Sesame Street Live, and more...

Alice models her New Year's Eve hat she made at school.


Then she "hams" it up for the camera.


Jaime and Alice making cupcakes. It was sort of too late to be doing this, but Jaime had just gotten off the phone with her sister who was also making cupcakes (for Zach's birthday) and Jaime said, "You don't tell a pregnant woman you're making cupcakes and then don't expect her to make her own." (or something like that)


Alice mixing.


Ready for Mommy to pour the batter in.


Tonight was Sesame Street Live. We met Joanna, Josh and Zach at the Target Center, and I dropped an silly amount of money on treats and souvenirs. Here's Alice playing with her Elmo light spinny thingy.


Bert and Ernie doing some hip-hop thing.


The whole gang.


When Elmo took the stage, it was like a rock-star was there. The kids went crazy. Alice and Zach were both screaming for him. It was awesome.


Alice making sure we don't miss any of the cool stuff.


Looking down our row.


Josh with Zach. It was Zach's 2nd birthday today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZACH!


Alice on auntie Carrie's lap. Note Alice's long(er) hair.


Bert, Ernie and Big Bird ruled.


At intermission, they carted out the Elmo balloons (which we didn't buy--yet) and cotton candy.


Zach, after trying a bite of sno-cone.


Alice, after several.


The big finish. Alice kept asking me if she could go on stage. She was pretty upset with my answer. Overall I think she had a blast. As we were leaving, she saw all the kids with balloons and started whining for a "bayoon" until I decided I didn't want to walk 15 minutes through the skyway and into the parking ramp with a screaming kid on my shoulders. So, yes, she got her bayoon, and she was pretty excited about it.


Now, a few more sno-cone pics:
