Christmas and New Years Eve 2013!

I had almost 2 weeks off for the Christmas/Winter break, but it went by so fast that I can't believe it's over already! 

  • The break started off with a much needed date night with our college friends from Conshy, Ali and Diana, and my friend Colleen who flew in from Indianapolis.  We went to a fancy dinner and then out to the bars in Conshy, just like the days before the baby!  We had a blast and of course paid for it the next day when the baby woke up early....

(Diana eluded all pictures this evening!)
  • Jared and I took Sara downtown on Christmas Eve and spent the afternoon taking in all of the Philly Christmas sights.  Our major event was watching the light show at the Comcast Building.  It was such a good show that it even kept Sara's attention.  She enjoyed smiling at all of the people and clapping along with the rest of the crowd.



  • On Christmas day, Santa came to visit and left Sara a singing/rocking lady bug.  She has enjoyed playing, dancing and singing with it ever since. Then, for a change, my parents and Grandmother came to visit us in Conshy.  We went to church and had dinner at our house.










  • The following day, we went back to my parents house to get together with the rest of the family.  Sara enjoyed "chasing" Allison around the house (although Allison was much too fast) and stealing Olivia's pacifier (not for herself, just because she didn't think Olivia needed it).  We all had a great time at home, and it was fun to see the kids start to interact.

  • My break ended with an awesome New Years Eve!  We participated in an "Around the World" progressive dinner with our friends from Philly.  We started in "Spain" and had appetizers at Diana's.  Then, we went to "Italy" at our condo for dinner, and ended up in "France" at Ali's for dessert.  It was our first time with a non-related baby-sitter, and we had such a good time out with our friends.  A wonderful way to end 2013 and begin 2014....



See why my break went sooo fast!?!
