We attended a playdate at Laura and Baby Dylan's house in Midtown. The Mommies got to socialize while the babies played. We really enjoyed it! Baby Isabella, John, Jack and Clark were there too!
Abby had a great time with her new friends

Aunt Melissa's Graduation Party
Sunday, December 16, 2012
My parents, Maria and Miguel hosted a beautiful graduation party for Aunt Melissa at the Royal Oaks Country Club. It was absolutely gorgeous and everyone had a wonderful time. Btw--Mommy (Crystal) won the award for 'best speech' and Kyle won for most 'emotional speech'--his touching words about Melissa didn't leave a dry eye in the place.

Love the cowboy boots!

Christmas Cookie Party
Tuesday, December 11, 2012
Abby and I hosted our first event for our In-the-loop-Mama play group. This playgroup is for first time Moms with babies born in 2012. We joined in October and we thought it would be fun to host a Christmas cookie party at our home to get to know the other babies and Mommies. It was a big hit! Abby and I had a great time.

Meeting Santa Claus
Saturday, December 8th 2012
We had a busy little weekend--Abby's first trip to meet Santa. We went to Bering's in West U and did a little Christmas shopping. She didn't cry at all, in fact she loved all the attention, looks like a Christmas card.
