Well, at least in the heart of one child, specifically Addison Kate. She's fine with sitting on Santa's lap, or waving to and chatting with strangers, but show her a cute Penguin on Snowflake Lane and she is gripped with terror and cries hysterically. Here is the culprit...
Don't let him fool you, Addison knows the truth about him. She must, since this was her reaction...
And everytime he walked back past us, she would look something like this...
Even the sucker gripped in her hand didn't take her mind off that scary penguin.
Although Addison wasn't a huge fan of Bellevue's Snowflake Lane, the rest of us were! Amy Jo joined the girls and I to go check it out, and although it is always an adventure with three young children, a long drive on a rainy evening, and the craziness of malls at Christmas time, we had fun regardless. Amy Jo is always up to these adventures with me, while Derek usually thinks I am crazy. That is why we pack the activities in when he is out of town:)
Oh, we also hit Bellevue Botanical Gardens right before this, but it was POURING down rain and it was a very quick trip. The lights seem a little less enchanting when the kids are freezing and wet, and we are trying to push a stroller while holding umbrellas. But of course, we still snapped a few pictures!
