Ava Elisabeth: Christmas Lights

Adam and I decided to take Ava to look at Christmas lights, now, she likes lights, but I didn't feel like unbuckling her from the carseat everytime we passed a house that looked good, so we just decided to take her to the house with the music and flashing lights. We had stopped by for a few minutes earlier in the week and could tell by her reaction that she was going to love them so we decided to make a night of it. Mistake #1- Friday night at 8:00- take my advice- go during the week. It was very crowded, so we thought we would ease our way into a good spot while I fed her, this way by the time she was finished we would have a really good spot where she could see. Mistake #2- parking on the far side of the road, rather than the side with the house on it. We already knew this, but it was confirmed Friday night- people are just so inconsiderate of others. I can't tell you how many people drove by and just stopped right in front of us to watch the show. Now I understand that you have to drive by in order to get around, but that entails you to keep the vehicle moving. There were 2 times the person stopped so long I rolled down my window and asked them to move it along...and boy did I play the baby card- I would hold Ava up so they could see her and know she was watching the lights. (Which to be honest, she really was- she enjoyed them immensely.) Despite the crowds and inconsiderate people she had a good time which makes any trouble worthwhile.
