Today was a very special day. We went with Grandma to The State Museum to see Santa. Santa also brought his train! The museum was decorated so festive! My mom would take me to see Santa and ride the train when I was a little girl and then eat at the Tea Room afterwards. This was something my mom and I have wanted to do but waited until Grayson was a bit older. He and Rogan had so much fun! Grayson colored a picture on the way to see Santa. When we arrived, he ran to the train. He was so escited! He naturally, picked to red train cart. Rogan and I rode in the cart behind him. We rode through the winter wonderland to Santa's house to see him and Mrs. Claus. Both the boys sat on Santa's lap. Grayson told him what he wanted for Christmas. Gandma and I even got our picture taken with Santa with the boys!
We also were able to listen to a children's chior while we were there. Soon after, we headed over to the Tea Room for lunch. It was so nestalgic. They had on display all the old photos of the L.S. Ayres building down town along with the original china and toy box. All the tables looked the same also. Lunch was amazing! The boys loved it. Grayson had his first Shirley Temple! I use to love those! Today was as special for the boys as it was my mother and myself. We took the boys over to see the original train that we rode in when we were young and also the display window that I recall going to see each and every year on the circle!! This will be a tradition my mom and I will hopefully be able to do every year with the boys now!!
Thanks for the wonderful memories Grandma!!!
