It is so much fun for Andy and I to notice all the little things that Sarah does that we think are just precious as she begins to speak and understand so much more each day.
At the Meridian Hills Country Club Family Christmas Party, we had such a wonderful time with family! There were all sorts of activities; including getting your photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus, a live reindeer and a carriage ride around the grounds. When Sarah and I first got there, there was no line to see Santa so we went up to Santa and Mrs. Claus. I asked Sarah if she wanted to sit on Santa's lap, and she said "NO!" and clung tigher to my arm. So, no photo with Santa. We tried after we had some yummy dinner buffet when Andy got there with my parents (who made it safely with not too much delay flying in from Washington D.C.). As soon as we got close to Santa, she held onto Andy tightly saying "no, no, no." So, we thought we try a carriage ride. On the way to the carriage ride, there was a reindeer in the lobby. At first, Sarah called out doggy but as she got closer she saw the antler and was a little hesistant but did want to go pet the reindeer with Uncle Dick & Andy. The highlight of the evening by far was the carriage ride. It was so beautiful with the 4 inches of snow on the ground and then light flurries. We all bundled up and had so much fun. Sarah loved it. Uncle Dick came to on the carriage ride. She wanted to go again!! I think for her birthday, we'll have to go on a family carriage ride around the Circle!
When we came back from the family christmas party, we tracked some snow in the house. Sarah kept pointing to the snow on the rug by the door saying "oh-no!, oh-no!" She loves her "oh-no's" when something spills on her shirt or pants she'll point to it and say "oh-no." Also, on our first floor, if the powder room door is open or cracked, she'll just walk by and be sure that it is closed since we keep it closed most of the time.
She had so much fun at Mass Ave Toy store on Saturday and then lunch at Bazbeaux with Mommy & Daddy. It was a very fun family activities for all three of us and a special day. Sarah loved going to Mass Ave. Toys because most all the toys are out and can be played with. She spent the most time in the baby doll and doll house section. She loved the baby dolls and the high chair and baby bed and then would go play with the doll house. She also loved the "real" shopping cart just her size. It was easy to get a few last minute ideas for her christmas:-) Lunch was so much fun too! It was such a delightful weekend!!!
