December 2017 Part 3 - Helicopter Christmas Light Tour, Christmas Eve Candlelight Service, and More!

12/23/17  We took a helicopter ride to see Christmas lights around Lubbock.  It was a lot of fun and a neat experience since none of us had been in a helicopter before!  The view was magnificent and the pictures don't do it justice!!!  Jacen of course wanted to sit up front with the pilot!
12/24/17 Christmas Eve!  We watched Home Alone 1 and 2, worked on the rest of his Lego Advent calendar, went to Candlelight Service at church, and drove around to look at Christmas lights!  Finally, right before bed we set out cookies and milk for Santa!
