Holiday Fun!

We've had a lot going on here lately but mom didn't want to let her blogging responsibilities slide too much.  December has been a busy month and I've been engaging in many exciting activities.  Swimming is almost over for the fall but I'm enjoying my most recent class, smiling coyly for the camera.  Thanks for the great photo, Kendy!

Here we are at the Bridgewater Holiday Party, where mom got me as close to Santa as we think I'm going to get this year.  I was definitely not a fan of the man in the red suit...nor did I want anything to do with Frosty the Snowman, who seemed to lurk around every corner.  The party was fun, nonetheless, and I was at least able to wear my party clothes and be social with dad's work friends.

On Saturday we went to the Kavanaugh's house, who hosted a Holiday Party for all of my friends (and their parents, of course) in our playgroup.  Here I am opening my great present from Olivia, who was my Secret Santa.  I got a wooden puzzle (definitely a fave!) and a set of stacking wooden boxes.  The highlight of the party was when all the parents attempted to assemble the kiddies for a group photo...HAH!  Better luck next year, moms and dads.  We had a great time and it was nice to see all of my friends.

Here I am racing through the muddy fields of Maple Row Tree Farm, where my mom and dad have come for many years now to chop down their Christmas Tree. Last year I was too small to really help pick out the tree but this year 

I am determined not to miss out on any of the fun.

 

I've finally acquiesced to let daddy pick me up for a few minutes.  After several spills in the mud, I am both exhausted and exhilarated by the day's activities.  We have finally found the Seymour Family tree and can't wait to get home and decorate it.  Happy Holidays!! Love, Charlotte
