Fun in Seattle

One of our favorite things to do during the Christmas season is visit Seattle and view the Gingerbread Houses at the Sheraton Hotel.  We thought this year's houses were phenomenal and the best yet.  Afterwards we had a leisurely lunch at P.F. Chang's followed by some shopping at Westlake Center.  Naturally we had to spend some time and $$ at the Coug Store there.  We had so much fun!

Arriving in Seattle. The parking spaces are so tiny.  We were lucky enough to find one right away.

Waiting for the elevator to get up to street level.

Beautiful Christmas Tree in the Sheraton lobby. 

The first house was Grand Central Station.  We loved that they created Minions from Despicable Me instead of people.

They are so cute!

Gabby liked that they included a Starbucks.

The Minion in the candy corn hat was my favorite so I took a close-up.

A sign asked us to guess how many pieces of gum they used on their gingerbread house and there's the answer.

We loved the Hogwarts theme.

Harry Potter flying by on his broom.

Australia's Flinder Street Station which is in Melbourne.

Naturally Santa would use flying Kangaroos instead of reindeer when he's in Australia!

We loved the sheep & the little Kiwi birds.

There have to be Koalas.

The Land of Misfit Toys from the story of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

And there is Rudolph & his girlfriend Clarice.

He was my favorite character-Yukon Cornelius

The Abominable Snow Monster a.k.a. Bumble

And, of course, it's Santa!
