First Christmas and "walking"

Penny had a wonderful first Christmas. We started extra early this year on the 23rd so that we could celebrate with Uncle Joel, Aunt Abbie and cousin Ellie. Then we celebrated Grandpa H's birthday on the 24th with his traditional breakfast feast.

Penny got to play a sheep in this years impromptu Christmas pageant at church. She thought about crawling down the aisle but in the end daddy had to pick her up.

She received lots of fun toys from both sets of families. She now has two new toys that are helping her learn to walk. Here's a video from one of her first attempts:

Christmas Time

Penny loves all the Christmas decorations around the house!! When we walk around she points things out and says "please" because she wants to play with all the decorations. Yes, she says please, it is her first word, with her insane appetite we had to teach her a nice way of asking for more food rather then screaming. We are very excited for her first Christmas and her first birthday!!!
