Christmas Day we had everyone over to our house for lunch. I was a little nervous because I made new things for everyone to eat. I think that it turned out well. R had fun playing with her new toys. Sorry that Auntie RayRay, Shawn, and Ted could not make it.
After Christmas Eve Service at church we went over to my mom's for my birthday and Christmas. We had a good time. R really got the hang of opening presents...it was cute. She also said Shawn's name for the first time...she really likes playing with him.
We went to R's family Christmas on the 23rd. It was very nice, especially since we were unable to attend last year. It is amazing how much kids grow in 2 years! The little baby is R's cousin's new baby. She looks like a baby doll.
R has been teething for about a week now. She got a fever on Thurs of last week and had it up until yesterday. She won't let us in to see, but the doctor said she was getting teeth. Sunday night was by far and away the hardest night with her so far. She was crying and up almost all night. Finally at 3 am we decided to put her in our bed to see if she would sleep.
This year's Thanksgiving was a good time. Grandma O came down to my parents house. Everyone had fun playing with R. As you can see from the pictures we are getting R started early on Black Friday Shopping!!!!!!!!!!
So someone at our church told me about this wonderful Co-op of fruits and veggies from local farmers. You just go online and pay, the 1st time it is $19.50, but after that it is $16.50. Look at everything that we got for that price. This is the 2nd basket we have purchased and love it. After you pay online you go on Saturday to the location you selected to pick up your basket at with your own laundry basket. When you get there they have baskets with fruits and baskets with veggies. You get to dump on of each of those into your basket and head home. I love it because you never know what you are going to get. Here is the link check it out!!! www.bountifulbaskets.org
R loves the slide...only she calls it Whee because that is what she says when she is going down. She will do it over and over again. She loves to send her babies sailing down alone or with her. She also likes to roll her ball down it.
37 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
1 John 3:17
But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?
1 John 4:20-21
20 If anyone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. 21 And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.
