december 12th - a very furry (and special) christmas

The annual Christmas date with Sesame Place today. One key difference from last year was the fact that it is now 70° and there were about 700% more people there, which made it difficult to move around. Mommy officially re-designed her own methods of crowd control in her head given she was a disgruntled customer:)  The Burger clan did, however, manage to get the royal treatment because we know a guy (or a girl inside a guy).

We went to the holiday song and dance show, which the kids LOVED.  Alex even went up on stage...lots of other kids were going up before the show, so Alex whispered in Daddy's ear..."daddy if I go up on stage, will you take a picture of me."  Hilarious!

After the show, Cookie Monster brought out his friends for our kids to meet the characters one on one.  Gemma almost lost it when she saw Abby Cadabby.  Alex wanted nothing to do with anyone except Cookie Monster.  It took a bit of explaining to the kids why they are so special and got to meet the characters...they just think it is part of the show and don't realize that the thousands of other kids are just dollar signs!
