It’s November which means that we’re already dove into the holidays. Thanksgiving is only a few days away and in about a month it Christmas! If you are anything like me, you are checking all the blogs to see where to go to see lights. Tonight I was invited to the Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort to preview their 25^th Annual Lighting of the Bay!

Let me tell ya if you haven’t been then you must come out and see what they have in store for you. The 3 day celebration with begin Friday November 27^th at 3 pm with Live Performances by OC Children’s Song Group and Corona Del Mar High School Choir and then at 5:30 Santa Claus will paddle board in and flipping the giant light switch to illuminate the bay.

Festivities on Saturday November 28^th will start at 10 am which includes a Boutique Craft Fair featuring more than 1,000 gift items, homemade crafts, antiques and collectibles. The 50 ton snow-filled winter wonderland opens at 11 am ready for families to sled and play in the snow.

I’m an OC mom of two and photographer. I love living in Southern California and want to expose my children to all that it offers. I love taking my kids on adventures and capturing their every moment so much so that my kids find it odd if I don’t take their pictures. You can see my work on facebook.com/photosbynaz.
