Seattle Festivities

On Saturday we bundled up and decided to take in the festivities of the city. We hadn't really explored Seattle during the holidays before so we thought it might be fun. We went down to the Seattle Center and rode the carousel, watched ice skating, holiday performances, saw the miniature train and ate lunch. We then met up with one of John's coworkers and his family and rode the monorail over to the Westlake shopping area. We visited the Sheraton Hotel and saw the gigantic gingerbread creations, got drinks at Starbucks, and walked through Pike Place Market. It was a fun outing, despite the little fender bender as we were pulling out of the parking lot and the flat tire. It was a great day as a family though.
Luci rode in the Kelty backpack for the first time and loved the view!

BY the miniature train display. Emilio wasn't trying to choke his sister, he was trying to get her to look up for the photo.

"The Polar Express" Gingerbread creation
The Family, notice little Luci's head peaking around Daddy's shoulder
"The Muppets Christmas" my personal fav because the characters faces were done in jelly belly jelly beans, yummy!
The pike place pig.
Gabi was in love. She kept trying to kiss the pig, and I kept yelling, "NO, DON'T KISS THE PIG, He's dirty!"
