Merry Christmas

What an amazing Christmas we had. Christmas Eve we spent at home with just the four of us. It was great. We made cookies, had a nice dinner and then relaxed. Emma was so excited to put out the reindeer food and cookies for Santa. We woke up around 7:30 on Christmas day and the look on Emma's face when we got downstairs which just priceless. She opened all her presents from Santa and then Mommy and Daddy and then we heard a knock on the door. To Emma's surprise there stood Santa. At first she didn't know what to do but then she sat right down next to Santa and opened all the presents he brought in his sack. After Santa left we got ready for a busy day with family. We had our entire family over for Christmas lunch. It was so nice to have everyone in the same place this year and to see Emma open all the gifts and enjoy all of her family. Once everyone left Emma just relaxed and played with all her new toys and then it was off to bed. It was a great Christmas, one that we will never forget. Thank you everyone for all the nice things you bought for Emma. We love you all. A special thank you to Santa!

Emma and Abbey

I just wanted to share some pictures of my 2 favorite little girls. Emma and Abbey. Last night we had Abbey and Jeff over for our Christmas exchange. Emma was so excited to see Abbey. The way she looks at Abbey just makes me want to cry. There is something very special about Abbey that Emma sees and it is amazing. As soon as she walked in the door Emma had this sparkle in her eye like nothing I have ever seen. Abbey is very special to me because she is my 1st goddaughter and to know that she is that special to my daughter just brings so much joy to me. We don't get to see Abbey very often but when we do see her, we love every minute of it. Abbey is such a wonderful little girl and we LOVE her to pieces. Abbey I want you to know that seeing you with Emma and how helpful you are with her makes be a very proud Godmother. Your a terrifc kid.

Rockin around the Christmas Tree

This past weekend Emma attended her 2nd Annual Kids X-Mas party at the PACC. She had lots of fun, and was singing and dancing with all the other kids. This Christmas party is one I attended every year as a child, and then when I was to old to attend I would volunteer. It is so nice to share these same traditions with Emma. Attached is a video of her at the party. Enjoy!

The count down is on!

Only 4 more days until Santa arrives. I can not wait. Emma is already so excited, I can't imagine what Christmas Day will bring. We will be having our entire family at our house for Christmas Dinner on Christmas Day so everyone will be able to share in Emma's Christmas experience. My dad will be dressing up as Santa for Emma which will be really cool, to see the look on her face when she realizes that Santa is in her house, and giving gifts just to her. I will share pictures after the holiday. We hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and gets everything they want. Love to you all.

Here, we've only got one rule, Never ever let it cool!

All aboard! All aboard!Tickets please, tickets Well, you coming? Where? Why to the North Pole of course. Last night we took our second annual ride on the Polar Express. Last year was our first ride and it was a wonderful experience but this year was just absolutely amazing. Emma had the best time ever. She sat and had hot chocolate, with nice warm chocolate chip cookies. She was so excited to see Santa and receive her very own bell from his sleigh. Mommy and Daddy had a great time as well singing Christmas carols, and enjoying our time as a family with the best little girl in the whole wide world.

Thanksgiving Weekend

Emma had a great Thanksgiving and a wonderful weekend. We spent Thanksgiving at Robert's parents and then ended the day with a visit to my parent's. Emma was so good all day, and really enjoyed her thanksgiving meal, although she didn't eat much turkey she at least gave it a try. On Friday Emma and I spent the day decorating our house for Christmas. She was so cute, and actually a really big help. Saturday we headed back to Robert's parents for another family get together, and then Emma spent the night at Nonna and Gramp's so Mommy and Daddy could go out. Sunday Emma headed to Edaville Railroad with Tia and Uncle Nate. She had a great time and was such a good girl for them. Here are some picture's from our holiday weekend.
