Breakfast with Santa

Santa Claus and his reindeer are making a special trip to Cordillera Ranch just a few weeks before he and his elves get ready for the big day! He is stopping by to visit all the kiddos and ask them what they would like to get in their stockings and under the tree for Christmas! Be sure to dress in your holiday best as Santa will be taking photos with everyone. There will be singing and dancing to Christmas songs and, of course, a delicious breakfast crafted by Executive Chef Isaac Cantu and his culinary team.

Where Do You Spend Your Time?

I recently read a story retold by the father of a young family of three that included himself, his wife and their young daughter. According to his recounting, after dinner they were each challenged to share an object symbolic of how they would describe one another to a stranger. When it was the daughter’s turn to share the item she thought to be representative of her father, she produced a cell phone. At her young age, she wasn’t taking a sarcastic “shot” at her dad, rather, it was how she truly saw him when he was home.
