Merry Christmas!

We spent Christmas Eve at the Seattle Center - home to the infamous Seattle Space Needle. We actually took the kids up into the Space Needle and surveyed our beautiful city. Edison loved the elevator ride and the exhibit that lets you control a video camera / monitor. This fountain was from the same world's fair that Seattle hosted in 1964. It is synchronized to music (Christmas music this time of year). I think it is so great that it is set up to invite people to come into it and play and check it out.


The Space Needle had a 1960s retro theme event complete with a retro Santa with spaceship. It made for a pretty cool Santa photo!


Christmas morning - the kids were good this year and Santa left them lots of goodies in their stockings. It was a really fun Christmas since Edison can now understand about 90% of what is going on with the celebration. Okay - that might be an overestimate. He knew we were having a big party, wanted to know where the birthday cake was, and was excited to open presents. I guess we'll try to nail down a few more details for next year - like what Christmas IS!


Nothing says Christmas like a red velvet dress and tights with ruffles on the butt.
