Our Visit to Santa

We went to the big Macy's (formally Marshall Fields, formally Daytons) to see the Christmas display. While we were there, we got to talk to Santa. It was awesome! Santa, if you are reading this, Evie still wants a marble toy and Annalise wants her own room. Us with Santa--although, he was a little on the thin side. We'll leave him 2 cookies on Christmas Eve. By the way, Hank and Oliver, this picture shows that you don't outgrow getting dressed up funny as you get older. Evie is sporting her snowman holiday sweater and matching "long socks".
The Christmas display was the story of Mary Poppins. This is Evie and Grandma checking out one of the scenes.
Here's Evie checking out Burt's sidewalk art--maybe she will get inspired.
When Grandma was a little girl, her Grandma used to take her shopping and bought her candy at the department store. So Evie got to partake in the tradition and walked away from the candy counter with a bag of gummy bears.
When we got home, there was a package for Evie and Annalise. Actually, it was a present for Annalise, but Evie got the exciting box and air pillows.
