For the first time, we actually braved the crowds and took Alana to meet Santa. Last year, we were lucky enough to see Santa at church, which was great. This year, we headed down to Macy's (...Marshall Fields) on State Street. We waited for an hour plus and finally saw Santa. Alana was really nervous and blurted out "I want a Snow White doll and the Prince." It was really out of nowhere and she was clearly concerned she would not get it out! Miss Sierra stayed behind with our nanny, Natalie, since she's been a bit under the weather. Next year, though!!!
