The Other Reindeer

Yesterday after school, Sunny and I headed out on a mother/daughter date. I love that she is now such a little person that we can spend  meaningful time together, talking about our days, what makes us laugh (farts), what makes us scared (loud noises), and what we want for Christmas (a trampoline so we can jump as high as Uncle Ben).

We first visited Santa (pictures forthcoming from the photog staffing the event) at our favorite local children’s boutique, Shima, and then grabbed dinner next door. A meal complete with chicken tenders and fries (duh) but also lox and flat bread (she eats like a grown up now too!).

The highlight of dinner was a visit from a Reindeer dude who has been welcoming visitors to the Santa rendez-vous. As you can see, Sunny dressed for the occasion, and given her antler headband, was more than thrilled at the prospect of snapping a photo with her reindeer friend.

This weekend I’m hosting a baby shower with Kaki’s FGM for our dear friend Laura, and knitting knitting knitting while it snows snows snows. ‘Tis the season! Happy weekend to all!
