Christmas Under the Oaks

Okay, so there's not a whole lot to the little town of Sulphur (as far as entertainment goes), but I have to say that Sulphur has the coolest Christmas Festival around. I have been wanting to go to 'Christmas Under the Oaks' for the last few years, and finally made it on Saturday. We started out the day going to 'Breakfast with Santa', which was really cool--literally! It was set up outside in a tent and it was pretty cold, but it was so neat. First the girls had their picture taken with Santa and Mrs. Clause .............................



................and then we sat down and had a breakfast of pancakes and sausage.



We also enjoyed the company of the Zachary girls.



After breakfast, I dropped the girls off at the Zachary's for Emma's birthday party, and Wendy and I headed back up to the Henning House and had some delicious gumbo that Sulphur High was selling. Then we walked around and checked out all of the vendors selling all kinds of cool, fun, and delicious stuff. After Aaron had picked up the girls, we all headed back again for the Christmas tree lighting ceremony, complete with a video presentation--which made us proud to live in Sulphur, another sighting of Santa and Mrs. Clause, fireworks, and SNOW!!!! (No, it wasn't real, but as real as it will get in these parts.) The girls were SO excited to see it 'snow'. They were even trying to eat it. Yikes! We had a great time and look forward to next year.
