Christmas Eve

SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN: Merry Christmas Eve. We've taken our show on the road. Right now all of MPA's student body and faculty are visiting family for the holidays, first stop, Vancouver, USA.

In the meantime, I'm finally getting around to posting some photos from our Space Needle Santa visit last Friday afternoon.

Space Needle Santa is super cool. He has a red rocket and a snazzy Santa space suit!

After the Santa visit, the kids moved to the cookie decorating station. There, they covered some rocket shaped sugar cookies with icing and a half ton of sprinkles. 

The rockets were consumed immediately. 

Naturally, the kids had to check out the observation deck. We were so lucky, not only was it sunny, but it wasn't windy. Weather wise, this visit in December turned out  to me nicer than many of our summertime visits!

CJ spent quite a bit of time using a telescope to check out the surrounds.

Annabelle was more interested in examining CJ, apparently. 

Now, we're checking Santa's progress 'round the globe via NORAD and looking forward to ripping into some presents in a bit. 

Merry merry to you and yours!
