Who Doesn't LOVE a Good Breakfast??

I have heard it said that when your kids ask you to do an activity this year that you did last year, what you have on your hands is a TRADITION!  (Think Fiddler on the Roof.  By the way, have any of you ever seen Jonathan Clarke do that impression?  It is hilarious.)  So our latest and greatest tradition is going out to breakfast close to New Year's at the Little America Hotel in SLC.  The buffet has a great selection, the dining area has the right amount of class, and it is family-friendly enough for our little breakfast-lovers.  And we love to look around the lobby for a bit after we are finished.

Here's our precious girl stuffing her face with lots of oranges (ORaNGeS??  At a breakfast buffet??), pancakes, bacon, and strawberries.

Raleigh is such her father's daughter when it comes to eating.  She ate LOTS and LOTS of fruit.  And bacon.  

If you know how much Dionne loves old people, then you know how much she wanted to break through the glass and pinch this Santa's little cheeks and take him home with her!

And Choobers wanted to take this dog home.  This was the least-blurry shot we could get with all of that hugging and smooching and running around she was doing for this dog!
