One evening after school and work, we went to the crazy light display in the Sunnyside neighborhood. Going right after work was a mistake because traffic to get over there was crazy (and an accident didn't help), but we eventually made it. We still beat the crowds (only one other family was there) - bus tours come through there and tons of other people.
On the Friday before Christmas, one of the girls in Carter's class (Sadie Mae) had her birthday party at Build-a-Bear Workshop. Carter was so,so, so excited to go there (we'd never been there before). It was a little crazy being at the mall only 5 days before Christmas, but the kids didn't seem to notice and had a blast. Even though the store was packed with a line out the door, the kids had their own special stuffer and everything (the parents had to stay out of the store though because it was too crowded, but we all got to sit and talk which was fine with us!). After everyone made their animals, they had a cookie from the Cookie Company in the food court (which is just across from Build-a-Bear).
Carter made a cool dog ...
And named it "Carter".
Over Christmas break, Brian and I tried to take the boys bowling one afternoon. It was an hour wait and we decided we didn't want to do that. The kids always get $1 each to play arcade games there and they still wanted to do that. But because those games aren't all that great, Brian and I decided to take the kids to Chuck E. Cheese's instead. It was their very first time there. They got $5 each and had a blast. Randomly, Carter got invited to a birthday party last Friday there too. He was so excited to return (as was Rylan who I brought along)!
