Oh, what a Christmas...

The hotel had its 2nd annual Breakfast with Santa on Saturday. I was excited to see how Noah was going to be, he was a perfect angel! He walked right up to Santa and smiled. He loved decorating the cookies and playing with the other kids. I love the photo below of him cheezing! (sad to think 2 years in a row my son is wearing shorts during Christmas!) 45 minutes into Ike and Noah (along with about 35 other families) having fun, the hotel fire alarm goes off (of course when Ike goes down the hall to Starbucks and I am the hotel manager on duty.) I left Noah with another manager at the hotel making cookies. (its weird how i went from total mommy mode to manager mode so quick!) It was a fire on the 2nd floor of the parking garage. Most of you might have read or scene it on the news "Metairie hotel evacuates due to fire. It took 30 firemen to escort 100 guest to safety." hahahaaa...dont you love how the news embellishes? the real story is that an employee invited her cousin to attend the breakfast and her battery caught on fire. About 50 people (35 being workers of the hotel) were asked to go outside for their safety. It did take 4 firetrucks, 25 firemen, 4 chief of fire, and 1 hr 45 minutes to get it under control. The best part one of the chiefs brought fire hats and coloring books to all the kids who's Santa party was interrupted. Of course that is all Noah keeps talking about. The photo below is Noah having a "Terrible Two" moment at the hotel (but adorable!)
