December: Week 4 of Trip

December 11th was a day of "firsts" for Everett. He saw his first Christmas tree...





had prunes for the first time...

(After the initial shock of the tart, he liked them!)
and bathed with Emily for the first time.
As I posted before, he started (army) crawling around on the 12th and 13th. Then, on December 14th we drove north to visit some friends. That afternoon, they couldn't resist putting him in this little cap.

And Mr. Happy...
couldn't resist the bell at the back door.
On the 15th we had a surprise lunch with Daddy who was in TX on business for the day. We were all REALLY happy to see him!
That is also the day Everett started his new squinty smile.

On December 16th we just hung out and played around with our friends before driving back to Mimi and Papa's house that afternoon. This trip marked the first time Everett saw dogs in person - Jake liked to be nice and close to Everett.
Before leaving I did manage to get a picture of Everett with Elizabeth...
and Laura snapped this one of him with Ben...
before the final group shot of all the kids. (see Everett's smile here too)
On December 17th we stuck around the house and Emily decorated the Christmas tree all by herself!
Maybe next year Everett can help.
