Snowflake Lane

Snowflake Lane in Bellevue is a family favorite activity for Christmas time. My parents and Marci met up with us on Monday night. We ate at yummy Cheesecake Factory before then headed outside for the fun festivities on the sidewalk. It wasn't raining and that was a miracle because the forecast for all week was rain except for Monday. 


Snow Princess


Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer 


I had left her heavier blanket in the car so we got lots of looks from people when her bare arms would show. It was chilly, but she was a good sport and was so good.


My little brown eyed Lindsey Loo Who!


These girls and the drummer boys would march down the sidewalk while we watched and danced to the Christmas music. It's very festive. The toy soldiers on stilts would hand out candy cane suckers. I think my kids got 2 each, "hey do you want a sucker? I already have one. Do you want another one? Yeah" That was the conversation I overheard one have with Kate. haha!



Listening to the drummer boy play with the music. I just love the ambience there!


Such a good picture of my Mom with Preston


Me with my Mom and Marci


Our crowd :)


Kate was dancing with this girl and then she let Kate hold and play her tambourine. Kate was lovin' it!

After Snowflake Lane, Kyle took the kids home to put in bed and I stayed with Marci and my parents to go shopping for my Dad's Christmas present from us kids. Kyle had met us there from work so I was driving his car back home. Well, when I went to start it it wouldn't start. The battery was dead. I was in a parking garage and could see where my parents were parked and they were just backing up to leave so I hurried and called my Dad. They came over to help me, but neither of us had jumper cables. My Mom ended up driving around to find security who eventually came and jumped my car so I could  be on my way. Kyle had left on 2 overhead lights when he was looking for his phone he dropped. I was glad my parents were there to help!
