On Christmas Eve we went to Playmobil Fun Park during the day. The kids had so much fun playing with all the Playmobil toys.

On Christmas Eve we went over to my mom's house and had Chinese food for dinner. Then we had our traditional open one present which is always matching pj's!!!! When we got back home we left cookies and milk for Santa. Our sweet little girl decided she needed a snack and stole Santa's cookie!!!! It was really cute.

I love my new bear

Christmas Day

This is what our house looked like after Santa left. It is a good thing we put away all the old toys. We needed room for all the new toys!!!!! Thanks Santa, Papa, and Momma & Dadda!!! Look at all those new toys!

Santa was good to Emily

Opening her 1st present

Christmas morning we spent time at home so Emily could open her presents from Santa and us. Some of the toys Emily received were a kitchen from my dad, a stroller, pack n play, & swing with baby doll from Santa, and from us she got some puzzles and a Little People fair set. She was a joy to watch open presents. She came down stairs in the morning and wanted to play with all her new toys before she opened any presents. She would open a present and want to play with it before she would open something else. It was a long process but well worth her enjoying herself!!!! While we were opening presents my dad stopped by. I was glad he was able to see her opening presents too. She was so cute because when he got here she has to show him all her new toys. She did not leave any out either!!!!

I love my new baby

I should be in here

After we opened presents at our house we went to my mom's house to open more presents. Things were a little crazy with 4 kids so I wasn't able to get very many good pictures. Here is one of Emily with Mimi opening her gift from the Frawley family.

The day after Christmas

The day after Christmas we went to the beach for a little while. Emily really enjoyed playing in the sand. This is the 1st time she actually enjoyed it. She also enjoyed picking up shells. After Emily had a nap we went back to my mom's house for dinner. We ran out of time on Christmas day to open our stockings so after dinner was round 2 of opening presents. The kids went on our traditional treasure hunt for the stocking. Another late night for Emily. Enjoying the sand

Day 1 of Tara's visit

My sister, Tara and her family are here visiting for Christmas. They came in early Monday morning. I will be posting lots of pictures while she is here so check back for updates!!! Yesterday we just hung out at my mom's house. They just got some calves and the kids really enjoy running around with them. They are having so much fun playing together.

Last night we went to dinner with my dad and then went to my cousin Kate and her fiances house for dessert and spent sometime with my dad's side of the family. The kids had a great time running around outside and playing football with Jeremy. It is always nice to see all of them. Emily is already tired out and we still have 9 days with them!

Stroller Strides Christmas Party

Last Wednesday we had our Stroller Strides Christmas Party. The kids had a great time playing together while we had a cookie and ornament exchange. There were so many good cookies!!!! We also had a raffle. I won a day pass for the Children's Museum and a free appetizer for a local restaurant. We really had a good time.Playing!!!

Look at all those cookies.

Emily really likes to Tinker with things!!!

Keegan's Birthday Party

Today we went to my friend Danyelle's daughter's birthday party (Keegan). It was at the park and Emily had so much fun. They had a pinata, lots of food, and cake. This really was the 1st time Emily has played at the park. She was making Keith & I so nervous!!!! She loved the swing bridge and the slide. Lots of our friends from MOPS were there. Emily's friend Julia was also there. I was able to see some old friends I use to work with also. Thanks Danyelle and Keegan for a great day at the park, Happy Birthday Keegan!!!!

Whee!

The swing bridge was a big hit

All the kids!!!!

Company Picnic

On Saturday we had Keith's 8th Annual Company Picnic. Emily had a blast. She was running all over the place. She was dancing all day too. She had her 1st taste of a snow cone, cotton candy, and funnel cake. She was on a sugar high! Daddy finally decided to take her in the bounce house. We really had a hard time getting her out. She had sooooooo much fun. It was worth the drive to Ft Lauderdale since Keith won a Visa gift card from a safety prize. Emily and I will enjoy shopping !!!!! Thanks Daddy for being safe!!!!

Santa

Friday Lindsey and I took the girls to sit on Santa's lap! Emma wanted nothing to do with Santa and cried. Emily did not cry but she would not smile for anything! I got a few good pictures but she is not smiling!!!!!

Emma & Emily

Ok, maybe a little smile

Zoo

Today we decided not to brave the mall and instead go to the zoo. I think everyone had the same idea!!!! The zoo was very crowded today. We went with my friend Michelle and her son James. We have not seen them since the summer. It was so good to see them again. James & Emily had a good time together at the zoo. We really miss seeing them now that Michelle is back at work. We are looking forward to seeing them again soon.
