When life gives you lemons. . .

eat them! Here’s some photos from Christmas Eve – we spent the day taking some goodies to friends, then we went out to an early dinner at Olive Garden. Here’s a few pics from the day and a short video – just so you know – in the video, Chloe is (trying to) say “yum, yum, yum! delicioso!” 🙂

Chloe’s knocking on Olive Garden’s Door – so polite, you know. 🙂

A great smile for Mommy!

Oh. bless the hearts of all the wonderful restaurant owners who think kids should have crayons and coloring sheets while they wait.

Well, I go to Olive Garden for the breadsticks and salad – Chloe goes for the breadsticks and lemons.

“Yeah, mom, I’ll just take these – you enjoy your lasagna.”

Chloe’s first Christmas gift from this year.

She was soooo tired after our long day, that she didn’t really care too much about opening any gifts.  Guess this’ll change after a year or two. 🙂

She really did like her new Christmas Story Book, and the accompanying paper doll set, but she was really tired.  So, we just read the story again the next morning. 🙂  Honestly?  This was kind of a repeat of last year.  Maybe falling asleep during the Christmas Story will the the tradition of our family for awhile. 🙂
