Santa Visit #1

This year we saw several Santas. In addition our annual tradition of seeing the "real" Santa at Phipps, we also visited Santa at the Jr. League of Atlanta Holly Jolly Breakfast at the Ritz and also at the Wentz's Santa Breakfast in the neighborhood (MK sat this one out!). Each visit entailed Mary Katherine screaming bloody murder and Annalee staring at Santa with a bewildered look (and often tugging his beard and collar)!
The first set featured here is from the Holly Jolly Breakfast:

Beach Break

We were lucky enough to escape to the condo at Tops'l over Thanksgiving break. We desperately needed to get away and also to enjoy some quality family time. The weather was a little warmer than here and the beach was so beautiful! We walked on the beach, played, swam, Christmas shopped, ate, strolled Baytowne and were able to get a great shot of the girls for our Christmas card! Mary Katherine's favorite thing to do is to go to the Baytowne village across the street in Sandestin. For the holidays they have Christmas decorations, a makeshift ice skating rink (too little this year) and a fire pit with smores to roast in the courtyard. Everytime MK woke up from a nap or in the morning the first thing she said was "Go Baytowne, eat lunch" or "Go Baytowne, eat dinner." We appreciate our vacations there so much and cannot wait to go back:)

Thanksgiving 2009

Here are pics from Thanksgiving with our good family friends-the Moran family (at their house), the Horner family and the Hickey family. Of course all the Bicks were there too:) We had such a blast-Mary Katherine and Annalee had so much fun playing wtih Lucy!
