December 23

Tonight we took an extremly crabby kid out to look at Christmas lights. After coercing him into the car, we headed to Ralph's for some hot chocolate and mochas. The minute he had a sip of his, Will exclaimed, "I don't like it." I set it in the cup holder and not 5 minutes later he kicked his feet and hot chocolate went flying all over the car. Of course, that very same minute he decided he was thirsty enough to actually drink the hot chocolate. Instant tears since he had no more hot chocolate and I had nothing else to give him. He just kept whining "I'm thirsty," over and over and over again. We nearly turned the car around without seeing a single light. Finally, we stopped at a gas station to get Will some juice and all was well with the world. There were some great houses, but this one was our favorite by a long shot!
