Santa cat and Yuletide Celebration

 The holidays just wouldn't be complete without a photo torturing our poor feline with a Santa hat.
 Lizzy really doesn't mind all that cuddling though...:)
 Our view of the stage at Hilbert theater...waiting for the show to start!  This was the first year that Juliette was able to go.  She did so well and sat in her seat or our laps with her full 2 year old attention! My heart melted at the beginning when I saw pure excitement and joy on all 3 girls faces.  Isabelle liked the "Night before Christmas" scene.  Allie enjoyed watching the "girl who twirled in the air" during the Enchanted Toy Shop scene.  Juliette was clapping at the end of every number and also did a bit of conducting watching the orchestra.  This is such a fun and special tradition for our family and look forward to it annually!
 The girls absolutely loved the gorgeous lobby Christmas tree.

 Allie really enjoyed her frosted sugar cookie and milk at intermission.  They were super delicious!
 My beauties!
 After the show, we surprised the girls with a horse carriage ride around downtown.  They were so excited!  They picked a white horse and since the Colts game had just let out, we went along Mass Ave for our 30 minute ride.  The weather was a bit chilly (low 50s) and rainy all day.  
 Inside the carriage...ready to go!

The girls and Daddy.  We would have liked to spend more time at the Circle and see the lights at dusk, but it had started to rain again.  We ate dinner at the Rathskellar where Juliette decided that her good behavior was going to quickly disappear.  :)
