December 22

We finally took a drive to look at Christmas lights this evening. It's one of our traditions, and with just a few days left before Christmas, we were rapidly running out of opportunities.

I learned a few things while we were out and about. 1) Isaac knows almost all of the words to Let it Go. (I was shocked.) One of the more elaborate displays we saw featured timed light displays set to various tracks of music, and the "Frozen" mega hit was one of them. Let's just say that it was performed with great passion inside the confines of our minivan. (And it led Isaac to confess that he secretly practices "all of the girl songs" in his head. (Not a clue.)) 2) Isaac would like to get a manger scene for our front yard next year. While the Little Boys discussed how they'd make it work, Brady matter-of-factly suggested we get an inflatable Jesus. Both 1) and 2) caused me to laugh hysterically.

Traditions and the way they make me feel are priceless. It's cliche, but the cliche-ness makes it no less true: you can't get back time that's gone by. So it's a blessing to be able to live fully in the moment, inflatable Jesus and all.
