Hey there Baby Girl…

You, your Daddy, Daddy Jim, Madeline, Daniel and I ALLLLL went over to Aunti Judi & Uncle Jim’s for our traditional Christmas Eve dinner… It was so great for us to all be together for that – Your Aunti Judi and Uncle Jim have a beautiful gift of nurturing the development of family among many unrelated people. We are so grateful they are in our lives.

But before dinner, we went to the Christmas Play at church – and you were a STAR!!!! Check it out!!! (The first 2 pictures were from rehearsal – you can find you by looking for stipey pants. the third picture is from the performance.)

Dinner at Judi & Jim’s

You selected and painted a lovely ceramic cat bank as a gift for your Autie Judi and Uncle Jim:

This picture TOTALLY cracks me up -I call it, ‘Ok, enough CJ.’ 🙂 You two are TOO fun to watch!
