Holiday Hooray!

Our friend Mel was given tickets for her birthday to the Holiday Hooray! featuring Let Your Music Shine with Lisa and Linda at Benaroya Hall in Seattle. Unfortunately, her husband James couldn't come (it was the weekend they could start moving into their new place), so Mel asked me to tag along and help with the girls. It was fun to go. The show was part of a tiny tots series, so the audience was full of parents and kids under seven years old. It was only an hour long (to keep the little ones interested). After the show, we had some time to spare before our parking time was up, so we thought we'd walk a couple blocks to the Sheraton Hotel to view the Gingerbread Village (this years theme is Harry Potter). We get there, but didn't realize you had to stand in a long line that was slower than molasses to look at the gingerbread creations. We decided this wasn't feasible with two little toddlers. So we walked in the opposite direction of the roped-off line to get quick glances and snap pics between people. Good enough! We picked up a quick lunch on our way back to the car and then headed home.
