Well... fake snow, anyway. And the kids definitely know better... it didn't fool them, that's for sure - Emma asked, "mom, why does this snow smell like bubblebath?". But we had a good time amidst the 5 minute long "snow" flurries. We spent the evening at Kierland Commons for their "Miracle on Main Street" festivities - which included the snowfall every hour (ie- soap suds flying out of several snow machines tied up to the tops of the surrounding Christmas-lit palm trees), Santa Clause, and carriage rides. We spent a lot of our evening standing in lines, but the kids were so excited, it didn't seem to matter much... other than Becca telling me repeatedly that she didn't want to sit on Santa's lap... Emma happily visited with Santa (which was the first year this has happened). She told him that she'd like a big rocking horse and some jewelry for Christmas. (Ben's had a miserable cold today, so he needed to rest after getting home from work - I kept Jake at home with him... so it was just us girls!)
That looks like a great outing. Tell the girls that next week grandma will take them out to play in 'real' snow. We'll find a good hill and do some sledding.
ReplyDeleteBring lots of warm clothing. We've had some light snow so far, but the big storms are sure to come.
Utah will be a bit of a shock to you Arizona folks.
For my refrigerator photos of the week I printed the one of the two girls in front of the Christmas tree and Emma with Santa.
ReplyDeleteI'll also post those in my classroom today just for fun and to give my class something Christmasy to look at.
You caught my attention with this header. I was like, " Did I really miss snow?" nah! Love the pics! Did you recently get highlights? Your hair looks so good in that pic!
ReplyDeleteWas it cold that evening, I see winter coats, gloves and blankets?
