The 12 Days of Christmas- Day 4

On the 4th day of Christmasy blog posts I give you the "Luminaria Lighting"

Last weekend Kris' folks invited us on a little trip to Sedona and we just happened to be there on the one night they do a lighting of 6000 luminarias at the Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village.
We went a little early to wander around and see the shops and listen to a little music.

 Then, when it was time, the kids had a blast getting to light the luminarias.  Every kid is a pyro at heart, right? And this was a bonafied, public-sanctioned opportunity to play with fire. Matthew might have even blown out more than a few of them just so he could relight them.




 It was such a beautiful night and we enjoyed the company, the entertainment, the art and the beauty of all those lights.
 We were trying to show all the lit luminarias in the background of these pictures, it was a sight to see so many of them.

A Christmas candle is a lovely thing;
It makes no noise at all,
But softly gives itself away.

How did you find all these quotes? Did you google them or something? I am sure all those luminaries looked amazing. What a fun thing for them to be a part of.
