Lunch at the Olive Garden...

Is lunch at the Olive Garden blog-worthy? Probably not, but we happened to have the camera with us, and Sara-Kate was cute, so here goes....

Sara-Kate's very first Christmas morning!

I'll be honest, she actually has been playing with her toys that she received for Christmas, but at the time she was more interested in the paper - she loves the colorful stuff - and the occasional box. She tolerated the bow in her hair, but not for long!

Christmas Eve!

We went up to Jenny and Wayne's house for Christmas Eve where we opened presents, ate good food, and listened to the The Night Before Christmas, a family tradition....

Pre-Christmas photos

We visited with the Parker family and saw Aunt Carol for the first time in ages, plus we met Cousin Cynthia and Uncle Mike as well. We also went to the Lights Before Christmas at Riverbanks Zoo, which was COLD, but fun!

Visit with Santa....

Sara-Kate had her very first visit with Santa, and there were no tears. Of course, the jolly old fellow had a few in his eyes after she grabbed in beard, but all in all, the photos went well....

Thanksgiving in Florida....

Visiting with family and friends in Florida for Thanksgiving...we had a great time!
