We visited the Macy's downtown holiday exhibit. It was a "Day in the Life of an Elf" again, but the girls loved it so much we went through three times!
They visited with Santa as well. Willa wouldn't really go near him and would definitely not talk to him, and Jia just wanted to know what kind of cookies he liked! The answer: chocolate chip.
We also attended the Holidazzle parade downtown. The weather was warm (30's). As a result, it was very crowded and I couldn't get a single good photo! Fun though!
We attended a performance of the Nutcracker as well. It was fantastic! We were blown away by the caliber of the dancing and the quality of the costumes. The girls were completely mesmerized. This will definitely become a Christmas tradition! The girls have since spent countless hours dancing in our living room to the Nutcracker music, and having their dolls perform the ballet as well!
This is not a holiday event, but it was a special one. We saw the Terracotta Warriors at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts! The girls were genuinely interested in learning all about them.
We topped off the night with an excellent dinner and the girls' favorite: lychee bubble green tea!
We had our first big snowfall...finally! It was so much fun! We spent much time sledding down our driveway, making snowmen, building forts and throwing snowballs.
Really, is there anything better than sledding with your friends?
I love how a huge snowfall brings the entire neighborhood together!
Maple syrup on snow and cocoa to end the day!
