After Santa holiday fun

Our Santa visit was so much fun, so we decided to extend the fun for the entire afternoon.

Next on the list - the holiday carousel in downtown Kent. Not the most fancy or elaborate of carousels around but the girls didn't seem to care. AND the rides were free!!!

Then we needed some hot chocolate and a warm fire to warm up, although half of Nora's drink ended up all over my pants.

And we ended the afternoon with a concert by Recess Monkey at the Black Diamond Library. We have seen them twice now and the girls were singing their songs all night long. They are like the Seattle version of the Wiggles (but not as annoying for the parents!).

Nora was a bit exhausted by the end of the day, so this is how she arrived home.

And this is what Tom was doing while we were having our fun girls day out.
