Getting into the Christmas Spirit

Since the weather in Charlotte isn't very Christmas-like we decided to be proactive and create our own Christmas spirit. We visited the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden for their holiday light display. We had never been there and it was beautiful. They also had some neat train displays. The Wilsons joined us there and Ben and Elise had a great time running around.

Santa's not so bad I guess.

This is Mommy's favorite Christmas tree ever - it's covered with orchids.

Enjoying the Christmas lights - and each other.
