Santa Baby

Laney met Santa at the end of October at the Montgomery Junior League's Holiday Market. We thought for sure she would cry instantly, but she did great. It cracks me up that Santa gives Donald his card. I shortened the video, but at the end Santa asked "I gave you my card right?" like they might do business together or something?? Maybe Santa is starting to think about retirement..

Thanksgiving in Savannah

Donald, Laney and I took his parents to Savannah on Thanksgiving day to celebrate their 50th anniversary, which was on Friday. We stayed the night in a B&B in the historic district and ate at Paula Deen's restaurant, Lady & Sons, for our Thanksgiving meal. On Friday we had fun walking through the squares down to the famous Forsyth Park, stopping along the way to do a little shopping and admire the architecture. Savannah is full of style and character. I didn't get to stop in all the home stores I had on my list because it started pouring rain, so now we have a reason to go back! It would be a great romantic getaway too.

Our hotel, East Bay Inn

The rooms had these great exposed brick walls

Laney tried sweet potatoes (baby food) for the first time

Reynolds Square, between East Bay Inn and Lady & Sons

Had to get this one since we recently joined a Methodist church :)

Loved this store, Paris Market. This first photo is of a huge corkboard they had on display for customers to pin up what they are thankful for. I will be stealing this idea when we host a Thanksgiving meal!
