Favorite Things Christmas Party and babyfood

My Bible study just had our first Christmas party together!  For the party, we decided to do a "Favorite Things" theme.  I found the idea here.

For our group of 10 women, we chose the magic number of 4 gifts at $5 or less a piece.  The idea is that everyone draws 4 names and the names you draw, you place your Favorite Thing gift into their bag.  So everyone leaves the party with 4 Favorite Things gifts from 4 different women in the group.  It's a unique way to learn a little bit about your new friends and things they enjoy, as well as a chance to try new products, etc.

Whenever we get together, it's non-stop talking so of course, barely any photos were taken.

I brought blank note cards as my Favorite Things gift (or blank-insides!).  It's nice to send and receive good ol' hand written cards every now and then.

So fun!  All my loot!

On another note, Selah is doing so much better with solids!  It took over a week for her to accept avocados and sweet potatoes.  To help her along, I began mixing banana with sweet potato.  That did the trick!

Today she ate all 3 foods like a pro.  I was so proud.  I am loving making my own baby food. Now I really feel domestic.  I haven't done all the math yet but I feel we've already saved quite a bit plus it's healthy and quick and easy to do.

Mmm avocado

Isn't she just too cute?  She's 6.5 months... yipes!
