Our Christmas Card

The Christmas Card Photo Shoot

Back on November 6th, I took Emily to the garden at First United Methodist, and spent over an hour getting some shots for Christmas cards. Over 200 pictures were made, and luckily, we were able to use a few for Christmas cards :) We had a whole lotta fun though! I haven't posted them until cards went in the mail, and that happened yesterday, so I thought I would share pictures from that day!

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

We got snow last night in Florence! Emily couldn't wait to get outside in it this morning to play! Watch the video above, and you can hear her break out into "Jingle Bells"....so sweet (you might have to turn music off at the bottom of the page). And then, she wanted to know where HoHo was? It's so funny how they associate that with snow :)

Emily's Preschool Christmas Program

This morning was Emily's Preschool Christmas program. And, I'm sure you can imagine, with a stage full of 2 year olds, how it all went down. Some kids would spot Mommy, and start crying. Others, like Emily, just sat there and looked scared to death. And, you always have the one or two who ham it up and put on the show. They were all adorable though, and it was so much fun to see them all up there together. Emily sings the songs perfect at home, but wasn't really into the program (like I said, she looked scared to death on that stage). And when Santa entered the room, it was all over :) There are a couple of videos that you can watch below.

Caught In The Act...

Well... I figured this was going to be our year...the year that Emily would be interested in pulling off ornaments from the tree. I caught her in the act here (you can see the broken one laying on the floor) :) But how can you get upset? She just absolutely loves the trees and the ornaments, and just wants to hold them. Luckily, we don't have very many expensive ornaments, and those are all at the top of the tree!

Sergeant is getting in on the action too :)

So sweet....Emily is reading to her doll about Christmas!

Getting ready for naptime...

The Living Christmas Tree

Our church is performing a Living Christmas Tree over the next two weekends...over 100 singers...so much fun. We got a preview last night, and it is going to be GREAT!!!

Thanksgiving

We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with our families....it just went by too fast. Emily had a blast with all of her cousins.
