Visiting with Santa

We took a trip to our wonderful Children's Museum in the weekend after Thanksgiving with Grams, Uncle Jamie, Aunt Ericka & Harrison.   While we were there, we got to visit with Santa.   Tyler was less than enthusiastic about it, but Santa knew how to handle squirmy little boys.  

Alyssa got a little one-on-one time with the big guy so that she could get her list in...

And then the kids took a ride down the big slide...

We had a lot of fun looking at the amazing Chihuly glass display.  

And one more time down the slide...

"Tree" Lighting

We've made it a family tradition to head downtown the day after Thanksgiving and watch the city turn on our 'tree' at the circle. We get a great vantage point from the roof top of Mike's office building. It's fun, the kids will tell you there are cookies (the highlight of the night for them) and a great way to kick off the holidays...
