Magical Night

Our kids have been asking, "When are we going to have that night where you put us to bed and then wake us up and take us downtown?"  We usually answer, "Oh, I don't know if we'll do that again this year..." But of course, it's a tradition now! 

So, one night last week, we put them to bed early, then "woke" them up, to which there were screams, smiles, and jumping like none other!  Hudson got in on the action too, not even sure why he was screaming or jumping, but just following big brother and sister's lead.  We whisked them downtown for Hot Cocoa from the South Bend Chocolate Factory and looking at lights around the circle & people taking carriage rides.  I guess the tradition will have to continue, just don't tell our kids... :)
