we got together with family on scott's side today to do some Christmas celebrating and have a fun day out. we started off at the local bowling alley and meredith enjoyed her first time bowling. she was a real natural. she was all interested in the social side of bowling and we thought it was great how the bowling alley had 'bumpers' up so the 'kids' didn't get their bowling balls stuck in the gutters. at first i had meredith in the baby wrap that i am wearing in the photos.... but she much preferred being held by all of her extended family! we celebrated back at aunt linda and uncle tom's house with great eats that included a great Christmas cookie spread and Jesus' Birthday cake. oh yes, and meredith got spoiled with lots of presents tooo..... including her first dolly!
