Christmas at the Village

 

                Two years ago, for Ryan’s first Christmas at Swiss Village, we went on a date to see all the Christmas trees throughout the building. It was such a fun night. I had a great time exploring with him! Last year, he was in his new role and needed to work the event, so I took Mom and Dad around for a while. They didn’t have the energy to tour the entire building, so when they got tired and went back to their apartment, I finished exploring on my own.

                This year he had to work again, and Mom and Dad didn’t feel up to an exploration of the building, so I did the whole night by myself. I confess it wasn’t a lot of fun to do it all alone. I tried to make the best of it, but I didn’t stay long. (I’m really terrible at doing adventures alone.)

                I went to watch one of the local high school groups sing Christmas carols for a little bit. They sounded great!

                Then I walked around to look at trees that had been decorated by local businesses and individuals. I always love the Grinch tree, but I also loved the other pretty trees I found!

                This year, Ryan worked in the train room. Isn’t this so cool?

                Ryan also found Santa…

                I went home, did some chores, snuggled up with Lexi, and we sent selfies to Ryan to show him how much we missed him!

                Maybe next year I can find a friend to take with me. I do love the trees!
