The Rest Of The Street

Here's the rest of our street at night....now there's only one house on the street without decorations. You can't see our two neighbors to the left in this one.



Here are the others to the left...Savy has to go visit Suzie's reindeer every time we go outside.




Savy stayed inside while I was taking these pics. Apparently, Jon called my cell phone while I was out there, and Savy actually answered it. She was talking to him when I came back in....we thought that was funny.

We didn't do much else today; it's my week to work. I did go to the gym when Jon got home, but that's about it.

Christmas Decorations

We finally got around to decorating outside. Jon was ambitious this year....this is really the first year we've ever done more than just put up a tree. We were one of only two houses on the street without some sort of yard decor, so we thought we should participate. Here's a view of the front of the house.

A close-up of the dining room window...I guess I should take my hummingbird feeder down for the winter.


I might take pics of the whole street tomorrow night. It is completely lit up most nights. Everyone has some sort of lights, lighted reindeer, or inflated snowglobes.

Mimi's Visit

We met Mom in Cordova this morning for shopping and lunch. Savy was so excited on the way...she adores her Mimi. We had an excellent shopping day, and Mom found everything on her list. We also found two Melissa & Doug toys that I've been wanting to get for Savy. Mom got both of them for her...she let her have one now and will wrap the other for Christmas. We had lunch at Red Robin which is Savy's favorite restaurant. She was pretty good, but she wouldn't leave this plant alone.



Then she got an attitude when we made her stop playing with it.



She doesn't like being in trouble, so she distracted us by saying she had a boo-boo...here's Mimi kissing it to make it better.



Then she pretended she was a doggie and ate M&Ms out of Mimi's hand.



It was a great day! Savy napped all the way home and has been in a great mood all afternoon.

Hey Santa

Savy went to see Santa today, and Mrs. Claus was there too. She sat quietly and smiled for the camera, and Santa rewarded her with candy afterward. These are the three pics. The last one is messed up for some reason....they were sitting together and reading a book. I had to crop the bottom off, so you can't see the book.






I'm glad Savy isn't afraid of Santa like I was when I was young....every Santa photo has my mom standing beside Santa and holding me.
