Christmas Traditions

For the past several years we have gone to see The Nutcracker.  It has been a fun Christmas tradition for our little family.  

This year we changed it up and went to see Trans Siberian Orchestra at the Sprint Center.  It was quite the show!  Mark enjoyed it the most, but us girls liked it too.  



We had fun talking selfies waiting for the show to start.  




Then we headed down to the Plaza to have dinner at The Cheesecake Factory.  We waited...and waited...and waited for 2 1/2 hours to be seated.  Lauren insisted that we stay and wait.  It's tradition.  


It was a gorgeous night, so we walked around for about an hour.  We went to the Russell Stover store and got some chocolate to snack on until dinner.  We browsed through Way Fair and then Barnes and Noble.  


Still waiting...LOL.  Finally at 8:30 we were seated...and starving.  We got a bread basket and an appetizer and we were good! 


Last night I took the girls to Christmas in the Park at Longview Lake.  The girls were sad we missed it last year, but apparently were a little bored this year...so maybe this was the last year?  Who knows! 


Then we stopped at the Magic Tree.


But I told the girls they did not need to bring coats...they were freezing...So we left! 


I love the Magic Tree.  Maybe next year we will bring coats.
