Kate's First Happy Meal


Kate had her first McDonald's Happy Meal last weekend. It was an impromptu visit, as I hadn't packed her lunch for our outing--but she sure enjoyed her Chicken McNuggets and fries. More than that, she enjoyed sitting in a McDonald's highchair next to Anna-Claire.


Aren't those trays cute? Johnny just loved them--he said they reminded him of the McDonald's of our youth. :o)


Anna-Claire liked the trays, too. She kept pointing to all of the characters.


The girls had fun playing with this placemat.


A-C is not big on chicken nuggets, but she sure loves the fries.


Kate shares a fry with her cousin.


What a happy meal! Kate's toy is already in a shoe box for Operation Christmas Child.

Do you all remember the McDonald's coloring calendars that came out each year back in the day? Oh, we *loved* those when we were growing up. My Mom always bought a bunch each year, and we often gave them as gifts. I saw a vintage one over at Steve and Holly's last year, and I was so jealous. ;o)

We also had the McDonald's glasses with the different characters as well as the plates (the old-school ones). Each of us had a different season as our personal plate. Cindy's was Winter, Robin's was Summer, mine was Spring, and Johnny's was Fall. Oh, what fun McDonald's memories!

  1. Now that she has had her first Happy Meal experience at Mickey D's she will be able to spot those Golden Arches a mile away! You'll soon forget what a real hamburger taste like! :) Great McDonald's memories- thanks for sharing. Kate and Anna-Claire look adorable.
