Christmas Family Tradition
We started a new family tradition last year that we love. My dad made a deal with my youngest sister Desi and her husband Jimmy. If they come home for Christmas (they live in California) and we can all be together, my parents will take us out to a family style meal at Maggiano's in Bellevue for dinner. Then after dinner we will catch the show on Snowflake Lane at Bellevue Square. We did it tonight and it was a blast! Dinner was amazing. They serve us family style and it's all you can eat. We had stuffed mushrooms, mozzarella marinara, house salad, caesar salad, spaghetti with meatballs, gnocchi with vodka cream sauce, chicken piccatta, chicken Parmesan, bread, and of course dessert with cheesecake and an apple tart:) So yummy! Then off to the free show we went. If you have never been, I highly recommend it. It's outside and they have a whole bunch of real drummer boys who play to different Christmas music. It's so cool to hear all the drummer boys together. They also have Frosty, Rudolph, winter princess, and more drummer boys walking around giving candy to the kids. Then at the end the show it snows! The kids just loved it and we had a blast. Till next year...

That does sound like a cool show! I love that Bellevue park. Were you there when the skating rink tent collapsed? Marriano's sounds a lot like Buca di Beppos . . is it better?
WOW! That sounds sooo fun! Maybe we'll have to stick around here another year so we can do that! :( Hope your Christmas was wonderful. We need to meet for coffee and catch up. When does other Tiff return?
XOXO
