Chief Egbor

My friend Schevone who now lives in Nigeria still has family here that invited us to a party.The party was for the 83rd Birthday of Schevone's father in law. We had such a wonderful time.

The video is one of Anna's favorite things to watch.

These are the pre-trip to go get Santa photos!

I took them just in case she decided against the photo w/ Santa.

I am soooo PROUD of her! For weeks I have tried to take her to get a photo w/ Santa.
