Classic Christmas!

Rach invited me to join her and J&K at the Coca-Cola Classic Christmas event at Remington Park last Friday!  Here's our lovely group pic with Santa (which we paid freaking $30 for bc they wouldn't take one with my phone - I'm so glad Disney doesn't make that so difficult).

Full photo:

The Miss K wanted a caricature sketch... Rach watched closely as she's trying to learn how to do these.  This guy got this done and colored in about 7-8 minutes! #impressive

Jace (always a little too loud):  Bro, her hair is blonde and he's using brown!

Annoyed Rach:  She changed her hair color!!!

Me:  Yeah, it's definitely brown now.

Jace (literally looking at Kyndal this whole time):  Oh yeah, I forgot! lolol

* * *

Rach:  "The polar bear is animatronic, like the Chuck E. Cheese band."

Jace (after watching for a minute):  "Dude, that's a person in a costume!!"

(...Bear proceeds to do multiple fun poses with people...)

Me:  Yeah, pretty sure Jace is right on this one!

Rach:  Hmm, it seems animatronic as hell to me! lol

(She actually asked the photographer working there and he looked at her like she was insane. lolol)

We got three rounds on this ice slide... really fun and kinda tame compared to what I expected after signing an online waiver that covered paralysis and death. #yikes

K and Rach ready for round 2 on the slide!  Carrying our tubes up the stairs brought back memories of White Water Bay for me and Rach!

Jaceman came in a t-shirt assuming he'd be totally fine, then promptly had Rach buy him a Coca-Cola hoodie when they got there!  Mess! lol

In line to meet Santa... we decided Jace and Rach should have a gangsta vibe on the naughty side whilst me and Kyndal Faith look angelic and happy on the Nice side! lol

Me:  Ugh, my phone's at 17 percent- this makes me so mad!

Rach:  Do you have a car charger??

Me:  Yes... otherwise, I wouldn't know how to get home!

Rach (who has a fantastic sense of direction):  Oh wow, that must be scary!

Me:  Nooo, that's just... my whole life.  Navigation is my friend! lol
(Fortunately, I sat in the parking lot making a slideshow until it was back up to 63 percent! lol)

Jace (randomly excited about all the light displays):  Look at this over here!

Kyndal (making fun of him):  Oh, yay roooomance!

...then she immediately walks under it and does a snappy heart-hands pose! lolol

I adore her!  They're at really fun ages right now!

I didn't think we were seeable enough sitting back, so I made us lean into the windows! lol  I love it!!

Yay for fun Christmas lights and Christmas music and Christmas clothes... and $7 hot chocolates that the kids both had one drink of and decided they didn't like. lol  I need a warm winter hat for my NYC trip - I have my eye on one at Amber Marie, but if that doesn't work out, I'll be borrowing yet another thing from Rach! lol

Warming up by the fire... although I stayed pretty warm all night in my coat and Christmas scarf! 

Thanks to Rach for the invite - a fun way to kick of the Christmas season and celebrate T-Swift's bday on Friday the 13th! lol  It was a festive night full of Christmas cheer and fun times with Rach and the niece and nephew!! ❤

Slideshow recap... (this is the shortened version bc Youtube blocks this song on any video longer than 60 seconds - lame).

At least 2 more posts coming today... Christmas season is the freaking best!
