Santa Land!

Another moment unplanned, but seized in our Portland trip after Thanksgiving. As a child, Meier and Frank(now Macy's) downtown would convert the entire top floor into a magical childhood fantasty Santa Land, including a train ride AT THE CEILING! It was fantastic. Sadly, they moved Santa Land down to the basement and do not have the train ride anymore. They still have fun decorations and a wonderful Santa with a real beard(just ask Ashley she grabbed ahold, tugged, and didn't let go!), and a toy train in a display area. They do have some of the old train cars for the kids to climb on as parents wait for their photos to print. I am SO glad my dad ended up coming along. With his help I was able to document the day like would prefer and it was actually FUN, no stress involved. THANKS DAD! For your help and your company. I did sacrifice my Nikon and just took the point and shoot, but with it, was able to get the video. I guess it evens out, right?

Notice Ashley's firm grasp on that beard? Hilarious.

I LOVE that last picture of both girls with Santa. Adorable. I wish we had something even remotely that cool up here...I guess without having to drive all the way to North Pole. Hailey had a great time watching the videos.
