Christmas with friends!

Today Libby and I had plans to go out and take some pictures of her (I was just in the mood to shoot some pictures of my beautiful girl!) and then meet up with Debs and Karen for lunch and then head to a Christmas parade. Well....it started raining and never stopped. Libby and I left the house at 8:00am this morning and it was raining but I was holding out hope that it wouldn't be raining in Gainesville or it would at least let up after an hour or so. No such luck. So, we went to Kohl's for some shopping and then we headed over to the mall to window-shop. We met up with Debs and Karen for lunch at a place that we hadn't been to before but I'd heard nothing but great things about. I liked the setting...very relazed and comfy and I loved the Christmas decorations up around the restaurant and the Christmas music playing and we were sitting near the fireplace so the setting was just wonderful. We exchanged Christmas gifts while we waited for our food and Libby was very excited when she opened her Razor scooter that Debs and Karen got for her. She was ready to leave and head home right then! :-)
After lunch Debs and Karen headed back home and Libby and I headed to Alachua for the Christmas parade. There wasn't all that much to it and there were hardly any people there watching it but I'm sure that is because it rained up until time for the parade to start. But it wasn't bad watching the little floats go by and having people on each float ride by and wish you a Merry Christmas while they ran up and gave Libby candy. :-)

After the parade we drove back to Newberry and I took some pictures of Libby in a few places that I've been wanting for a long time to take her so that I could take her picture. I have a VERY beautiful daughter! :-)

After the pictures we came home and Libby went out to ride her scooter and almost immediately it started raining so she only got about 3 minutes on it before it was time to head back inside. Since we got back home we've been watching Christmas movies and just enjoying some relaxing time together!
