Macy's Santaland, Minneapolis European Market and a Visit with Best Friends

We took our annual trip to Macy's 8th floor and saw A Day in the Life of an Elf again. 
It was the same theme but we did it with different people who hadn't seen it before and it was wonderful. So Christmasy! It was more crowded than other years but we loved it anyways.


Our good friend Erin and her daughter Emma who is Linnea's good buddy met us there along with my best buddy from like 4th grade! Mack and Timo are here visiting from Germany for the holidays so we thought his was a perfect holiday event to do together :)

Fascinated!

And here is Mack!


Instead of the Holidazzle Parade Minneapolis put together a European Market. It was very cute but I am sure glad it was family day so we got in for free :) It would not have been worth paying 3-6 bucks to get in. We did enjoy the carousel, the girls did a scavenger hunt, we tried some samples of honey and fried cheese and I bought these delicious potato pancakes! The girls either really did love them or were super famished but they ate them right up with me!


We then went to Emma's and did some crafts, another tradition we have created.


Then we met Mack and Timo back at our house for our traditional John's Pizza. Always the Veggie 2000. We also played old school Nintendo and had so much fun! 


Linnea did some more photography for us...




And she played a musical instrument game with us and we watched The Snowman :)


Another perfect holiday night! This season goes to quickly!
