Santa (and other fun December things)



We went to visit Santa this week - and Taylor did exactly as we had expected. :-)  When in unfamiliar situations, her most common response is to become very quiet, and simply watch what is going on around her. When she had her "school" pictures taken at daycare, she simply sat and stared, with a few little grins, and her visit with Santa was quite the same! We managed to capture a few little smiles, but her eyebrows gave away her slight uncertainty about this man with a white beard.

Getting ready to leave...

Sitting on Santa's lap! (I wonder, if Taylor could talk, what she would wish for this Christmas... :-))





It was a fun weekday outing!! :-)

December has been rather busy so far on the weekends. Last weekend we had a special visitor on Friday night! My grandpa flew up from the warm south to visit us in the cold north for a few days. My parents and uncle came up to visit as well!


Taylor did really well during our dinner out together - of course she will sit almost anywhere when there are yummy sweet potato puffs involved! :-)


We also celebrated graduation on Saturday - "uncle" Chris and "aunt" Liz graduated from college, and Taylor and I joined the crowd for dinner out afterward.

At this stage she seems to be doing really well with eating out! She has finally taken to a high chair a bit better (when she was younger, she wanted NOTHING to do with being strapped in a high chair). So excited!


And lastly, the big news in the Slagh household this week was Ryan's completion of his master's degree! I am very proud of him for being so dedicated and making it through all his classes! It was all online, so he had to be very self-motivated. Good job, Ry!!
For celebration, we got together with some friends for a surprise dinner out. :-)





Ten days until Christmas!! :-D
