Lazy Days After Christmas....

The last few days have been lazy days at home, playing with all the new toys that Emily got for Christmas, and looking forward to ringing in 2010!!!

Emily's pretty new bedding from Nana and Papa Clark. We are getting ready to paint the room...Emily's choice = Pink of course!!! And, I was so excited...after shoving the bed to the side of the room, the massive tent fit in her bedroom....YEA!!!!!

Christmas Day | 2009

Santa was here.....

Christmas Morning....very exciting at our house. Emily woke around 7:30ish, walked into the living room, and just stood for a few seconds taking it all in with a HUGE grin on her face. That is the best moment on Christmas morning...experiencing the excitement of a 3 year old! Santa left TONS of new toys. We had a great, quiet day at home playing with all of Emily's new things. Mom and Dad came for a little visit to see what Santa had left for Emily. We spent the day playing, watching lots of Christmas movies and eating some yummy food!!! It is my most favorite day of the year!!!

Christmas Eve | Part 2

Next stop in Jasper was an afternoon with the Myers Family. We began with gifts, and it is always a wild time because there are so many of us. Emily and Peyton enjoyed playing with all their new toys and had a great time playing with some of Rebecca's too :) We had lots of yummy food after we opened presents!!! Another fun Christmas Eve was had by all.

Christmas Eve | Part 1

We headed to Jasper bright and early Christmas Eve day for Brunch with The Clark family! We had some delicious food, and then had a blast opening lots of presents. Emily and Clark got some great new toys, and it was fun to watch them play with each others. Emily loved Clark's Spike the Dinousaur, and Clark enjoyed playing with Emily's new ironing board. It was a great morning!!!

A few "SWEET" pics...

Back in November, Emily and I went out to take pics for Christmas cards. I ended up using beach photos for the card, but these are very cute pictures of her, and I wanted to share them!
