Snowflake Lane!!!

We have been waiting all month to go to Snowflake Lane in Bellevue and we finally went on Monday. My parent's and Jared (and Christian, a friend of Jared's who just got home from his mission) came over for it. Marci also came up to meet us. We met up at Cheesecake Factory for dinner then enjoyed the festive celebration. It was fun and seemed way busier than last year, but I think it's because it was the week before Christmas and kids are out of school now. They do this celebration every night at 7pm for the month of December for free. I remember last year we spent good money on the Santa train in Snoqualmie (you ride a train, see Santa, get cookies/hot cocoa and ride the train back) and the kids liked Snowflake Lane better than that! And this is FREE! haha!

What the street looks like, lots of snowflakes and people.

The kiddos posing for us. Kate bought that Santa hat at the dollar store with her money from the tooth fairy because a couple of her friends had one and she wanted one. haha!

Some of the spectators, good face Jared!

Kate with the snow princess who she was so excited to see that night.

Dancing with the toy soldiers that walk on stilts. They also have drummers come out and stand on podiums and they play to Christmas songs while the characters dance around shaking tambourines. It's very loud and festive!

We were getting a picture of Kyle and I when the toy soldier jumped in our picture. It was funny. And just as I was uploading the picture I noticed Jared peeking above Kyle's head, nice Jared!

At the end, it snows *bubbles* and Lindsey was trying to grab them.

With Frosty and another princess

I thought this was cute of the kid's holding hands. It's nice when they get along. ;)
