Thanksgiving and Santa!

We had a lovely Thanksgiving at home this year. Juan did the turkey again and it was as equally delicious as his first turkey last year. He is becoming quite the chef. We had a couple friends over and had a great time chatting and stuffing ourselves. And now the holidays officially begin!

 I did a photo shoot with the girls in the morning.

 The girls are acting out Slippery Fish here. It is a song we learned at music group and Maya manages to get a few actions in too! So fun.

 One happy, one sad.

 Maya's first Thanksgiving! She is just the cutest.

 Our Family Thanksgiving 2012

We had the best day together on Friday. In the morning we went and saw Finding Nemo at the budget theaters. Then in the evening we headed out to Georgetown to see their lighting of the town square, and to see Santa! Last year we were unsuccessful with Santa, Amelia would not go near him and never let me pass her off to sit in his lap. I was very disappointed. So this year we prepped her. She was excited to tell him what she wanted for Christmas. And she was also old enough to be bribed this year, she got chocolate chips when we got home for smiling at the camera, haha.

 I love the Texas Santa costume. Makes sense, he doesn't need a coat and hat when it's 75 degrees outside!

 Maya was arching her back and very nervous at first. But here is proof that she was easily distracted and warmed up to him. 

And my favorite shot. Amelia is just so beautiful. And both looking at the camera, that never happens!

 So excited for these next few weeks! Many more holiday activities to come from us.
