Adventuring!
Just got back from having lunch and going to see the Eaton's Fairytale Vignettes at the Children's Museum with my Grandma. The outing was my Christmas gift to her, since I figured the best thing to do was to spend some quality time together instead of trying to buy something for her.
The Vignettes were actually some of the old Christmas window decorations that used to be on display at Eaton's, years ago. When I saw the advert, I immediately thought of my Grandma, who used to work downtown, and figured she might like to go see them. It was a much smaller display than I was expecting, but it was lovely to go see, and I even discovered a couple fairytales I hadn't know about until then (The Owl and the Pussycat, and The Little Match Girl).
Here's a link to the photostream at flickr if you're interested in the pictures. Not too fancy, but lovely in their simplicity. And they were all animated as well, which was fun even if it was just small movements. My favourite display was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, with all the dwarfs in their wee beds and their wee blankets.
All in all, a fantastic day! It was nice to finally spend some one-on-one time with my Grandma. :)
