A few days before Christmas, Makee, the kids and I went to Macy's in Minneapolis and had breakfast with Santa himself! It's one of our favorite holiday traditions! The good little boys and girls get a yummy breakfast while Santa visits each table and talks with the kids about what they want for Christmas. Ms. Claus does face painting and the elves make balloon antlers. Afterwards we go down to the 8th floor of Macy's to their Christmas display- this year it was "A Day in the Life of an Elf". The kids love walking through the life-size storybook! (Makee and I love keeping track of 3 crazy kids on a Santa-high, while maneuvering between crowds of other families getting into the Christmas spirit!)
Kylyn opted for the glittery snowflake face paint this year, instead of the red Rudolph nose. Good choice honey!
After receiving her honorary antlers, Brielle declared that she was "Ruby", Santa's lead GIRL reindeer - taking the place of Rudolph this year!
What is on my head?!
Santa finally arrives at our table. (Not quite as convincing as last year... those frosted eyebrows look mighty suspicious?! Since when is Santa an olive-skinned brunette in his early 30's?)
We're missing one... Merek wasn't doing the whole sit-on-Santa's-knee thing this year! He had flashbacks of last year and decided to watch reluctantly from Makee's knee. It felt much safer there.
2008 flashback!
