One of the perks of living in a community are the community events. There have only been a couple of things since we have moved in and for some reason or another we have never been able to make it. When I got the email about Santa coming, I made sure to put it on my calendar.
The sales reps at the model home thought of the idea to have the neighborhood kids come in to get their picture taken in exchange for canned goods instead of money. I thought it was a great idea and it keeps me from having to battle the crowds elsewhere!
Adelyn did great and everyone thought she was adorable! I wasn't concerned about her crying because she loves people. She did look at Santa funny at first because she has never seen a beard before! After the initial shock, she gobbled up all the attention from the sales reps and camera lady. She was smiling and waving and putting on a show! Silly girl!
We hadn't planned on it, but they talked us into getting a family picture as well. I am glad that they did! Look at Adelyn's smile! She was loving all the attention!
This weekend Travis and I ran tons of errands and did a lot around the house. Adelyn just went with the flow! I told Travis that this has been my favorite stage so far with Adelyn! She is still my little baby, but she is starting to get more independent where she doesn't need me constantly. In the car she would just entertain herself and when we did give her attention she smiled and giggled and melted our hearts! She would just hang around the room we were in and watch us as we worked (sometimes trying to help). It is just so fun watching her grow!

I really like you guys!! that family picture made me laugh! I'm going to miss you when we leave!!!
Can I ask what community you built in? My fiancee and I are building in Ohio and it seems as though it may be the same community based on this santa event and other things you have posted in the past. I have been reading so many Ryan Homes Blogs but we decided not to start one of our own. If you don't want to share the specifics of the community I understand why. Thanks! I love reading about your house when you were building!
We are in Carriage Trails. There are quite a few young couples that live here! I read tons of Ryan Homes blogs when we were building too! Since I already had a blog and didn't want to worry about keeping up with another one I just wrote house updates on here with my personal stuff.
We're in carriage trails too! We're closing on our house mid January. I'm sure we'll see you guys around the neighborhood when we move in!
