Saturday Night we had the Westchase Community Foundation's Santa Parade! It was a huge hit... but poor baby jack was so sleepy by the time Santa actually came down our street at 7:30 pm! Jack had fun crawling around the grass, singing Mr. Froggy songs, and snuggling with all of the his "girlfriends!" We loved visiting with all of our awesome neighbors... good times!

I know i haven't blogged in a while... so sorry it has been a CRAZY month!Two weeks ago we drove down to Orlando to visit with Jamey's cousins Barb & Lisa and their families. The Bakers moved to Michigan and we hadn't seen her family in forever... so we had so much fun seeing everyone again!! Unfortunately, we had such a good time visiting, that Lisa and the kids missed their flight back home!! On the way home from Orlando, Jamey and i did a little Christmas shopping with jack... and he got soooo excited to ride on his first merry go round!! Too cute!
