Lights

Yesterday after my niece woke up from a very long nap my mom and I decided to take her around the neighborhoods to see the Christmas lights. Now that she is two she can enjoy them more then last year. So we started taking her around some houses that my mom knows have great decorations.

We took her to a few houses and at one they had some reindeer and a train..well she really liked the reindeer display. She wanted to get off and play with them but we told her those were the lady's lights and could only look. Then we started showing her other houses but she kept asking about the reindeer. Well some of the houses didn't have them, they just had lights or snowmen, which she calls penguins, and some Santa clause figures.

Well we pull up to this house that has some really pretty lights and she doesn't see the Santa so she says, oh he's in the bathroom and I say yes. Then she says, where are the reindeer? I tell her, oh they went to sleep. And suddenly I hear this cry...she had started crying..and saying " no they didn't go to sleep no they didn't go to sleep." I was so surprised, I said no they didn't and we pulled into a house that had some reindeer. After that she said let's go home...so we came back home....

She liked the lights and love the reindeer but now I know never to tell her that they went to sleep...kids really are the cutest things....
