Well, we headed out to downtown Denver today to see Santa Claus. I did some research and found out the Santa at Larimer Square was completely free, which was a huge bonus. And two, I figured since this Santa wasn't in a mall we had a good chance of not having to wait too long.
First off, at lunch we discovered Grace likes ranch - no scratch that - LOVES ranch dressing. The waitress brought her food and had ranch with her veggies. So instead of eating the veggies (which she can't really yet anyway since it was celery and carrots and those are tough), she used her celery as a spoon to eat the ranch. And then used her spoon to eat the ranch...forget ketchup, we have a ranch lover!
We had lunch then walked over to see Santa. We had to wait about 20 minutes, but Grace was a trooper walking around in the great Colorado sunshine today. Is it really December? It was 60 here today!
Meeting Mrs. Claus...she doesn't seem so bad...
Santa though, Grace wasn't so into him....
Seriously Santa, I don't need any gifts, I'm out of here.
While she wasn't wild about Santa this year, he did give her a little rubber duck that was she was pretty excited about and showed him off up and down Larimer Square as we walked around.
And Santa, if you are reading this, no need to get Grace toys. She more or less loves boxes these days.
Happy Christmas week!
Grace is TOO cute! Kaden uses celery and carrots for spoons for his ranch too! I like to make myself feel better about his ranch consumption and say it MUST have some calcium in there somewhere!
