Victorian Christmas

Today we joined our friends Kadance, Sean, and Declan (who is Cole's BFF) in Jacksonville for their Victorian Christmas celebration.  Jacksonville is an awesome historic little town (fun to visit even when they aren't having their famous city-wide yard sale!). The whole downtown is decorated to the nines with festiveness:

 Christmas carolers!

 A giant Christmas tree and a horse-drawn carriage ride - Cole really liked the carriage ride!

 Although, he wasn't too sure about the horses...they were pretty big:

 He also wasn't too sure about Santa - this is the second Santa we've visited, and while Cole loves Santa in books, he DOES NOT want to sit on Santa's lap in real life.  But sweet baby Declan was just fine with it:

It's so much fun getting out and doing new traditions!
