Holidays Around the World

Holidays Around the World 2013 at Epcot.

We went over to Epcot for the evening with our friends. Caroline won four tickets for VIP IllumiNations seating outside the Italy pavilion. We bought some hot chocolate and gingerbread cookies before the show.

We also got to see the Candlelight Processional lead by one of my favorite country singers, Trace Adkins. It was a wonderful Christmas-y evening with good friends.
