Tubas for Christmas

Once again we made the trip to the Inner Harbor for Merry Tuba Christmas. Once again the kids were greeted by many odd Santas, given too much candy, and got too tired of standing for us to stay for the entire concert. It was cold, even though we were well bundled, even though we had bought two lovely hot chocolates to share. The music was lovely, though.
Here is Jim's best shot of the tubas here in Baltimore:








And here is Jamie with "gas-mask Santa" (sorry it is blurry, it's hard to take photos with gloves on):

This Santa asked if our kids had been bad or good, and almost immediately Jamie head-butted Jim in the stomach. Dot received a piece of candy, and Jamie received a yo-yo for his bad act... but his happiness was short lived - Santa took the yo-yo back, telling us it was broken, and poor Jamie had to be content with a piece of candy.
