That most wonderful time of the year

Vienna, VA and other places

Okay, this doesn't look like it's the most wonderful time of the year.... You do agree though that it's pretty neat to see icicles on a tree, right? I thought it was pretty amazing so I wanted to share! =D Of course, we all know that the most wonderful time of the year comes in the winter, so this is still a fitting picture, I think. Haha!

It was a very cold Christmas eve when we visited the Meadowlark winter walk of lights. You wouldn't know it was that cold with the number of people at the park. Well, except that everyone is bundled up well from head to toe which was a clue to how cold that night was. Enough with the talk of the cold at that time, it was still a good night to stroll through the lights. The trees and the grass there are covered with lights, which was quite a sight! Close to the lake, they even have the lights dancing to some music, which of course, I have now forgotten! =D

As you can see, my photo taking skills is not so great... Haha! I think you can still see that the light show was pretty good, I hope! We had a great time walking through the lights, albeit a little bit cold and at the end of the walk, you can get some s'mores! They have a good fire going at the end of the walk to warm up in and of course, they sell some hot cocoa and the s'mores kit. You can also just buy the marshmallows and the roasting stick! I think the fire with the roasted marshmallows is one of the highlights of the walk! Haha! So, if ever you're around Vienna during the holidays, the winter walk of lights at Meadowlark is a fun way to spend an evening! I enjoyed the walk through the lights! (Of course, the marshmallows at the end too! =D )

This is not from Meadowlark Garden, it's from a friends house and just wanted to share! She goes all out when decorating for Christmas that when you visit her house, you can't help but feel a little more Christmas spirit! =) Hope everyone has a most wonderful time during that most wonderful time of the year, through the years! =D
