For the past three years, Lone Star College Cy-Fair has had a Lighting of the Lake Festival. The first year left a lot to be desired, but we kept going back. We figured it would be a good rehearsal with Santa. Each year it's gotten better and more organized. This year was by far the best. Alyssa made a candle for Hanukkah, a Christmas ornament, and decorated a gingerbread man. We had hot chocolate and cupcakes while listening to the jazz ensemble. There was an ice sculptor. Seeing a man make something out of a huge chunk of ice and a chainsaw was pretty impressive. We got our face painted. And of course, we saw Santa. And even though it was very chilly it was so much fun!

| She was so excited to see Santa, but still a little timid. |
 |
| They talked it out. |
 |
| And soon became fast friends. |
