Adventures in parenthood: December....already?

Holy cow! I can't believe that it's December already! That means my sweet little baby is going to be six months old in just a few weeks! She's growing and changing so much every single day...and I can't believe how lucky we are to be parents to this sweet little girl! She's absolutely fabulous in every way, shape, and form! And we're really lucky...our daughter is happy, healthy, and sleeps through the night!:)

Christmas is just around the corner...and with that comes new traditions for our sweet little family. We had our first little tradition last night at Jeff and Mona's church (the church where Adam and I were married). We attended the Hanging of the Greens service to decorate and celebrate the beginning of the Advent season. Interestingly, Claire is the most recently born baby at Mackey Salem United Methodist...which means we were asked to represent the Holy family. So, on a donkey covered in carpet (with wheels...), Mommy and Claire were ushered into church by Daddy...representing Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus. Claire was a hamball the whole time...smiling and talking through the whole service. Her first acting role was a lovely success...and she stayed perfectly in character the whole time!

Here are a few pictures. Some are from last week...and some are from the holiday traveling we did over the weekend! I forgot I had the camera for most of the festivities, so there aren't a whole lot!
