One Last Christmas Stop

We decided to go to Longwood Gardens this for the Christmas lights that they have every year.  Check out their website for more information.  The place is huge and it's beautiful and while were weren't really impressed with the Christmas lights, we do plan to go back over the summer to see all of the gardens they have.

Of course it was dark out so the pictures aren't the best but here are they are...

 
The first thing we came across...they were stakes in the ground with lights on top so it looked like a field of lights and they changed color.

 
We enjoyed all of the red trees 
 


These were giant snowflakes hanging in the trees 
 
They had these trees out on the water 
 
They had this huge tree house.  Baby Girl wasn't impressed 
 
This was the entrance to one of the buildings.  Loved the stars hanging.

 
And then they had table set up for what looked like 100 people!
 
We tried to get a few good photos of us but... 

 
Baby Girl did very well despite how cold it was.  She had a mini meltdown about half way through because she was hungry but Mommy was prepared.  Then we think she started getting cold at the end because she was starting to have another melt down before we decided to leave.  She looked around and took everything in but I don't really think she was all that into it.  Maybe next year.

  2. Gorgeous lights..
    by the way, I figured out the problem. You are under no reply blogger again. Not sure if that was intentional. Maybe that is why you don't hear back from anyone.

Blog Commenting Challenge!

Linking up with Jenna's Journey  for the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge! Hi! I'm Vanessa! I live with my husband Bryan and my amazing 6 month old Ashlyn in Pennsylvania. I was born and raised here and love it very much! We have 2 pugs, Katie and Utley, one black lab, Camo and one cat, Joey. Our second cat, Kitty, is sadly recently deceased (on Father's Day). I work full time as a Marketing Analyst for a supply chain consulting firm. I don't even know what that means really! I have been here for 3 years and am thinking about a career change. SAHM is looking better and better. My husband owns his own landscaping business which has been both wonderful and horrible at the same time! My husband and I know each other for about 17 years now and we have been together for 12. We got married in September of 2010, just 2 weeks shy of our 10th anniversary! We got pregnant after only 2 months of trying and last December we were greeted by Ashlyn Marie Miller,

I'm Not Gonna Lie

Anyone who knows me know that I LOVE Christmas.  I love the decorations.  I love to decorate my own house and see all of the other cool decorations other people have.  There is a house down the street from us that always has more lights and decorations than I have ever seen in one yard.  It's a bit much but it's an attention grabber. I love the Christmas tree.  I love to get the tree out each year (yes we have a fake because I can't stand the needles) and I love to decorate it.  Growing up, our family would decorate the tree together with all kinds of ornaments that we had collected over the years.  I like to do themes for my trees.  Last year I did pink and silver in honor of the newest member of our family.  I'm really hoping to instill the tradition of decorating the tree with my kids. I love finding the perfect gifts for people and I love to watch their reactions when they open those gifts.  I generally wait until I have purchased ALL of my gifts, I sort them

Big News!

We have been trying very hard to keep this to ourselves for just a little while longer but I can't wait anymore!    Baby Miller #2...due 09/01/13!!!!!!!!! I am 8 weeks and 1 day I have known since Christmas Eve I am much more tired and much more nauseous this time around I haven't gained a single pound yet, unlike last time I am not so secretly hoping it's another girl If this one is anything like Baby Girl, he or she will be born mid-August I've been leaving hints all over the place but no one noticed! I am so excited!   I've already had one doctor's appointment but I was only 7 weeks so there wasn't much to do.  We couldn't hear the heartbeat or anything so the next appointment will be much more exciting!  My next appointment isn't until February 11th so that's when I'll get to hear and possibly see my next little monster!  So exciting!   PS:  Notice the blog title?!
