Christmas Tag!! You're it!!

My good friend Jacque tagged us Walters girls for this Christmas tag, so here goes it.

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? It has to be wrapping paper. Actually, one of my favorite things during the holidays is wrapping the gifts. I love making big bows and having coordinated paper. One of those quirky things. I believe part of the gift is the wrapping. Whether I am good at it or not is another question.

Our tree!!

Ellie and Parker helped me decorate the tree this year!! They were so excited and very good and helping. Every year we purchase a new ornament to place on the tree. We have some really creative ones that hopefully will remind them of the great Christmas' they had as children.

Starting solids!!

Okay, so this isn't the MOST flattering picture of Tay, BUT I had to document this milestone in her life! She has started eating cereal and it is going quite well. She has been such a wonderful baby I love every minute I have to spend with her. Hopefully rice cereal brings out the hair. :)
