The weekend didn't get any better because we did some running around Friday night for a bit. Saturday we ate breakfast with friends at Chiloso (yummy!), watched the Rockwall Christmas Parade, and went hunting for our Christmas tree. So we were gone from 8-3pm. Once again Natalie was a champ! I borrowed a Baby Bjourn (sp?) from a friend to hold her during the parade and tree hunt. She slept the entire time with the exception to eat of course. This girl doesn't know how to skip a meal. And when she is hungry, you better get it ready fast or she will let you know ALL about it. Temper! The weather was unseasonably warm, but it worked out nicely for us to have her out in the fresh air. Here are some photos of our excursion:
Then we decided to take the opportunity for Christmas shots!
So the drama comes when we are paid and ready to load our tree, and the worker notices our tag and the tree's tag doesn't match! They mixed them up with someone else's tree selection. Both numbers had been paid for but ours had been taken. We thought maybe it all worked out but when we got home and set it up, we realized it definitely was NOT our tree. So 45 minutes of hunting, and $55 later, we had the wrong tree.
Practically ruined my night of Christmas decorating fun. It wasn't a horrible tree, but it wasn't OUR tree. We tried to "groom" it, but I was still bitter about how it looked.=(
On a lighter note, this morning was Natalie's first trip to church! She has been a bit crankier than normal this weekend and this morning was no different as we were getting dressed so I was a little worried. However, she did great! She recieved lots of "ooohs" and "ahhhhhh" and even a few tears from some dear friends who have been praying for us for years. Precious moments to remember!
P.S. I forgot to mention that she ate 6 ounces in one of her feedings this weekend! Porker!
luv!!!!! Her red christmas dress is sooo cute!!!!!!
