Christmas By The Lake

I have to confess that pictures would have made this post much more exciting, however I had a dead camera with no charger. So I don't have any pictures at all!

On Friday after work, Chad and I along with the boys (and dog) headed to Clear Lake for the weekend. Every year they have a big Christmas by the lake celebration. We got to town just as it was starting to snow and get slick.

Saturday morning - We got up and had breakfast with Santa, saw some cool decorated Christmas trees and visited Santa's workshop. The boys had lots of fun.

Then we headed home to drop off the "boys" - all of them! My mom, my aunt Jackie and I went on the Tour of Homes. How interesting to see the interior of some beautiful Clear Lake homes. It did spark a bit of jealousy though.

We went downtown to check out the festivities around 3:00. At that time, the temp was about 15 degrees. I don't even want to know what the windchill was! Here are a few things we did -
* Drank Hot Chocolate
* Sleigh ride with horses
* Trolley Ride around part of the lake
* Ate Chestnuts from an open fire
* Drank Hot Chocolate
* Watched the lighted Christmas Parade
* Saw some cool Fireworks
* Drank more Hot Chocolate

Sunday we went to Church. I was so glad to see some friends I haven't seen in awhile. It is good to know that everyone is well.

We are just getting ready to head home. It is snowing a bit, however, it appears from the weather report that it will only last for about an hour. We can only hope!!!
