When we unwrapped the coat and hat from Aunt Jo and Uncle Joe for Cassidy's birthday, I said I could just picture her wearing it on a Christmastime shopping excursion in downtown Petoskey with the snow gently falling. I had it pictured in my mind and today it happened just like I imagined! We had lunch in Charlevoix and then drove up to Petoskey. The downtown streets were decorated beautifully for Christmas and we strolled in and out of our favorite stores all afternoon. I'm not exaggerating when I say that dozens of people commented on how cute, adorable, gorgeous, beautiful our girl looked in her special coat and hat. One man said, "Just like out of Dickens!" while another woman commented, "She looks like a movie star!" It sure was fun seeing all the attention she got and how happy people seemed to be just watching her. Most of the day she insisted on walking along hand in hand with mommy or daddy but some of the time she was in her stroller.
Travis was all snuggled in his Bjorn with Daddy.

We warmed up with coffee at Roast and Toast and shared a cinnamon roll. Cassidy had more than her fair share of it though!

The fish tank at Horizon Books was a huge hit. I had to literally drag her out of there, swinging her by her arms to distract her. She was NOT going to leave those fishies! I think a little fishbowl in her room might make a good Christmas gift.
Yes, an afternoon of Christmas shopping in Petoskey will surely be a tradition for our family! What a great day!
