The Saturday before Christmas we took the girls to the Ritz Carlton for a fun afternoon that turned out to be even better than we expected. We got to see the Gingerbread display, watch the sun set over the ocean, listen to some great stories at storytime, AND meet Santa. Yeah, I'd say it was a VERY successful outing!
One of the many gorgeous trees in the lobby.
This year's gingerbread display was an "under the sea" theme. Libby loved that it included stuff from the Little Mermaid and Finding Nemo.
Grammy was the one that tipped us off to this great event - thanks Grammy!
Amazing that the entire display is edible! Wow!
For the 5:00 storytime they had rows of pillow set out for the kids to
sit on while they listened to two Christmas stories and sang songs. It
was adorable and my girls LOVED it!
But, best of all, at the end of the stories, Santa came in through the back! Wow! Talk about a room full of excited kids - it was awesome! The girls were so excited to sit on Santa's lap and couldn't believe that the real Santa actually came.
What an awesome experience! Next year we'll dress up for the occasion, for sure! ;)
It was so fun. So cute that they are not at all afraid of Santa!
