
But more than all of that, I LOVE hearing these boys come back in, laughing and talking WAY too loud, hyper and freezing as all get out, totally happy 💜

Goodness they’re handsome! Wow!
Thank you to our lovely fire and rescue team for putting on this beautiful display. Even from across town, it was beautiful 💜
