Santa Supper at the Rainier Club

This afternoon we attended the Santa Supper at The Rainier Club.  The Rainier Club was packed throughout with hundreds of people there celebrating the season with their families.  In addition to visiting Santa, there were dozens of activities for young children and their families including face painting, balloon animals, holiday tattoos, decorating sugar cookies, making s’mores, etc.

We joined the Gary & Susan Neumann family at a table in the Burke Room.  Joining them was their daughter, Katherine and husband Cory and sons Benjamin and Henry.  At other tables were friends, Dave & Trudi Syferd and family, Carol & Spike Anderson and family, Nancy & Van Strom and family, Doug & Joyce McCallum and family and others.  Joining Ken and me were family members Michael & Alicia Hatch and their two sons, Jackson and Spencer and Katie & Kevin Laramore and their son, Cutter.

For their first Christmas, Santa was definitely not a hit with either Spencer (8 months) or Cutter (5 months)!  Jackson, at 2-1/2 years was quite pleased to tell Santa what he wants for Christmas though and wasn’t the least bit afraid.  Following a beautiful buffet supper with an extensive dessert buffet, everyone went home “with visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads”.
