A Very Special Afternoon

What a treat!


Lulu was invited by her friend, K,
to the St. Regis Hotel...
to have tea with Santa.

First, there was the incredibly impressive
Gingerbear House.
Made from :
800 eggs, 350 pounds of sugar, 1000 pounds of flour, 400 pounds of icing
and took 500+ hours to create.

Next was tea, hot chocolate and sweet treats.
(Which is what the girls started with first!)

And then there was the anticipation...

for you-know-who.


Yep, he stopped and talked at length
with both girls.


It was quite the experience...even for this "grown-up"!


Their tree was pretty impressive, too. Gorgeous!

Favorite Photo Friday

I've been meaning to join in on
this challenge for awhile now.


And since I'll be decorating today,
I happened to remember a
couple of photos I took
(on my film SLR)
when Jack and Lulu saw a Christmas
tree for the first time.


I decided not to make any adjustments in
Photoshop as I want to present them
just as I received them. (noise and all)
