Henry was a little unsure of greeting this jolly old man. It took 3 attempts before he would sit on the chair next to him. He'd get close and then turn away hiding into me. So I'd let another family go past, then we'd try again...same thing. Eventually I think he wanted the take home toy so badly from Mrs. Claus that he finally did it.
The girls
Henry chose a helicopter, a Police helicopter specifically. Most children donned a Rudolph, Frosty, or Christmas Tree and mine chose none of that. But he was happy as a clam.
A fun time was had. We took the metra in, followed by a taxi to Macy's. Henry took home a balloon shaped Frosty and a cute face painted cheek. We checked out the State St. windows after the breakfast, strolled thru the Christkindlmarket where I pointed out the exact spot where dad asked mom to marry him and on over to the subway train. We saw and did a lot before noon today. A great time and am already looking forward to trying it again next year.
