A little Rockwell

Last year we visited the window displays downtown

and this year it was one of the handful of things I was sad to think we would miss

{living in another city}

but we are here and we had a chance to go back in time for the evening

It is a quick visit with the combination of cold and attention spans

but well worth it

We made an evening out of it and went to Red Onion with the Grandparents

we ordered hot chocolate at the end of the meal 

so our tummies and our bodies would stay warm for the adventure

This is the first picture I snapped while I was fussing with the question of "flash or no flash?"

but I had to share the priceless look on Emme's face:)

Ben could have watched the train until his face stayed numb with a smile

and the cold could not have taken me from this moment

in a little Rockwell painting

for a spot of time....
