We wanted to go up to Frisco to see their town square area because they have the lights set up to music. It was really pretty and not nearly as crazy busy as last year (the first year they did it).
We also discovered the Frisco Heritage Museum, which isn't too far from the town square. Outside, they had an old-time engine decorated for Christmas.
We then decided to head to the Frisco Fire Department's Fire Safety Town, which was right down Main Street from where we were.
I forgot about their Holiday Lights event, so we were surprised they were open when we got there. Despite the freezing cold temperatures, we decided to get out of the car and explore the little town. I felt bad for Mara, though. We weren't planning on getting out of the car during our adventure, so she didn't have her hat and gloves, but she endured and had a fun time.
While there, Mara got a gingerbread man tattoo and her nose painted red like Rudolph.
She also got to play on a real firetruck that they've converted a little to make it a permanent part of Fire Safety Town.
And after multiple opportunities throughout December, Mara finally got close enough to talk to Santa and tell him that she wants a DS for Christmas. She wouldn't really get close to him still, but she would pose with her daddy to get a picture. The guy manning the area was nice enough to allow me to get in a picture too.
And here are some random pictures from around Fire Safety Town. They have miniaturized versions of Wal-Mart, the Dallas Morning News/WFAA building, houses, a bank, the Frisco Police Department, the Frisco Fire Department, Babe's Chicken, and several more buildings that I can remember right now. It really is a cute place for kids to go.
