More warm cookies

On Wednesday Stephanie and Alyse arrived at our home and the laughter has abundant! Alyse is so inquisitive about everything. When she saw the Christmas books on the lower shelve of the table she had to investigate. She gave a precious look at her "papa" when I asked what she we was doing. Her little giggle is brings a great joy to my heart.

Later that night we attended a Christmas party for one of our favorite small groups. Alyse was ready to "party"!

On Thursday she helped her mom and "GRAMMIE" with the baking of even more cookies.

Friday was a short but meaningful trip to Triangle Mall in Raleigh. It was time for Alyse to have her first picture with Santa Claus. She did not disappoint any of us when she laughed while standing in line - only to cry when placed on Santa's lap.



Alyse will know more about Santa and grasp the true meaning of the season in years ahead. Meanwhile - this is the first picture placed on our new refrigerator in our home!


Now I must admit that Stephanie has more pictures of our visit including a video clip which reminds her of a hat on my head at the small group party Go to Stephanie's blog scroll down to Christmas check it out with a simple click HERE ENJOY!
