Santa's Supper

"Grumpa" Ken Hatch with Cutter and the Carolers

Once again this year, the Rainier Club did a spectacular job of producing their inimitable Santa's Supper on Sunday evening.  Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer greeted us in the parking lot and we entered the Club to the sweet sounds of carolers singing.  Cutter, who was happy to see "Grumpa" was mesmerized by the carolers.

The children were all scrubbed and dressed in their holiday best and were excited by the many activities in which to participate including photos with Santa, decorating sugar cookies, watching a magician, making s'mores in the Rainier Room, holiday craft projects, balloon animals, fighting with balloon swords, visiting their own separate child-size buffet area, and the separate sweets table.  

We saw lots of friends at the club attending with their children and grandchildren including Betty Tong along with daughters Audrey and Caroline, Theresa Dowell & Greg Jones with daughter, Jeannine, Dan Ederer and Chris Martin, both with their wives and respective children, Carol & Spike Anderson, Joyce & Doug McCallum, Suzy & Moe Krabbe, Annette & Bob Parks all attending along with their children and grandchildren.

What a wonderful party!  Attending with Ken and me this year were my daughter and son-in-law, Katie & Kevin Laramore and their beautiful young sons, Cutter and Boden.  This was Cutter's second Santa's Supper and Boden's first.  We all look forward to attending again next year and hope that Alicia & Michael Hatch and their sons Jackson, Spencer and Andrew will be able to attend too!
