Last Saturday, the four of us went downtown with a plan to see Santa and eat at the Walnut Room while gazing at the beautiful Christmas Tree. Apparently, we weren't the only ones with this brilliant idea. The wait for the Walnut Room was 4 hrs. This would have put us into naptime and that wasn't a viable option if we wanted to enjoy the lunch.
So we decided to check out the line to visit Santa and then grab lunch somewhere much less crowded. :)
They told us the line for Santa would take about an hour. Bill offered to wait in the line while the girls and I ran off energy around Macy's.
What actually happened - I lost my mind trying to keep track of them with all the people and hold all of our junk. We went back to wait with Bill for what we thought was the second half hour. Turned out to be an hour and a half more! If I had known, I would have never waited in the line... but I'm glad we did.
The girls enjoyed seeing Santa. They walked right up to him and said, "We've been good."

The girls were really good and were rewarded with frango pie at Infield's. :)

They were exhausted and so were we!
We went the Tuesday after Thanksgiving mid morning and no one was there...well we waited behind 3 people. We skipped lunch under the tree...although growing up I did that every year and it's one of my favorite memories so we might have to add it next year...anyway...might be worth taking a day off work to do while everyone else is still in school! Glad you had fun and it really is a magical way to visit Santa...they certainly make waiting in line as fun as it can be! Merry Christmas!
