Main Street St. Charles

I've been wanting to check out Main Street St. Charles at Christmas for the last few years.  It seems like something always came up on the weekends before Christmas and we never made it out there.  This year, Scott had to drop off the car for Michelle on Sunday at the restaurant she works at (Bella Vino on Main Street - AMAZING! (shameless plug)). 

So we parked the car and picked up a couple lattes and walked down to the restaurant.  We were greeted by people from all time periods with costumes and accents.  It was very cool to see the street performers up and down the street.  Gabe was complimented by a couple of them for his cuteness (duh) and his amazingly blue eyes (duh). 

We hung out at the restaurant for a while, our second time there in 3 days (it's good!).  We were told a parade was about to start, but we never saw it.   Scott was exhausted from running in the Hot Chocolate 15K (in 20 degree weather) that morning and Gabe was ready for a nap.

We did pass the Christmas tree and took a couple selfie/family pics before making it home.
