Santa visit

We visited Santa today for a McMenamin's Breakfast with Santa at the Crystal Ballroom (where we got married).  Tegan was less than happy to see Santa, but enjoyed the breakfast!

Thanksgiving

and for the heck of it, a flashback from last year at this time:

Tihar

Laxmi Puja

Learning to color

Tonight

Tegan scooped up an armful of cloth diapers, waved goodbye to grandma JoJo and gave her a big air kiss.  Again and again.  Once in awhile in between she'd race from one side of the room to the other.  Finally, she climbed into my lap, laid her head down and crashed.

Feeding cheerios to her friend

Can't wait to try it out!

She hugs and kisses this doll every time she picks it up - so cute!
