Yesterday we had an adventure downtown to the LS Ayres Tea Room now located at The State Museum. When Grayson got out of school yesterday, Grandma went with me to pick him up so we could begin our holiday tradition! We were ready to eat for certain and have some yummy food from the Tea Room. I love all the giant snow flakes at the museum and the decorated Christmas Trees all throughout the museum. We love the giant toy soldiers and the display window on the second floor decorated like the LS Ayres display windows used to look when I was young and Grandma.
After our lunch we headed over to the train ride through the North Pole where we met Raggedy Ann and she gave us some very pretty snow flakes. The boys blew their whistles from the Tea Room during the train ride. After we had arrived at The North Pole, we went to Santa's house where we met him and Mrs. Claus. We got some funny pictures of the boys. Poor Rogan was getting tired. He's such an early riser and is used to having his nap. After visiting with Santa, we went down to pick out special ornaments to take home to put on the tree in the gift shop.
We certainly enjoy our Tea Room tradition with Grandma and feel so very fortunate to be able to create such wonderful memories with her. Grandma Lyons used to go when she was a young girl with Great Grandma Callaway so it is so special to be able to carry on the tradition with my boys! I enjoy myself getting to ride the train! The boys and I also made our traditional holiday sugar cookies. They are such good cookie cutters and wonderful decorators! We leave our special cookies out for Santa also but we always have to make a batch on Christmas Eve for him and sprinkle reindeer food on the front lawn. Merry Christmas as the days get even closer!! Only 10 more days left!
