A visit with Santa

We got up early (well, not too early), got you dressed in your adorable black and white nordic print dress with matching nordic ruffled tights and slipped your little feet into your Uggs and headed off to Santa's workshop. The wait was a little over two hours but this year we didn't have to wait in the cold since they would page us when it was time for your photo. So... mommy did a little shopping. For you, your cousins and for myself : )
When it came to be your turn you were so good! It happened to be the African American Santa on duty and he was a happy to see you! He said his Ho Ho Ho's and though you cried a few cries, you soon became comfortable and (hopefully) we got a good photo to add to our growing collection.

Later that day we went to Capital Hill and picked out the most perfect Christmas tree. You watched us while we put the lights on. In fact, you ate big time! Refried beans with veggie ground "beef" and your first love of yogurt! You couldn't stop eating it, putting your hands into the container until you were one milky, white mess. Now you are asleep and hopefully will sleep through the night though we're on the wake up at 3:30am schedule. Daddy and I are trying a bit of tough love and letting you cry it out for a bit and it seems to be working.


Precious girl. Merry early Christmas!
