Christmas in Charleston



















We went to Charleston to spend sometime this Christmas with Meme & Mel, Pop Pop, Aunt Pam and Uncle David. We left on Thursday when Daddy got off work. I was very excited about this trip and was looking forward to snuggling with my Meme on the pull out sofa. When we got to Charleston, I was very wired up. I kept Meme up til after midnight. Finally Mommy and Daddy made me go to bed. I enjoy going to breakfast with Meme & Mel every morning at McDonnalds.

On Friday, Mommy and I baked and decorated Christmas cookies at Meme's house. They were so pretty when we finished. I ejoyed helping roll them out and put the cookie cutters on the dough to cut out the cookies. We made Christmas trees, Snowmen, Snowflakes, Gingerbread men, Candy canes, and hearts. We put white icing on some of the cookies and then decorated them with colored sugar. On some cookies we used piped icing to decorate. Did you know you have to turn the light on in the stove to make the cookies cook? That is what I told my Mommy.

On Saturday morning I went shopping with Daddy to pick out Mommy's Christmas present. Ella and I got Mommy an apron. She needed one since her old one broke. I picked out a pretty green one for her at Target. I told her when we got home that I wasn't going to tell her about the apron that Ella and I got her for christmas because it was a secret. My Mommy says I am just like her--->can't keep a secret for anything! On Saturday afternoon, we had Christmas with Meme. I got a Mickey Mouse Club House and all of the mickey mouse club house friends. I also got the Tune Car. It is so neat all of the friends talk to each other. I know I am going to have a great time playing with it.

We went to see the Christmas lights at James Island with Pop Pop Saturday night. I had a little accident as soon as we got there but Mommy helped me get dried up. I got to ride the carousel. I liked the Christmas lights very much. I just wish Ella would have stopped screaming. On Sunday,Mommy and Daddy took me to First Scots Presbyterian Church for Christmas Eve service. It was so beautiful. The music sounded like angels singing. After the children's message, I went to a special birthday party for Jesus. We had cupcakes and juice. I made a little necklace with a cross charm on it. After Church, we met Pop Pop, Aunt Pam and Uncle David at Cracker Barrel for lunch and then we went to Aunt Pam's to open presents. Pop Pop gave me this really cool fisher price digital camera. I love taking photos! It is a great gift that I am sure I am going to enjoy for many years to come.
