Merry Christmas!
Santa has come! Yeah! He even ate the cookies and drank the milk.
Wow, look at all the presents!
Look, Santa brought the purple bear that Emma asked for!
And a princess piggy bank!
A new tradition. Kevin and I are going to write a
Christmas card to our children each year and tell them why they are so special to us.
Emma doesn't really appreciate it now, but someday she will.
Oooohh, a pick necklace!
Look Abby, paints!
Emma loves cooking!
A Grinch, this will go great in her room!
A box of dress up outfits! Emma loves to be a pretty princess! Daddy too!
Now it is our turn to open presents. Notice Emma laying by Kevin when she realizes that all her presents have been unwrapped.
Look, baby Jesus has come! This nativity scene was my Christmas present from my mother and I just love it!! We left baby Jesus out of the scene until His birthday. Every day Emma would look to see if baby Jesus was born. We were so excited to show her that he had been born!
What a great Christmas. It so much fun being the mommy and watching Emma open presents. I love starting new traditions and continuing with old traditions.
I probably shouldn't post this picture and I'm sure Emma will be so embarrassed one day that I took these. This picture is the result of "me do it all myself". She has her panties on inside out and she put both legs through a leg hole! For some reason she hasn't figured out to keep her panties on around her ankles when she goes to the potty, she likes to take them off completely. It is so weird to have to teach our children these little things. Doesn't anything come naturally?
