River Oaks

We had heard from friends that a fun place to look at Christmas lights is in a neighborhood close to downtown Houston called River Oaks.  Its the wealthiest neighborhood in all of Texas and is even in the top 10 wealthiest neighborhoods in the U.S.  It was unreal!  The houses were beautiful with  beautiful lights Christmas lights.  One house even had two miniature horses grazing in their front lawn!
A lot of the trees had just strands of lights dangling.  It looked like rain.  It was gorgeous.

We came upon one house that had lots of cute lawn decorations and fake snow blowing from their trees!  As the boys were having fun playing in the "snow" Santa came walking by!  We had no idea!  Talk about perfect timing, because this house has Santa that sits on their front porch for the children.  They also have a professional photographer that takes the kids picture with Santa and then posts it on her facebook page so we could download later.  Such a nice gesture, and the kids had a total blast.
