About 2 weeks ago I saw where out local baseball stadium is having Winter Nights where there will be walkthrough Christmas lights display at the stadium. 
Since Moonflower is in the Christmas Spirit, I thought it would be special to surprise her with the Christmas Lights display.

Rather than just having a regular, "Let's go see the lights," I'm so glad I was able to work it out as a surprise. 

I was so excited! Earlier in the day, my sis said that mom loved my lemons!! I was just elated. So she put mom on the phone and she mentioned how delicious they were, how the pulp was darker, and just how fresh and great they were compared to the store lemons. So we just went on and on about preservation, freezing, lemonade, how how many I have, and other lemon tree talk. 

This the first time I've grown something that someone ate and loved! I assume good cooks feel this sense of pride! I'm not a good cook so this is new to me, lol. 🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋

So I was already in such a great mood.

As we were getting closer to the baseball stadium, she could see that there were a lot of lights and she said, "Well somebody definitely has something going on big and special." (Something like that).

I said, "Gee I had no idea."

So we pulled on up and I said, "Surprise! This is your surprise." 🧑🏾‍🎄🤶🏾🎅🏾🎁🌲❄️🎄

So, boy they hurt my card, practically $30 to get in; for 2 tickets. I knew that it was $12 per person but where did the extra $6 come from? I can't imagine having more than one child; it is just unreal how much everything costs. 

It didn't take long to walk around the stadium, and on the baseball field. I said, 
"Well at least when we come to another baseball game we can say that we've been on the field." She smiled and nodded yep.

She liked the (small, cute) train that was on the field, and when we went to get in line, I was like to myself, "Knowing how everything nickels and dimes us, I bet this costs extra." So I overheard the lady telling the people $7 for one option, and how much ever for another option.

I told Moonflower it's extra so let's just get out of line. As we were walking back across the field, I didn't notice that I led us into the path of the train 🤣🤣🤣
Moonflower said "We're about to get hit by the train." I looked to the right and I saw the train light, it was so funny we just started laughing 🤣🤣

Santa's Workshop
I'm so glad that she saw people walking into another section, because it was looking like, "Well man, we need a little more festivities here."
Santa's work shop is where things started to come alive for us. Even though it was geared towards little kids to do their arts, crafts, and coloring; we made the most of it. I was going to be sure of it.

So here are a few pictures:

One of the elves, a Black lady, said "Y'all look so cute."

I'm always relieved to see some other Black people at these type of events. There were not hardly any at all, but thankfully everything went wonderful. 

As Moonflower put her letter to Santa in the mailbox I said, "I know she's older but we're trying to keep the magic alive."
The lady just started clapping as Moonflower put the letter in the mailbox; that was so cute. I adored her energy!
