Christmas FHE

For the last few years I've wanted to go to Americana at Christmas time to watch it snow.  They only do it twice a night and it's usually too late for our kids.  Well this year I planned it in advance that we would go for FHE before all the Christmas crowds.  It was perfect weather that night along with the most amazing sunset.

We got Alex and Cole's picture taken with Santa.  It was a little easier than last year as you can see below :)

A Din Tai Fung just opened at Americana so we had some of their yummy juicy pork dumplings and green beans for dinner.

All of Alex's favorites...noodles, "potstickers", and rice.  Too bad he wouldn't eat any green beans.

Cole is pretty much over baby food except for his food packets :)

The snow didn't start until 7pm and had 40 minutes to kill so we rode the trolley around twice.

We watched the fountains and admired the 100ft Christmas tree.

and then it snowed and it wasn't cold.  Alex loved it and kept saying wow mama it's snowing!!  I love Christmas time and Americana really is magical aside from the shopping.
