The City of Christmas

This evening when Jeremy got home from work we decided to toss everyone into the car and head over to Keokuk to see the City of Christmas.  Vivianne screamed bloody murder the whole ride to Keokuk.  She either didn't get rid of her ear infection or has a tooth coming through.  We got to McDonald's and ordered the world's biggest drive thru order ever (probably not, but, it sure felt like it).  At this point we needed to pull over to sort food so we pulled into Walgreens.  As I am sorting food, the wound from yesterday when I snipped my finger with the scissors opened up again and was getting blood all over.  Jeremy ran inside Walgreens to grab band-aids and some Baby Oragel just in case Vivi was actually teething.  I sorted the food as best I could and we went on to the City of Christmas.  By the way, the boys were GREAT during all of this.  And so was Eden.  And Liam was super helpful with Vivi and with sorting food out. We couldn't believe that Vivianne was the source of our noise and stress, lol!  We drove through all the lights and ate our nasty McDonald's.  And yes, it really was nasty.  I think I'm gonna vomit. Ugh.  But, the kids enjoyed all the lights and there were a ton of new ones too!  We stopped at the house that has the lights timed to music and watched a couple of songs there.  Then we looked at lights all the way home.  Eden loved trying to find the lights.  Something cute....she says "liced" instead of "lights".  It is so funny!  Anyway, a good night together as a family.  One to remember.
