A Must-do!

Jaely and I had a great time on Black Friday, shopping our little hearts out.  It was so cute - she decided (with NO input from me, seriously) that she wanted to take a nap on Thursday afternoon, so she could stay up all night long.  And that, she did.  We were at Toys-R-Us at 10, Southcenter at midnight, and numerous other stops all the way home.  Even at 4 a.m., she was begging to go to more stores - thank goodness I have veto power.

After a nap and round 2 at the Supermall, we decided to head up to Bellevue Square.  What an awesome experience.

I'd seen signs for "Snowflake Lane," but I thought it was just going to be a cute little thing where it snows outside for 5-10 minutes.  Boy was I wrong.  Live drummers come out and play along with the music, and there is a parade that goes up and down both sides of the street.  Add some snow and festive music, and there were great memories made.

Yes, it is a drive up there.  But it is totally worth it.  Google "snowflake lane bellevue" to find more information.  It starts at 7, but we were there at 6:15 and didn't get a prime spot to stand.  Plan for the weather, bring your camera, and enjoy a great tradition!
