Christmas Tree Lane

Christmas Tree Lane, Fresno, CA: One of our favorite (albeit slightly overrated) Christmas traditions. Instead of fighting other cars down Van Ness, we go during Walk Night, when you get to run over people with your stroller and chase your two-year old through rich peoples' bushes.

Here are some pics from our trip in December:

Yay for new times with old friends! Thanks for coming, Chloe! Emily wonders if we REALLY think we are fooling her with this 2-dimensional yellow man in a red suit.


















And I cannot leave out the Great Mud Incident of 2008. Shortened version:


Emily resists holding hands while walking.

Emily falls in mud.

Kim takes pictures.

Chloe laughs until she cries mascara.



Overall, it was another splendid walk down Van Ness Avenue, and one was definitely plan to repeat next year.

Emily 'holding' the Santa cutout is hilarious. Wish we were closer so we could be there for all of these fun memories!

The Great Mud Incident of '08 was by far the greatest thing I have EVER partaken in. However, it DID prove that I am going to be a bad mother! What kind of person becomes paralyzed from laughter at the sight of a kid with mud in their mouth?!?! Sorry Kim ... it was all I could do to not be on the ground in the mud with Emily! =)
