We went to Grapevine, TX, last weekend for its Christmas celebration in the historic downtown area. They have tons of things between Thanksgiving and New Year's, including free wagon rides (Nigel was afraid of this for some reason), free Christmas ornament making, shopping, lights, Santa on stilts, etc. We found Grapevine to be a really cool city. It's one of those places that we'll take guests to for some fun shopping. The three of us are actually going back in March to celebrate Nigel's 3rd birthday with A Day Out With Thomas the Tank Engine!
We also went to this neighborhood to check out Christmas lights. Nothing was as tacky as what we see at home in RVA, but since almost every house in the neighborhood was decked out it was really cool.
The Neiman Marcus window display in Dallas on our way to visit with Aunt Nancy and Uncle Dan in Plano. We went because the display is interactive for kids. Unfortunately, Nigel wasn't old or tall enough to participate. I think he liked looking at it, though.
sigh, I <3 Neiman Marcus! Glad you guys are having holiday fun in TX!
