Today we celebrated Christmas early with Michael & Alicia Hatch and their sons, Jackson and Spencer in advance of their departure to Hawaii for Christmas. Following the celebration at our home, we all went to the Rainier Club for the annual Santa's Supper and were joined by Katie & Kevin Laramore and their son, Cutter. All three boys wore matching outfits to Santa's Supper and were fascinated with the life-size Snowman, Penguin and Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer characters that were roaming the club. Santa Claus was not quite as popular with Cutter, though Jackson and Spencer were happy to sit on Santa's knee and have their photo taken. Other activities included a major buffet for adults and children, balloon animals, decorating Christmas cookies, henna tattoos, facepainting, lip reading, s'mores in the giant fireplace in the Rainier Room and arts and crafts.

We saw many friends and their children at this fun, family event including Kathleen & Tom Schafer, Trudi & Dave Syferd, Susan & Gary Neumann, Carol & Spike Anderson, Suzy & Moe Krabbe, Joyce & Doug McCallum, Annette & Bob Parks, Bill Knudsen, plus a score of others. It was actually bedlam with all the children screaming and running everywhere and their parents and grandparents chasing them, but it definitely gets me in the holiday spirit!
