The Flame in My Heart

Last weekend, Reon and I went to Erwin Orchards in South Lyon for their festive of lights along with my parents. It was a beautiful night to go for the tractor ride with our hot chocolate in hand and the sparkle of lights in our eyes.

We headed out to the orchard around 6:30, it had been snowing huge flakes all day long so the orchard was covered in a fresh wihte blanket of snow. It crunched under our feet as we walked around looking at some of the lights on the outside of the mill. (we also stopped to take a few pictures!)

We headed into the heated tent to get our tickets and were greeted by Thunder, the reindeer. How cute is he?

Once inside we had the opportunity to take a few "formal" pictures by a gorgeous winter scene they had set up.




We decided to head into the mill BEFORE heading out on the tractors to enjoy the lights. Once there, we ordered hot chocolate and a donut (afterall it IS still a cider mill!) Then, we stopped and took some pictures with Santa and Mrs. Claus (they completely fit the part!) Santa even took a family portrait for us.




We stepped back out into the crisp cold air and hopped on the tractor. We curled up and snuggled to enjoy the third largest light show in the country.

All of the light displays were gorgeous and got us all in the Christmas spirit quickly, especially the boys!
