Us right before we headed out
After lunch we headed over to the Riverwoods to see The Chronicles of Narnia. Before our movie started, though, we walked around and browsed the stores. We found a really fun toy store called Blickenstaffs (I think...). They had the coolest toys! Willie and I had fun riding around in these cool contraptions.
For Willie's you just wiggled your feet and you started moving, and mine you wiggled that steering wheel thing with your hands. They were super fun! We went into our movie, and it was so good. We have seen all of the Chronicles of Narnia movies together in the theaters. Little did we know when we came out that the Riverwoods would be transformed into a Winter Wonderland! They had lights everywhere, and a little gazebo in the middle with a band playing Christmas music. The best part was they had horse-drawn carriage rides going on. I was looking at them thinking ok, yes, that looks super fun, but we don't need to pay 20 dollars for one. And then I saw the sign and line of people and realized they were FREE!!! Oh I was so excited!! I think carriage rides are kind of magical. We went on a carriage ride the night we got engaged.
So we waited maybe 5 minutes and it was our turn!! The little girls sitting across from us busted into song singing Jingle Bells while we were riding. It was like we had our own personal carolers serenading us the whole time lol.

This is the game the kid wishes on in Big. It was pretty fun, but they were out of fortune cards! After playing this game we went over and looked at this cute Christmas house they had.
Cute little fires they had everywhere

Yay for 6 months! How fun! I totally love carriage rides too and always think they are over priced, how lucky! I love all your pictures. Have a great Christmas Gracie! Love ya!
Fun! I'm jealous. I've never been on a carriage ride! You guys are the cutest couple. :)
Happy 6 month anniversary! You guys really are the cutest newlyweds. I was talking to my dad and he said you guys have had the smoothest transition to being married. It does seem like you guys are so happy!
That night seemed so wonderful! A carriage ride and the machine from "Big"?!? Could it get any better?
That sounds like a perfect night! I can't believe Willie set it all up. He probably even tipped the little girl so she would start singing. How beautiful the snow and carriage ride would be. Happy 6 months!!!!
Oh, Gracie....how cute you two are!! Happy six months -- we miss you guys!!
That sounds like such a wonderful 6 month celebration. You guys are the cutest!
