Holiday Season



















So I have been too busy enjoying the holiday season and busy running around to update the blog. I will try to catch everyone up on our wonderful holiday season.

We kept Emery busy, or vice versa, skipping around to one holiday party after another. We had our first, of hopefully many, christmas tot's party with all of Emery's friends. The tots decorated sugar cookies, had a ornament exchange, packed toy donation boxes and had a ton of fun playing with all of Emery's toys.

Emery has taken over the living area as her play room. She received a kitchen, a piano and a tea table for christmas. She has so much fun going from one toy to another. Her Godfather also made her a beautiful baby cradle, which she attempts to climb into and rock herself. Christmas was so much fun this year and we loved spending time with all our wonderful family and friends. Cousin Liam was here and Emery tryed to keep up but he is a very busy boy and his cooking skills are a little advanced compared to Emery's. He also decided he had squatter's rights over her pink house and refused to let her enter:) He made up for it later by toting her around in his black truck.

Emery is definitely entering a new developmental stage. She wants to be more independent and is very strong willed (to put it nicely) when she decides she doesn't want to do something. Her favorite word is "No" but drawn out when spoken and spoken with the authority of a thirteen year old girl. She is also very silly and still loves to give big hugs and kisses. She can repeat almost anything but the cutest words are happy, please and bubbles. We could not be more blessed and we thank everyone for being part of our lives. We thank the good Lord for all the wonderful people in our lives and all the goodness he has gifted us.

Happy 2011 to all and we know it will be a great year with many blessings, health, love and family above all.
