The first trip by myself with three children and a dog from Lubbock to Dallas.............well it was pretty smooth! We made two stops going which is not real bad! We did not get off until about 12:30 and made it by 6:30. We got our stuff out and then headed across the street to the church I grew up in. They were having a sort of fesitval for Christmas. It has been going on for many years but this was the first time we were able to go and it will now be a tradition!!! Complete with pony rides, bounce houses, petting zoo, LIVE Nativity, blacksmith workshop, campfire and live country praise music as well as a hayride down our (my parent's) street to look at Christmas lights! First off we ran into my bestie and her family! Cannot believe we did not discuss these plans but were SO blessed to spend this time together! The kids had a BLAST! Holly and her family were kind enough to take my kids on the hayride since we would have had to wait quite a while for the rest of us to fit and since it was around 9 by this time, Levi would not have made it! His favorite was the animals, Ty's was the Blacksmith where Pop got him a melted nail/knife, and Livi's was the s'mores at the camp fire! I had the pleasure of seeing so many people that I love and had not seen in so long. What a blessing it was to attend!
