Christmas at the Penninsula

A dear friend invited the kids and I to the Penninsula in Chicago. They had lunch for the kids (champagne for the adults!), then story time and coloring with Mrs Claus and finally, cookie decorating! Santa came at the end and each child got to sit and talk to him. Isaac, of course, wanted a fire truck and Lo would not go anywhere near him. Mrs Claus held her pretty much the entire time. When Mrs Claus put her down (after seriously holding her for 20 minutes!) to pick up another child- she had a breakdown of disasterious proportions and we had to leave ASAP. It was very fun though (and very high class!).

Wow! That looks like a ton of fun. Too bad GR doesn't have anything like that. Your kids are so cute. I love Lo's dress. Yes, I can't wait for Baby Griffen either. I think my brother is getting really sick of me emailing him for updates on any type of "changes". I've predicted a December 27th birth date.
