Playing in the kitchen...

I am so glad Spencer and I told Santa that it might be a good idea if he brought Sawyer a kitchen this year.  She loves it!  She pretends to fill up cups with water, get ice from the fridge, and she even turns the knobs as if she is turning the stove or oven on.  She also loves to bring Mommy and Daddy a taste of her lasted creation.

New Year's Day!

Of course, Spencer and I couldn't stand it any longer being away from sweet Sawyer, so we headed to meet Mimi and Pop just before lunch.  Once we got home, we napped, then spent the rest of the day playing, and I made the traditional NYD dinner!  I have to say, I think I did a pretty good job this year!

Topped with a little hot sauce, this was a great meal to begin 2012!!!

Happy New Year!

It is so hard to believe that 2012 has already arrived!  Spencer and I are looking forward to our sweet adventures with Sawyer.  She is so much fun and growing and changing every day!

This year, Sawyer spent NYE with MiMi and Pop in Albertville, while Mommy and Daddy had a few friends over for a fantastic NYE dinner.  It was a great evening spent with close friends!  Lots of great food, laughs, and fun!
