Meet and Greet (Nov / Dec 2010)

December has always been a busy month for most people, guess it's even more so for the parents bringing their kids to meet their favourite characters in the malls.

1) Strawberry Shortcake

This is the 1st performance that my darlings went to.  They were not very excited (partly cos' Mummy did not accompany them to sit in front of the stage) and they were not used to the loud music from the speaker and screaming/shouting by other kids (see my Sweetie covering her ears in the photo).  They only brightened up when the place was filled with bubbles towards the end of the show.  

2) Elmo
We dropped by Plaza Singapura after knowing Sesame Street Characters are in town and my darlings were happy to see "Elmo".  We were there just in time for the performance, but my darlings were equally happy to watch the performance on the 2nd storey (near to Mummy).  After that, we had a relaxing moment in the Family Lounge of the mall after shopping.

3) Dora

We went to the Volkswagen open house to see Dora (haha... of course it's the cars for Daddy).  We spent the whole afternoon there, as the place was full of of fun-filled activities for kids.  Haha... not to mention about an hour's queue for the special balloon sculptures (cos' more sophisticated design = longer queueing time).  Hee.. we were smart to get Daddy to queue up while we went to the "Meet and Greet with Dora".  My Sweetie was very lucky to win the Diego's Bedsheet/Comforter Set and they also got the chance to hold Dora's hand and took photo with the mascot.  Most of all, they love their beautiful balloon princesses.

4) Hi-5

This is the only performance that we had watched twice cos' my darlings love the Hi-5 characters who have been tagged to each of us at home.  My darlings managed to do a hi-5 with some of the Hi-5 members and my Cutie told me that their hands are not furry, unlike Dora (hahaha... because the mascots and TV characters that they had met, ALL of them have furry hands).  As she had often been quite advanced for her age, Mummy had almost forgotten that she is still only 4 years old. 

After the show, when we were shopping at the merchandise area near the stage, my darlings was lucky to be able to do another round of hi-5 with "Casey" and "Stevie" (as we were really caught by surprise and thus only managed to snap this photo after the moment).  Later in the night, we bumped into both "Casey" and "Stevie" again at Suntec City again (hee... guess they were out for supper).  What a small world.

5) Thomas the train @ Millenia / Pokemon @ Tampines / Toy Story @ Parkway Parade

We didn't go to the Meet and Greet for the above events, we only took photo with the static display while shopping at the malls.  My darlings were very happy to have the Pokemon bags and also a Toy Story mug, which comes with some purchases.  They also had a great time playing at the outdoor Toy Story theme playground @ Parkway Parade.

December is the month of fun and shopping for us.  Yeah.
