Merry Christmas etc.

Things have been a bit crazy around here lately! I went on a work trip to Disneyland for a couple days, and it was Emmy Daddy time while I was gone!!! They had a great time together, of course. What's not to love about Daddy time? Daddy's are way more fun than that tired and nauseated Mommy!!!

A few happenings around here, Emmy had a birthday, and I have not yet

posted pictures. Its on my list to do, but I need to download the pictures still. I know, procrastination! She got lots of fun toys, and had a small party with family. Here is a picture of her with her favorite friend from her birthday. She got this Mickey from Peepaw, and just loves him, he goes everywhere with her!!!

Aunt Nanny sends so much fun stuff for Emmy. Here are a couple pictures of some of the fun things. At Halloween she sent a bunch of orange and pumpkin stuff, and for some reason Emmy loves these pumpkin slippers. She can't walk on our hard floors without sliding all over, but she still loves to put them on and try to walk around in them!

I think she loves that she can put them on herself too, she is obsessed with trying to dress herself lately. She will go in her room and get all the piles of clean folded clothing, bring them into the front room and spend the next hour trying to dress herself with them. Its too funny, Daddy calls it fashion show, even though she is rarely successful at actually getting dressed. I'm all for the independence though!!!

This next picture is of the gingerbread house Nanny and Grams Fae sent for Christmas! Emmy had so much fun putting it together for FHE! The directions say you have to let the house sit for 15 minutes after putting the walls up, and that was hard for Emmy to do. She was so excited to decorate it! She loved it. Thanks so much Nanny and Grams!!! It was so fun to do!

Yes, Emmy is licking her fingers. Although that icing does not look the least appealing to me, she couldn't keep her fingers out of her mouth!

Emmy loves anything that has to do with Christmas, which is really good for me, cause I have the tendency to be a bit of a scrooge when it comes to Christmas. I love the meaning of the holiday, and all the traditions, I just dislike the crowds and how everyone is extra stressed, and everyone in the malls, on the roads, etc. are just plain rude to each other. Emmy is a good reminder of the good about the holidays to me. Every time she hears Christmas music, sees lights, spots someone sporting a Santa hat, or sees a Christmas tree she comes right up to my face and says 'dats Cismiss Momma, dats Cismiss (Christmas)'. Its cute, and definitely puts everyone in a better mood around here.

Hope you all have happy holidays! We sure will! Merry Christmas!!!!!!

So that gingerbread house looks oddly familiar! Oh and that frosting reminded me of toothpaste so I wouldn't even try it. Ick! So now, regarding Gilmore Girls. I never followed it when it was actually on TV. Then one of my girlfriends told me that our library rents them out by the season. So a few months ago I rented the first season and the rest it history. I just finished watching season 7 a few weeks ago and I still get teary eyed thinking it is actually over. I think Mark felt so bad for me and was trying to get me out of my post Gilmore Girls funk that he caved and bought it. Now I feel my life is compete. I can't wait to ignore my chores (and my children!) and watch ever episode again!! I am afraid I will never find another show to replace it. Sigh!
