FORTY-SIX

Afternoon tea and fruitcake and perusing cookbooks with my bug.

2017 week forty-six

On Tuesday night, Matthew and I went to a concert to see Alt-J. We had such a fun time, but we clearly need to up our selfie game. Or at least one of us does...

Alt-J

On Thursday I got to go watch Vera's Thanksgiving performance. It was ridiculously cute.

Grocery shopping takes so much longer when your kids decide to be wild animals and insist on crawling through the store. I'm glad no one's fingers were smashed. 

Saturday afternoon we went downtown for the Holiday Stroll. Free hot chocolate, petting zoo, train rides, etc.

A sassy pose is the best way to enjoy hot chocolate. 

On the train ride! 

We waited in a long line for the "reindeer launch." The two harnesses set up for adults were left empty for most of the time, so Matt and I decided to take a turn while the line slowly inched forward. It was so fun. Even when I landed on my face attempting to flip. Hah. The second and third flip went a lot smoother. 

And then there are some of us who are natural acrobats. A little boy in line said he was just like Spiderman. 

It was absolutely worth the wait for this little one.
