After the girls & the grandkids left, we decided to take a quick trip to LONDON!!!

As I was posting our new picture with "Father Christmas", I thought I should post the old one too. It was taken about 11 years ago. Madison was almost 2 years old then. We have all changed a bit since then, but so has Father Christmas!
One of the first stops in London was "Harrods" department store. We had to go see "Father Christmas" again. He was so cute! Madison wasn't too afraid of him this time.

After taking our picture with him, we went to the toy department. It was crazy! Madison had to have a picture with the biggest stuffed animal ever! We spent the whole day at Harrods, and I bet we still didn't see everything. It was amazing! Super fun day!

Outside Buckingham Palace...


Queen Victoria's Memorial outside the gates of Buckingham Palace...

We went on a tour of the "Tower of London." Here are a few pictures from the day....
Wakefield Tower
Random cool door in the tower...
Byward Tower
Posing with the Tower's Yeoman Warder...
Outside Waterloo Barracks...
"Waterloo Barracks" is where they keep the Crown Jewels. It was like walking into a bank vault.
"White Tower" is where all the armor and weapons are stored...
Traitor's Gate...
London Bridge...

Trafalgar Square...


London pigeon...
This was the biggest bottle of champagne I have ever seen! I had to take a picture of it.
