We were thrilled to attend the 2nd Annual Santa’s Secret Workshop Presented by everyone's favorite "Guncles", Bill Horn and Scout Masterson, at the Andaz Hotel in West Hollywood on Saturday, Dec 1st. The event kicked off Hollywood’s holiday season by bringing celebrities, families and VIPs together for a day of family fun. Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott made their first apperance together as a family of four with baby Finn - I remember seeing them last year with baby Hattie.

HP once again hosted the ultimate photo studio where a professional photographer captured families with Santa Claus. Snapfish.com was on hand with computer stations for guests to create their own cards. Jo-Ann Fabrics and Crafts was also there creating crafts for children of all ages.
Mom.me hosted a “ME Lounge” for parents that featured relaxing manicures and a personalized, create-your-own scent bar. While in the adjoining “Little ME Lounge” the children enjoyed kids’ nail bar, glitter tattoos, play time activities and cookie decorating with dessert-ista, Jenny Cookies. (the best desserts EVER).
We had a blast creating holiday frames next to Kaitlin Olson & Rob McElhenney from one of my favorite shows, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and watching Ian Ziering help his adorable daughter with her frame and flower rings.

In the giving spirit of the holidays, the event benefitted L.A. Family Housing, whose mission is to help families transition out of homelessness and poverty through a continuum of housing enriched with supportive services. The guests of the party all donated diapers which they always need, but there are lots of ways to help this organization.
