First Steps

Charlotte started taking a few steps here and there a few weeks ago, and has yet to stand on her own and walk across the floor, but she will pull herself up on something and then walk across the room. I was able to record one of those sweet first occasions.

Christmas Party

Every year our ministry group has a Christmas party, and it's one of my favorite meetings of the year. Everyone brings their favorite holiday food, we have wonderful fellowship, sing Christmas carols, and end the whole thing with a white elephant gift exchange. There are certain rules to our gift exchange though that make it "extra special". The thing is, you can't spend any money on it. So, what comes wrapped up by those we've come to know and love greatly, is anything from a hideous pair of "his and hers" matching Texas flag polos (sorry Steve) to a huge gift box, of, you guessed it, gift bags (compliments of yours truly who had WAY too many baby themed gift bags stored up after Charlotte's baby showers). It turns out to be tons of fun and the crazy part is that you actually find yourself wanting to steel someone else's really bad gift. These are some pictures our good friend, Stump (yes, that's his name), took at the party.
