True Love

Early morning conversations with my 2-year-old niece, Vivi...

me:  Vivi, do you love Charlotte?

vivi:  No.

me:  No?!  You don't love your cousin?

vivi:  No.  I love Diego. 

Yes Charlotte, there is a Santa Claus

I never took a photo with Santa Claus.  As a kid, I would look longingly at those fake North Pole set ups at the mall and wonder why I never got to sit on Santa's lap and ask for anything.  But gosh darnit, Santa is going to be a part of Charlotte's life and he's gonna be big!  Charlotte, meet Santy Claus...

Hmm, she actually wasn't too happy about meeting the jolly old dude in red.  We got one photo, however, where her back wasn't arched and where she wasn't screaming at the top of her lungs.  Note the fear in her eyes...

Merry Christmas!!!

Go Navy, Beat Army!

We headed up north to watch the Army-Navy football game this year with one of my co-workers, who is also an Academy grad.  I sadly didn't take any photos, but the food spread was phenomenal!  Amazing chili, ribs, cheese steak sandwiches, super cute football cake pops...yum yum yum!  Full disclosure - I don't think I watched one bit of the game.  But I was told that Navy won.  :)

Here's a photo of Charlotte and Patsy in their Navy gear.  Patsy was the perfect and exceedingly adorable hostess.
