Playtime in December

12/23- Hunter loves his new rocking horse

12/24- Gran gave Emily an ironing board
and it has kept her very busy. (She has gone to
the dry cleaners with K lots and has apparently learned
the lingo because she'll ask me, "Is this press only?")

Hunter is having fun with his new play mat
from Aunt Megan

Brad and Emily built a gingerbread village, and
just like last year, her favorite part was sampling
the candy. She was more into the decorating this year, too.

12/26- My handsome little man all
dressed up and ready for church

It seems like we just took this picture so I could
document how big our little guy was....and he's
already grown so much since then! (sniffle, sniffle)

12/27- Emily all dressed up in her new Snow White
dress from Santa and her accessories for Mamaw
and Aunt Joyce. The magic mirror talks, and she loves it!
That girl can work it in the high heels, too-- walk, run, whatever!

Her first painting on the new easel from Santa

Santa also left fake fingernails which she loves to
wear. She tells me they make her look like "a lady." :0)
Here she had them on her toes, and I just thought that
was too funny!

12/28- Hunter is still doing great with
his cereal eating! I'm so grateful that we have
a baby who eats this time around!!

Emily loves selling things in her market from Santa.
Chances are, if you buy something, it's going to
cost "2 dollas." :0) She also runs a dry cleaning
business from her market and will wash and press
items for you....usually also for "2 dollas." :0)

12/29- This sweet little grin just melts my heart!
He smiles almost every single time I look at him.
Seriously, he's that happy, and I LOVE IT!

His hands are constantly in his mouth these days.
He likes getting a hold of our knuckles, too!

He's figured out how to get that head waaaaay
back, but he still hasn't figured out how to get
the rest of him to flop over to his tummy.

12/31- All the cousins waiting at Olive Garden
(They were into the movie when I asked for the picture,
so they were actually having more fun than it looks
like in this shot.)
