Santa Clause

Tuesday night we took Savannah to see Santa Clause.  We were told by EVERYONE she wouldn*t like him, they were all RIGHT.  Santa walked up and started to talk to Savannah and she tightened her grip on me.  As we walked close to put her on his lap, she started to cry.  I even tried to hold her with Santa and she was not happy.  Thankfully Bass Pro Shops gave us two pictures.  It was an experience and memories!!!!!

To Grandpa*s House We Go

This was Robert's tricycle

Pointing at all of the barking dogs :)

Last weekend, Savannah had her first overnight trip without mommy and daddy at her grandpa Hicks house.  She had a blast and so did grandpa!  Robert and I went to Raleigh for the NC State football game and to spend time with friends.  Harry had toys and food ready for Savannah.  She LOVED his toys!  She played non stop and ate non stop too. :)  Harry said the only thing he would change about her is to slow her down.  She never stops.  I have to say though, I truly missed my baby girl SOOOOOO much!  I realize how much she is my world!

Renaissance Festival

Last Sunday our family went with the Hall*s to the Carolina Renaissance Festival.  Savannah seemed to have a good time.  I think the festival was a little over her head.  We sure had fun with the Hall*s though.  At the Tortuga Twins show, Savannah wanted to play with the leaves.  We rode the Swan Ride, partly because it was the only free ride.  Savannah seemed to enjoy that ride.  We went to the jousting tournament and Savannah got really scared when the horses rode out angrily.  To end the trip we rode some type of bird ride.  Savannah was ready to crash and I was about to throw up.  All in all, I think this was our last trip for a while to the Renaissance Festival. 

Lunch with Daddy

Last week, I took a personal day and took Savannah to Thanksgiving lunch at Robert*s work.  She was a hit!! She followed Robert everywhere and enjoyed meeting all of the wonderful people he works with.  She also ate A LOT!!

Southern Christmas Show

The wolfpack hat!  Just for daddy!!

This reminded me of my mom!!!!!

Savannah*s second annual Christmas Show - 13 months old

Savannah*s first Christmas Show - 1 month old

Friday, I had the day off for Veteran's Day.  I went to the Southern Christmas Show with Krysten, Ashlea and Savannah.  It was Savannah's second time to the show.  I think i*m going to start something every year with her.  This year I bought her an ornament to start doing every year.  She was so well behaved the entire time.  I bought a couple of things for Savannah and grandma*s Christmas presents.  Savannah ended up passing out by the end of the Christmas show.

Trunk or Treating

Savannah*s Loot

Halloween was sooo much fun!  Savannah was a ladybug.  She was absolutely adorable!  We started our night off at my grandma and papa*s house.  Savannah dug into the candy bowl and took candy out and then put it back in.  Papa even got on the floor with her and played, it was sooo sweet!  Cody came around the corner in his old man costume and she screamed and started crying.  It was actually quite funny.  Halloween night we went to our church's pumpkin ball.  Our friend Jacob gave her a sucker and Savannah didn*t want to let go of it all night.  Her favorite thing to do all night was to run around holding her sucker.  She played one game where you pick up a pumpkin and look at the number for a prize.  She won a hand slapper, but still wanted the sucker.  After running around for a while, we went to trunk or treat.  Savannah enjoyed getting candy in her basket and almost put her sucker down, but then changed her mind.  Robert is very happy about the amount of candy Savannah got!  Overall, Savannah had a wonderful time trick or treating!

One Year Pictures

our second family picture

happy halloween from savannah

she looks soooo big here!

Saturday we went to have our family pictures taken.  I*ve had pictures of Savannah taken every month since she was born and these were the last set, until she turns 18  months old. :)  We had to cancel last week because of the big bump on her noggin and the line where she hit the desk.  This week our big issue was teeth.  She was cranky and her teeth hurt and she DID NOT want to cooperate.  We got some good shots, but she choose not to smile in most of them.  Robert was a little frazzled too.  Savannah*s uncooperativeness brought back bad memories of having pictures made when he was younger, according to him.  Overall, I think we got some great pictures.  Luckily, he will not have to go with us at her 18 month pictures. :)
