There was a Breakfast with Santa and a Family Pajama Party on Saturday (November 17, 2019). Sunday’s schedule included a Princess Tea Party, Star Wars Lunch and an Art Party.
(Some children at Sunday’s McDonald’s Star Wars Lunch get a lightsaber lesson from Princess Leia. You can click on the photo to enlarge it.)
