After another eventful trip to Utah, we are home in Houston again. Hope all of your Christmases were as merry as ours was! Although we had planned to be in Beaufort this year, my sister Lauren got engaged on Halloween and married in Utah on the 19th, so we ended up with my family again this Christmas. It was nice to see snow on Christmas ... and nice to leave it behind and return to Houston two days later.
Charlotte got this cute little outfit from Adam's mom. Thanks, Mimi! Too bad she spit up all over it right before all of the Christmas Eve festivities started.
Enter Christmas Outfit #2. An hour later, this beautiful sweater my friend Kellie knitted for Charlotte was covered in spit-up too.The only person who comes close to being as beautiful as my baby is her aunt Ashley!
We learned a very, very valuable lesson this year. Never take your kid to a mall in Utah to see Santa on the 23rd of December. We waited three hours--and we got there before the two hundred people behind us. Charlotte conked out while we waited ...
and woke up just in time to howl when we put her in Santa's arms!
The three-hour wait in line didn't deter Grammy, aunts Ashley and Caroline, and my brother David (a.k.a. Uncle Bubba) from hanging around for the fun.
Christmas Eve this year had a brand-new feature at the Moulton-Bybee house: a pinata. Charlotte got as excited as the rest of the kids about all of the candy that came out of the pinata and even managed (with the help of her naughty aunt Lauren) to get her little fists around two lollipops. Maybe next year, Charlotte!
Bored on Christmas morning with all of the blatant materialism and consumerism. Even Balaam the Singing Donkey can't hold her attention for long.
Enjoying a book with Papa at the end of all of the Christmas carnage.
