We've been keeping busy with Christmas activities around here! We took the girls on our annual trip to the Sheraton Hotel downtown Seattle to see the amazing gingerbread houses on display. This year there were some real awesome ones - The Little Mermaid, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, Aladdin and Alice in Wonderland.
Emma was in borderline spirits and soon made it clear that all she wanted to do was this:
Or this:
Unfortunately the gentleman in front of us was using a cane and so being knocked in the back of the knee with a giant double stroller was probably not his favorite. I had to remove Emma from the premises after she threw a room-silencing-all-eyes-on-us tantrum in the middle of the lobby when I wouldn't let her "help" with the stroller anymore. Once outside, she laid face down on the pavement and screamed. Wow. She's barely one but already going on two!!
Isla on the other hand was quite interested in the gingerbread houses (and the candy cane!) Alice in Wonderland was her favorite.
I love going downtown at Christmas time! It's so festive and somehow I find it less stressful than going to the mall (probably because I have a husband with mad parking skills who always seems to be able to find a spot).
This photo was not photoshopped. The trees were just that cool!
Emma cheered up again once she was cozily back in the stroller.
Next stop: the Christmas Carousel at Westlake. Isla loved it! Her only issue was that the ride was too short and I'd have to agree. I would have enjoyed another spin or two.
Emma was skeptical, as she is with most new things these days. At first it was ok.
Then she wanted OFF!
What a fun way to spend the first day of December!
