Sweet Silhouettes

I took Eva and Stella to the Cameron Village Christmas celebration a few weeks ago and had a wonderful evening with the girls! CV does a fantastic job with this event and has everything including visits with Santa + Mrs. Claus, balloon twisting, free popcorn, cookies and cider, sledding, a life-sized Candyland game and more!

While we were waiting for our turn to see Santa, I was admiring silhouette artist, Lena Bengtson, studying her subjects' faces and intricately cutting tiny pieces of paper to look like the children. I was so amazed and impressed, I just had to get one of the girls...after our visit with Santa, of course!

As this is a very popular local event, we ran into plenty of friends, which made it fun. Eva had a blast sledding, while Stella decided to stay back and just cheer for Eva instead ;) They both loved all the free tasty treats, especially the popcorn. Lastly, after working up the nerve to talk to Santa, Stella told him that she would like cotton candy for Christmas and Eva requested a stuffed Lotso Bear, from Toy Story 3. What a great night!
