After experiencing Witches tea at the Grand America, we knew we wanted to take our boys to Christmas tea with Santa, and it did not disappoint.
Our view was of this gorgeous Christmas tree while it gently snowed. Seriously Christmas snow globe moment.
I wasn't sure what the boys would think of the whole "high tea" thing, in fact I had visions of them throwing tea cups and saucers, but they actually did really well and totally went with it.
Yummy whipped cream.
I was impressed that the boys all tried the "different" foods. The Grand America did provide some very fancy peanut butter and jelly for those who were picky (cough cough McKay and Lincoln).
Hunter insisted on having herbal tea like me. The rest of the boys and Josh all got the delicious hot chocolate. I humored him and little did he know he would love it, and now asks me to make it for him all of the time.
In the middle of the tea Santa arrived!!
Lincoln got to go up an help ring bells while the kids sang songs.
I wasn't sure what the kids would think of visiting Santa, but they were all good sports (and I think were way into it).

After all of the kids got to see Santa, he read a story with them. At first Palmer wasn't going to have anything to do with it, but as you can see, he sneaked up there and listened.
Once it was over, we checked out the decorations of The Grand America.
We also did the window scavenger hunt. The windows were so cute and each window had a question the kids had to answer.
The scavenger hunt ended up at this huge real gingerbread house. It was so amazing! The kids also got a treat for finishing.
This year was another successful staycation.
