Today we went to have breakfast with Santa at the Franklin Park Conservatory. It was magical! The food was a very good buffet (the orange chocolate scones and peppermint rimmed glasses of hot chocolate were the highlights). K ate everything on my plate and R ate two strawberries and 2 cookies that she decorated. Oh well, I guess we know we get our monies worth for K when buying a buffet. We sat with our friend S and her mom. And another family, that family had a little girl the same age as R and a little boy the same age as K, with the same name!! I thought we picked something unique. After a delicious breakfast, cookie decorating and coloring - we went into the conservatory and sat with Santa. He walked around the room earlier, but this was our chance to take photos and tell Santa what is on the list this year. R, of course, said "doc mcstuffins" and she said that K wanted a green dinosaur from Toy Story (which is what she is giving to him). K tried out the big man's chair before he sat down. Both kids sat with Santa with no hesitation, but K actually lunged for him which surprised even Santa (he is obviously not familiar with K's preference for grandpa like men). K also tried to climb into all of the beautiful plant arrangements, oh little guy. This was great fun and a family tradition we will continue for years to come.
