For the fourth Christmas in a row, we went to Powell Gardens for "Breakfast with Santa." We can not say how enjoyable this annual outing is for us. We again were able to go on a weekday and were the only family there! Santa rode with the boys on the train, took them around the solarium showing them all the 12 days of Christmas motif. Mrs. Claus read to the boys, and the wonderful volunteer was enourmously patient with the boys, showing them how to make reindeer out of their hand prints.

As always, the water in the solarium was a huge draw!!! They had "seven swans a swimming" this year.

Kye made sure Santa saw all the hidden drummers.

We highly recommend the short drive to Powell Gardens if you live in the KC area. It is a wonderful time for our family!
