We had brunch with Santa last weekend, and had the best time! If you live near the Sun River area, I highly recommend it. Loads of good, buffet-style brunchy munchies, and tons of the best hot cocoa ever. It’s held in a cabin-lodge setting, complete with chandeliers, Christmas music, and a roaring fire in a huge, stone fireplace. And of course, photos ops with Santa and Mrs. Clause (and Frosty, and Rudolf, if you care) are a must.

Here’s my crew and I, barely fitting into our parkas, after brunching our hearts out! I got mine and the girls coats last year from Gap, but I linked some new ones for ya, below, as well as the exact ones my boys are wearing from Old Navy. They’re by far one the best coat purchases I’ve ever made – so durable, hides all manner of dirty and grimy kid fouls, and literally pairs everything. We wear these babies OUT. And about….

Merry, merry Christmas to you, from me and my crazy crew!!
