We had fun celebrating Christmas this year with Charley. We had our pictures done for our Christmas card and yearly ornaments.
We had planned to have Grandma and Grandpa Gardner over for Christmas Eve but Grandpa ended up in the hospital a few days before Christmas. So we had a quiet Christmas Eve at home, again this year.

Grandpa Gardner was released from the hospital on Christmas morning, so we got to spend a little time with both Grandma and Grandpa!
We spent Christmas night at Nana and Papa's. Charley was tuckered out and Papa was able to get her right to sleep (like usual).

Charley got some blocks and a drum for Christmas and LOVES them!
I made us matching stockings this year...I love how they turned out!
We spent New Years Eve at home. Charley thought she was going to stay up until midnight. But actually, none of us made it. I guess that's what happens when you get old!
For mine and my mom's birthday, all of the girls in my family got together for a craft day and lunch. It was fun hanging out all together. And it was even more fun having my daughter join in!
Charley's hitting some BIG milestones! She's finally sitting up on her own. She's been able to do this for awhile but has refused to...she's a stinker ;)
And she's starting to stand on her own! Well...while holding onto something. But it won't be long before she gets this down as well! The difference with standing is that she LOVES doing it!
Here are some sweet moments of our little girl :)
| She's a daddy's girl |
She is very expressive and loves to talk with her hands. She loves to talk PERIOD! For Valentine's Day, she got a giraffe and she was telling us how big it was :)
| This is how she sits in her high chair. Always lounging LOL |
