Enjoying the Season

We've been having a great couple days enjoying the Christmas season. Yesterday we took Savvy to a free concert at the downtown library featuring the Sacramento Youth Symphony. The kids were amazing and Savvy enjoyed hearing them play and getting to faux conduct from the audience. She also loved that we let her wear a little eye shadow and one of our necklaces to the show :) After the show we walked downstairs to the children's library and let Savvy do some gingerbread craft projects before braving the rain and walking back to the car.

Today D got lucky in the Midtown Sacramento Elf Hunt, going by Bows and Arrows (a cool vintage store downtown) to find one of the twelve elves they'd hidden for the contest. She found one, scoring herself a set of three gift certificates for midtown retailers. This evening we took advantage of the brief break in the rain to go for a 2 mile walk through our neighborhood and check out some of the amazing Christmas lights nearby. Savvy actually gasped when we got to the large Christmas display we were walking towards. She was awesome-- walking for about one of the two miles and not fussing once. The dogs enjoyed the outing, too and both found lawns to relieve themselves on. :) Now we're back home watching a Sing A Long songs video with Savvy before bed. Hope your season is turning out to be just as merry...
