Our annual doggie birthday party get together was so much fun!!!  The kids had so much fun sledding in the sub-zero temperatures too.  All 6 of them went down on the sled(s) at once and how no one managed to get injured was beyond us!  There was so much giggling and laughter, it was so good to hear.  They are all such good buddies!

 I can't believe that these two actually posed for a reluctant picture and let us sing to them as well.  Emme and Eve are such good girls!

 Eve is looking at Emme like...why...are they making us wait like this...!!!!????

 Love this group!  The Muffeys!

350.365 {2017} Winterlights at Newfields

Jamie and I went to a bank event in November and saw this marvelous light display at the IMA and knew how much our girls would adore seeing this as we are all huge fans of the grounds!  Shawn came for the weekend and wanted to see it as well.  We were in Carmel at the Christkindlmarket which is new this year.  We had fun looking at all the stands.  The girls were begging to go ice skating at the rink but we had a timed ticket to the Winterlights.  We drove to the museum and even the lobby had beautiful and unique trees hanging from the ceiling.

 When we arrived at 5:00 pm the sun had not yet set.

 The light show in the front lawn was timed to the Nutcracker music.

 We walked into the Lilly house that was all adorned with trees, decorations and lights.  It was beautiful too!

 When we walked out of the house the skies were dark and all around us was lit up in a dazzling display!

 It was a a beautiful night!

 This tree was constructed with plastic sleds and toys.  So innovative!

 They had s'more kits for sale and the girls and Shawn roasted marshmallows there on the grounds.
