Jerilee gifted our family an experience this year, which is SO wonderful!! We love some good gifts in boxes, don’t get me wrong, but being able to go somewhere and do something is also excellent, because not only does it make a memory, but I also don’t have to find a home for anything. Lol! I had mourned to Jerilee how badly I wanted to take my kids to a new event in the city – Glow Saskatoon – but couldn’t swing it financially this year. She JUMPED and fought past my ego to take my family. She even got tickets for herself, my mom and Cher, because they, too, are our family. I’ve been eagerly awaiting this day!
So yesterday, we went! It was FREEZING but we made our way in and waited int the entrance until everyone was assembled. Sadly, on the morning of Glow, my mom called, and had to back out of our Christmas date. She was SO sick, sounded SO bad, and was in the thick of the super duper contagious part. In an effort not to spread her sickness to others, she opted to stay home. She was truly missed.
Still, the show had to go on. So we piled into Hall D at Prairieland and were immediately both dazzled and super overstimulated! Hahaha!
I’m not going to be able to caption everything AT ALL, but what I can tell you is that is was 110% worth the money to be there 🙂 ALL of us had a blast, not just the kids.
There was a game for the kids to play, to find all the people with the stamps, and once they got ALL the stamps, they got a candy cane. There were SO many photo opps. There were princesses to take pictures with and Santa to chat with. There were, of course, things to buy, which we bypassed, but no one missed them. Most importantly, there were so many lights, so much room to run, and a big ole playground.
It. Was. Awesome.
Some kids were more keen on photo opps than others, so dont judge me for not having as many pictures of some of the kids! I did my best! Some just NEVER stop moving!
I wanted one picture of me and all of the most important ladies in my life. Its missing a VERY important member, but I’d say it still turned out 🙂
I also I really wanted a family picture. It was a labour of love, but isn’t that what family is?
I dont think we could’ve had more fun. I am SO thrilled we got to go after all, and so grateful to Jerilee for taking my entire family on a Christmas date! We loved it!
I hope Glow comes back next year!!
