My Earliest Memories

Though I will be calling this post a "tag," it is really about my earliest memories. I will write a little bit about mine and then "tag" a few other bloggers to answer some questions about their earliest memories. I think this will be a fun way to get to know each other's earlier life. Have fun!

1. What is your earliest memory?
Receiving Christ when I was two.
2. What is your earliest memory of a birthday?
My fourth or fifth birthday party that was at our house when we invited several friends from church.
3. What is your earliest memory of a food?
On my sixth birthday my mom made a butterfly cake for me. 
4. What is your earliest memory of a gathering?
My first clear memory of a gathering was participating in a potato sack race at a community picnic when I was really little. That same day I got my hair stuck in one of those sticky hanging fly traps! No fun. :-P
5. What is your earliest memory of non-immediate family?
I think getting a family picture at my grandparent's house when I was in the five to six year range.
6. What is your favorite memory?
I don't know that I have one in particular but I always enjoy taking trips as a family. We have gone camping at Peppermint Creek in the Sierra Nevada's, visited Hume Lake, Shaver Lake, many National Parks, and of course various family members throughout California.
7. What is your earliest memory of a gift?
I don't really have an early memory. Maybe getting a tether ball for a birthday when I was in first grade. (I think.)
8. What is your earliest memory of an embarrassment?
When I was in public school I got teased by a bunch of kids and didn't handle it very well since I was in kindergarten.
9. What is your earliest memory of when you were scared?
Probably a thunderstorm when I was really small. :-)
10. What is your earliest memory of a camp?
My counselors, craft-making, and kayaking at Camp Good News when I was eight.
11. How young were you when you received Christ? (optional)
I received Christ after watching the Jesus Film at two and one-half-years old.

I have below a list of these questions for the bloggers that I nominate. There will be quite a few and after you answer the questions in a post (if you want to) then you may pass on the same questions to a different blogger than has already been nominated if you wish. Have fun!
