Christmas On The River

Autumn and I saw a holiday banner in one of our favorite towns and decided we needed to check out their Christmas On The River celebration. They were going to have booths, food, Christmas music, KUDL and MORE fireworks! You know me....I couldn't pass up fireworks! :) Scott introduced me to this little town many, many years ago and we love to stop in every once in a while so we thought it would be a good addition to our holiday traditions.

Here is our group...ready for fun and food...although Lucas looks scared! lol

Us girls have to stick together! We are OUT NUMBERED!

Handsome hubby... 

We ate dinner at this little restaurant. I think it was new and although our first impression wasn't great...the food turned out to be delicious and the kids loved eating in the caboose!

We fit around one table in the back of the caboose. It was awesome.

Now you may start to notice that the rest of my photos...are a little strange...

And that no one seems to be able to keep their eyes open...

Which happened thanks to Scott...who loves, "My Name Is Earl"...and shared with the kids...

...the fact that Earl takes every photo with his eyes SHUT...and thus...

...the rest of my photos are Sans eyeballs....which became quite comical actually....
Look at that sandwich....the food was delicious!

By the time we finished dinner, the singing/dancing/ballet shows were almost over and it was time for...

...FIREWORKS! And we were so close that it was probably the best show of the three we have seen since Thanksgiving.

After the awesome light display we stopped at a new coffeehouse for some hot chocolate and lattes.
The store had a great design and pretty good coffee.

We really enjoyed the Christmas on the River celebration and will probably be back next year. You can't beat the fun atmosphere, good food and fireworks!
