Santa

Last week we went to Macy's 8th floor auditorium to see the display and Santa. I was a little leary as to how Charli would react. But we went with my high school friend Juli, her husband Dan and their two kids. Emily and Louie saw Santa first and sat right on his lap. Charli got to see this. She didn't want to sit on his lap but she was truly fascinated with him. She giggles now when anyone says, "Ho, Ho, Ho".

I also wanted to pass on a really neat tidbit. Dan is a stay at home dad but also is a high school and college referee. His crew was selected to referee the Alonzo Alamo Stagg Bowl. This is the Division III Championship game. This is a real honor. If you happen to be near a TV this Saturday around 10:00AM you may catch him on ESPN2. I know I'll be watching while finishing the baking.

Only a week until Christmas. Wow, how the first 3 months with Charli have flown by. I am so thrilled to have her home for Christmas. I know there are still many of my on-line friends who have yet to bring their children home. Please keep them in your prayers.

Finally baptism pix

 

Well, I finally got a collage of the baptism pix posted. You should be able to click on it to blow it up as well as each individual picture.

Thanksgiving came and went as a rather uneventful day. However, Eric was able to stay healthy and didn't catch anything from Charli. I did have a babysitter on Sunday 11/30 so I could help mom and dad with their big tree. Madison Davis came over and said that it went well except that Charli cried off and on for the last hour or so. She said it wasn't unbearable, but I'll find out for sure when I call her again :-)

I also had my first real "grown up" outing this weekend. On Saturday, Maureen, Jane, Dan, Sue, Mom and Dad and I went to Palomino and to see "Wicked". It was a real treat. I had my neighbor Darlene and her two boys watch Charli. The boys must have really played hard with Charli as I didn't hear a peep from her and she slept until 7:40AM!!!

This weekend I am hoping to attempt some holiday baking. We'll see how that goes. I'll keep you posted.
