on the third date of christmas...

...my true love gave to me, a walk in a winter wonderland!

This date was actually a last minute decision.  The boy & I had both been working most of the morning, and as I was headed home I saw a sign reminding everyone that Lights in the Heights was that night.  I had forgotten, but I knew we had to make this Christmas Date #3:

It's essentially a big neighborhood block party where a few streets are closed off, the residents all decorate their houses, there's live music playing, and you can just feel the Christmas cheer everywhere!  We hadn't been since we first moved to Houston (and went with the wrong people, but that's a story for another day) and had been talking about going for a while, so when I got home I sweet talked the boy into going with me before the party we were attending that night.

We had a great time walking around and seeing all the creative light displays, reminiscing about the last time we went (this time was MUCH better!), and picking out the house we'll buy if we strike it rich.  There's not much that I love more than walking around holding the boy's hand.  Although this giant dinosaur may be a close second...
