It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ...

I LOVE this picture of Zaida.

Her sweet little hands gripping the chair - she is just my most precious little gift. Even though you can't see her face, it is seriously one of my very favorite pictures.

What an absolute sweetheart!

Accountant in the Making?

She might be taking after her Daddy & following in his accounting footsteps. Sure looks like she appreciates those deductions, doesn't it?

Polka dot princess

What a cute girl ... I love her in this sweet little fleece outfit!

And, in this next picture there is no doubt that Zaida is a Meurer. Classic Meurer face!

Santa Who?

Zaida had her first encounter with Santa Claus. As you can see she wasn't so sure, but as long as she could see Mommy she was ok. When I went to pick her up she caught a glimpse of the big man & was lightening quick and grabbed a big handful of his beard. I was so happy that I could release the death grip & get her hand untangled without any mishaps.

Mixed Marriage

Even though it's a struggle we are working through it ... :)

Here are a couple pics of Zaida pre-game ... aren't we excited!

Near the end of the game ... wish I could have slept through the end of the game myself.

Tickling the ivories!

Besides having a nice thanksgiving - we found a new toy for Zaida. :)

She loves music ... she must be taking after her namesake. My grandma was a music teacher & tried to teach me how to play the piano about a dozen times. Maybe Zaida will be better at it than I was!

Thanksgiving

We were fortunate enough to spend Thankgiving up in Aberdeen at my Meme & Papa's house. We love spending time with them - and we are so thankful to have such wonderful family. It was great to spend time with Scott, Jane & Eric - it's always nice to see you guys! We love you!
