Trimming the tree + sounding the holiday trumpets

What a FUN weekend I had - I mean it, it was filled with new experiences + it was a blast! First, on Friday night Mom + Dad took a HUGE step as new parents. They went to Mom's company's Christmas party + dropped me off at our neighbors, the Oggs, who watched me until they got home. I had such a good time, I spit up on 3 outfits while they were out. Mom + Dad missed me a lot but I was so busy making messes and playing with Kevin, Hillary & Elliot Ogg that I barely even noticed they were gone. Man, we have good neighbors.

Then on Saturday, we went out and bought a tree, and put it INSIDE THE HOUSE! I think my parents have really lost it, because in all of my 9 weeks I have NEVER seen trees inside the house, only outside. Elliot, Kevin + Hillary came over and we put lights and ornaments all over it. Even though the 'tree inside the house' idea seems a little crazy to me, I must admit it looks beautiful + I loved decorating it.

Last night, we topped our weekend off by going to church - it was my very first time, but Mom is also a novice so we both considered ourselves guests. We went to see Elliot get baptized. The weather was terrible + even though the church was only about a mile away, Mom freaked out about the roads the whole way there. We made it though, and I was so well behaved throughout the entire service. I especially loved all the music, and Elliot's baptism ceremony was beautiful! I got a little gassy during one of the passages about the return of Jesus, though - the lady who was preaching said "And the trumpets will SOUND!" and right on cue - I sounded my own trumpet, right out of my butt. Mom + Dad were a little embarassed, but I thought it was hilarious. Hey, if you can't chuckle about church, can you realy claim a sense of humor? I think not.
