Uptown Charlotte

We ventured into uptown Charlotte (that is what we call downtown here in Charlotte, downtown is a whole other place!) on a snowy Saturday!  For once our usual over preparedness with gloves and hats paid off.  We weren't expecting a little snowstorm.  Terefech squealed in delight catching snowflakes on her tongue.




Terefech and Declan loved how big the trees in the Bank of America building were, how large the ornaments were, and how little they were compared to the tree.


We went to see the Leonard Bearstein Symphony Orchestra perform their Christmas tunes.  Declan loved it as he has for 3 years.  Terefech was unimpressed.  "They just sing, they don't even really move that much."  They both did think it was funny that there were bears with the same names as 2 of their classmates, Violet and Ella.


We tried to get some loving sibling pictures...this is how they usually turn out.  But notice the snow out the window!!!


Someone told us about the giant gingerbread house at the Ritz Carlton so we stopped in to see that.  This was the best picture we got of them.  They were severely disappointed that you couldn't go in the house.  We all imagined that the sink inside probably has hot chocolate coming out of it!

Very cool. I can't believe how tall Terefech is!
