| Santa and Maddy |
This year we captured the obligatory Santa photo at Macy's on an icy Portland afternoon.
An ice storm created slick conditions, so Steve, Maddy and I donned our winter gear and bussed downtown rather than drive. I strapped my "yak trax" to my boots (steel traction device- like chains for your feet!) and they worked very well on the ice, so Maddy walked with me. We made our way downtown where Maddy and I had haircuts, then we all walked to a comfort-food-filled restaurant called Mother's for dinner. Happily all the ice was cleared from downtown sidewalks which made the going much easier.
After that our family trekked to Macy's Santa-land where Maddy hesitantly told Santa she wanted Calico Critters for Christmas, and sat in front of the big guy for a quick photo.
It was a successful outing and we made it home through the ice without a hitch.
