Today I Looked At Lights.

We went to Garden D'Lights and Snowflake Lane in Bellevue this evening.  The girls got to stay up an hour and a half later than usual and did surprisingly well.  If you are anywhere near Seattle, I highly recommend both of these events.  We caught the garden on a free night, but it's only $5 per adult on other nights.  The Bellevue Botanical Garden people did an aMAZing job of decorating!  It was so fun to see the girls' eyes get all big as they took in the incredible displays. 

The lane is free and starts at 7pm every night.  Only lasts about 15 minutes, but soooooooooooo fun!  Loud Christmas music with lots of drum-playing toy soldiers, dancing snowmen, mice, polar bears and even  sugar plum fairies (more on that in a bit)!  As we were leaving, a cute toy solider stopped us to say hi to Ash and give her a candy cane tootsie pop (anyone know where I can get more of those?).  She was over the moon!  She had just met a "gabby" and then a red cheeked, smiley lady gave her CANDY!


Daddy & Britt-Britt.  Poor baby has a mean mother who stuffs her chubby head into hats that are too small.  Haha!


My favorite.


Me 'n my babies.  Tony told Ash to say cheese.  Hence, the cheeser-face.


Snowflake Lane.


This toy soldier was grooving to the music.  Hubster and I were both impressed by his dance moves on stilts!


Look at that happy little smile on Ash's face!  She was just really, REALLY thrilled to see this winged creature with the pretty purple dress and magic wand! 

I just wish I'd thought to snap a pic of the cute, sticky mess Ash was after she'd polished off her lollipop!  Haha!  Such a fun night. 

Oh, oh!  And it was pouring buckets all the way to Bellevue (which took a while due to traffic) but as soon as we got out of the car, the clouds parted and the raining stopped.  Hallelujah!
