Christmas in a nutshell!

I can't believe that Christmas has already come and gone!!! We had a WONDERFUL Christmas in Missouri with my family. We were there for a full week... which was such a vacation for me because my mom and sisters took care of Emma the WHOLE time! It was such a treat:)
Christmas Eve we went to my parent's church's candlelight service. We took Emma into the service with us... she did pretty good for the most part:) She was pretty quiet up until a solo during the candlelighting part.. towards the middle of the solo the man held a note very long and very high. Emma had been sitting on my lap reading a book and as soon as he started hitting that certain high and long note her head whipped up and her eyes got really wide...and then she started singing....and singing....and singing and singing:) She sang a high and long note just like him.... I tried "shushing" her... then I put in her binky...then I covered her mouth with my hand... all while she was singing this note:) It was so funny!!! It was Emma's first church solo:)
Christmas day was spent at my mom and dad's home. Emma was spoiled ROTTEN! One of her favorite toys was a dolly from us and her other favorite toy was a GIANT stuffed monkey from her Uncle Tim and Aunt Kaitlin:)
We have so much to be thankful for this Christmas... our sweet Emma...our other sweet baby... God is good! Most importantly we are thankful for the gift of Jesus Christ. I hope everyone had a great Christmas! Have a safe and Happy New Years!



Christmas Eve

Peeking at the presents! I let her touch all the presents under the tree before she went to bed on Christmas Eve:) (she wasn't allowed to touch ANY of them up until then!)

Opening her stocking on Christmas morning! Yay for My Little Ponies:)

Good! Glad you are not sick. That would not be fun. Zach and I are thinking we are going to start trying soon, so I am looking to you for inspiration! :) We will be at church on Sunday, and Ella is still in B. She is crawling and pulling up like crazy, but they keep telling us to bring her there???? We're thankful though because we love them! I'm sure she will be up there soon enough though.
