Festival of Lights

So, after the hair incident was resolved, a couple of my girlfriends and I met up.  Each December we meet for dinner and a trip to Chickasha, OK to look at Christmas lights.  This year was our fifth year of our annual tradition!  The three of us met in grade school and have been friends ever since.  I truly cherish my friendship with these two.

Elizabeth and Ashley at Texas Roadhouse

Elizabeth is 6 months pregnant and we are so excited!  She was craving steak, so we were happy to oblige.  Texas Roadhouse never disappoints!  We called ahead to reserve our time slot and didn't have to wait at all once we got there :)  Another perk of Elizabeth being pregnant is that she is our designated driver, so Ashley and I tried out the strawberry Long Island Iced Tea. Verdict is: Awesome! We will be having that one again.

After a delicious dinner, we headed to Chickasha for the Festival of Lights. The line just to get into the park had to be 2 miles long! It took us about an hour to get to the entrance of the lights! It's a good thing we had great company and hilarious conversation.

Another part of our tradition is that we take a horse drawn carriage ride. We've done this, even when it is literally less than 20 degrees outside.  Luckily, this weekend we had great weather. 

We are on the light bridge in this picture.  After about 20 tries of taking our own picture, we finally broke down and asked someone to take it for us. 

My iPhone really doesn't do well with these lights - but isn't this cool?!

One of the things that sets this show apart from the other light setups is the water. The reflection is beautiful. 

What a wonderful night! I hope we can continue this tradition for a long, long time.
