Emma played and played and danced and sang- she is beautiful!

Jesus' Birthday Cake, Delicious!

Emma blows out the candles and had a great time doing it. I am pretty sure she thought Christmas was her birthday! We explained St. Nic and Jesus' birthday. She was so cute. She can almost say Baby Jesus and of course she loved the nativity sets everywhere. They are great to play with. In fact at one point baby Jesus went missing. We asked Emma where he was, she shrugged her shoulder and said, "I don't know." Thankfully, we found him in drawer later.

Emma loved her Cozy Coupe. She can't quite get around in it yet, but she loved sitting in it watching the train go around the tree saying, "Choo Choo." Of course she was in the car with her pink princess purse, tiara, and princess heels. Daddy is ready for Kolbe and some blue. 

Mommy and Kolbe are doing great and lookin good. 

Nana and Pops got "matching" aprons from Emma, she is so thoughtful. I think Mommy, Daddy, Emma, and Mommy's "excuse" Kolbe thought new aprons would inspire baking- "cookies... cookies... yum yum."

Christmas Eve dinner with Anthony and Sheena.

Mommy reads the Nativity Story before the Vigil Mass.

  We enjoyed a very nice visit with the Johnson family in Memphis. Pete, Repete (Dan), and Threepete (Matt) had some fun together. Most of all Emma had fun playing with her uncles and grandparents. 

What fun uncles...

Emma was excited to see Santa, it was a different story when it came to getting a picture with him.

Emma played with Mac, Sam and Kate...

Grammy and Emma...

The family

Daddy and Emma were able to have a day out while Mommy spent the day cooking with the girls. We played on the carousel, had cookies, and played in the mechanical car. 

ohhhhh!

Wow- the whole cookie at once! yum

Cute! Watch out Stephen...

We went a few weeks ago to pick out a Christmas tree on a  day that felt like we were back in the north.  

Here is the family. We were having a little fun trying to get a good Christmas photo for our cards. I guess it is just as likely to have snow indoors, as it is out, down here in Alabama.
