A mom at school told me about the
Gingerbread Village display at the Sheraton Hotel downtown. I dug deep for some energy so that I could take all three kids there right after Blake got out of school. We ended up doing a lot of exploring and had a bunch of fun.

Heading downtown. |

After learning the ropes of a parking garage, we finally got inside. |
 |
Excited to be so close. |
The gingerbread village was themed "Nursery Rhymes" this year:

Since we were off to a good start, I thought I would walk a few blocks to check out what Macy's had to offer:
 |
A Mini Donuts Booth??? Um, YES. Could not pass that one up. |
 |
My son said, "Forget the donuts. They have a merry-go-round." |
 |
Tickets purchased. |
Macy's famous star all lit up:
Along with the merry-go-round tickets came entrance to the giant Snow Globe. Kind of weird if you ask me. You stand in line and are only granted a total of 2 minutes in there. I think this will be the closest I ever get to one of those rooms where money blows up and swirls all around me (like on game shows). I love the pictures since I rarely get a picture of Reade in candid happiness. The boys kept pelting Piper with that fake, plastic-y snow. I didn't notice because I was taking pictures, but when our time was up, I looked down and Piper was a mini abominable snowman. No wonder the kids look so happy. Naughties.
