2013 is already a new year full of firsts.....

We are only a few weeks into January, and already we have had a lot of excitement going on in the Cox household..... and some firsts as well.....

Nick & I attending our first ever Inaugural Celebration. I bought tickets for Nick for Christmas to the Inaugural Celebration for Governor Pat McCrory. We have been big fans of his for a long time, and have even heard him speak at several different events in years past. Well, I knew this celebration would be a hit with Nick. We loved getting to dress up and "hob-nob" as Nick likes to call it.

A first for Camille this year... She attended her first Children's Church this past Sunday. Our church has a time for the children during the service for them to come up front and hear a bible story. They then go to Wiggler Worship, which is like Sunday School for toddlers :) They allow kids age 3-5 to go to Children's Church, but we had waited a few months to send Camille since we know what a little chatterbox she can be :) She did great. Her buddy Mary went with her, so that helped and Camille made sure to be quiet while up front. We were proud of our big girl!

Another first for Camille.... she made her debut in our church newsletter..... and being that we attend a very large church, I was shocked! This is a picture of her during our Stop Hunger Now mission event where she volunteered packaging meals with me. She describes it as when she "helped mommy cook rice and wore a chef hat in school."

We have also had a lot of play dates already this month! We got blessed with a few warm weekends in between some freezing cold weekdays, so we took advantage. Camille had play dates with her M&M friends.... Madelyn, Mary, and Molly :)

So 2013 is off to a great start for the Cox family..... hope yours is too!
