Christmas 2017

We visited Santa and then the kids picked out their sibling secret Santa gifts at the little toy shop at Blackhawk Plaza.  Then we indulged our bellies with some pizza.  After changing into jammies in the car, we picked up some hot cocoa and drove around to look at Christmas lights.  What a special night that was!
