The night before Christmas Eve we headed to Cheekwood to see the Holiday Lights. We had planned to be there at 5pm, but we were running a little late and ended up leaving the house at 4:45pm. When we pulled up to Cheekwood the line was backed up all around the whole neighborhood. There were so many cars that people were parking at Percy Warner Golf Course and hiking up to Cheekwood. We waited in line for 35 minutes before even making it to park. It was PACKED! If you plan to do Cheekwood Lights I HIGHLY recommend going a different night, there were just so many people that it was hard to keep track of the children. It took much longer than we anticipated, so my children were starving by the time we got there. I am normally so on top of it with snacks and being prepared with extras but I was pressed for time with getting ready for Christmas and did not bring a single snack. Michael ended up waiting in line for 30 minutes to get gross popcorn that he said cost more than Disney World popcorn, LOL!
Conor was a bear almost the entire time we were there screaming and crying and just in no mood to be there, so I did not take any pictures. Sharon took some family photos, but the flash was pretty bright so it was hard to get everyone looking.

The boys still really love the trains at Cheekwood. We have to drag them away every time
It was so pretty, but next year we will definitely go earlier in the season!
