MckKee Botanical Garden decorates Waldo Sexton’s Hall of Giants all out for the holidays.

Little Henry Stevens and his dad Kyle can hardly wait
for their special holiday evening.
“It’s such a magical time,” Kyle Stevens said, recalling
how Henry pointed and laughed at the trains racing
through snowy villages and watched Santa warily at McKee
Botanical Garden last December.
“The boys were a little too young for Santa last year,” he
said. “You could tell they were interested but they thought
he was a little scary.
The whole family, mom Catherine, dad, and sons Elliot, 2,
and Henry, who will be 4 by December, will head for McKee
one evening to walk among the softly lighted luminaria, visit
the snowy Christmas village in the Hall of Giants, sip apple
cider and enjoy the chance to visit with other families.
