This morning we went to the Museum of Science and Industry for its annual members' breakfast to light the tree and kick off the holiday season. We enjoyed a buffet of fruit, cinnamon rolls, pancakes, sausages, bacon, eggs and breakfast potatoes. The main tree is decorated like Whoville from the Dr. Seuss story since the museum has a
display about him now. We even had the Grinch get in this picture of the kids in front of the main tree.
This is the 70th Christmas Around the World celebration at the museum. It's pretty neat to walk around and see the trees decorated for the various countries. E was pretty fascinated with the Japanese tree. I always think the Germany tree looks best because it's most like a traditional Christmas tree, but this year the England tree with its Prince William and Kate's wedding certainly caught my eye.
After looking at the trees, we toured the museum's
Smart Home and saw an Omnimax movie about the construction of the the Canadian Pacific Railroad. Then we went to Pizzeria Due for a late lunch. It was the first time we've sat on the second-floor balcony. Fortunately, it was closed in with plastic windows and it had some heat lamps. It was pretty comfortable temperaturewise and a great place to sit and watch the shoppers pass by.
We had a hour or so to relax before heading to church for its annual Thankoffering potluck turkey dinner. We didn't eat too much there. We were pretty stuffed.
