Every year starting around Thanksgiving, the Albuquerque botanic gardens and aquarium put on an amazing festival of lights. Set up throughout the botanical gardens are beautiful and detailed light displays. Everything you can think of from Christmas theme lights to animals found at the zoo. Matt and I went 2 years ago...when Cami was still cookin' in my belly.
We went last night with the Archuleta's. We had a great time. Some of it was lost on Lili (almost a year), but Cami really enjoyed herself. On the way to the gardens, we were telling her that we were going to see Christmas lights/Santa lights. She then started saying, "Santa, Ho Ho Ho". Where she got that...we have no idea. It was adorable.
It had been a beautiful afternoon, as we approached evening it got cold windy and a little rainy. So we bundled up.
Outside, waiting for the gate to be open.

Cami and MommyWe went just in time, considering it has been raining since late last night. Definitely a family tradition that we will continue for years to come.
