Merry Christmas!!

lil' Santa Claus

stocking stuffers!

she loved sitting in this basket with her stuffed animals!

Emma ate 2 whole brownies.. she was soooo hyper!

Look what I got from Santa!!

We have had a crazy 1st Christmas with Emma and our family!! It has been really fun with lots of games being played, but a whole lot of company in our home! We have had 5 dogs, 1 baby and 8 people trying to sleep under one small roof for a week! Whew!!


It was really special to watch Emma open her presents and look at the lights and be apart of it all! On Christmas Day Emma said "Mama" for the 1st time where it was clear as a bell! She was crawling towards me and it was sooo cute! She is also such a busy body- she crawls around the floor fast and then stops and flails, then does it all over again!


We also had a party for all of our family who live here.. We had a Mexican feast with various types of enchiladas, tamales, real hot hot sauce and too many desserts!! It was a full house, but really fun! We drank lots of eggnog, wine & whiskey!


We are hoping to catch up with the Tices this week and maybe have them over Friday..


Then Sam & Juliette are coming to hang out and celebrate the New Year with all of us!

I loved all my presents this year.. Daniel did a much better job compared to my White Diamonds and zip-off mesh pants I received last year.. no offense to those of you who like White Diamonds.. (I think it smells like an old lady perfume).

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and were able to celebrate it with family & friends!
