Happy Valentine's Day!!

Nathan just learned how to stick his tongue out :) So I suspect it's going to start happening in lots of photos in the near future ;) 

Pretty sure he had enough of big sister today. She just loves on him so much. I think today might mark his first tell off...she was getting near him and he screamed and then looked away from her at one of us with a HELP look, lol. Poor little guy... everyone said that the newness would wear off... NOT AT ALL. 

Happy Valentine's Day Folks!

Easter Morning :)

Wow there are EGGS everywhere!!! 

 Look at all this stuff...

 I'm the Emilie Bunny... and look there is a mommy bunny ;)

Wow chocolate! 

Easter chick :) Yay!

I was sure spoiled by that bunny. Not only did I get some money in the eggs he hide, but I also got all kinds of toys and candy! Thank you big ole bunny for stopping in! See you next year!

HOPPY Easter!

 YAY! Easter is here! 

This is so much fun!

Okay now where is my candy?

Decorating Eggs!

Tomorrow is Easter so it's time to decorate some eggs!! We are getting ready! 

First we have to measure out some water and vinegar. 

Then we add in the coloring and wait..... 

Now they are ready to dip! 

 

Then take them out... 

Look at all the pretty colors... but I think they are boring still... 

They need STAMPS! 

ALL DONE!

Mommy made some special ones :) 

Christmas Pictures

For the record trying to get a toddler to sit for a picture in a house full of toys is almost impossible it seems.... so here is what we got :) Dressed in her Christmas Dress in front of the Christmas Tree and in a big ole pile of wrapping paper :)

The Holiday Train :)

We went to see the Holiday Train awhile ago...mommy is just being slow at getting the video and pics put up in the blog...

 Waiting for the Train :) 

The Train is COMING!

 

Daddy and I watching the show... LOOK Santa was on the train! Well one of his helpers that is... how cool was that!

Mommy and I posing in front of the train... it was COLD... it was time to go HOME and get WARM! 

SANTA CAME!

Looks like SANTA CAME :) Emilie asked Santa for a Red Present :) So looks like he dropped off TWO for her :) 

She however skipped the red ones and went right to biggest one there was :) 

 Finally she got curious as to what Santa brought :) 

Here she is unwrapping it :)

 Her face once she knew what it was :) 

 Daddy got a new ski mask for biking :) 

 Emilie got a new book of family pics since she lost her old one in the flood

I don't think she's spoiled at all...
She was not thrilled with the clothes I got her this year... and the whole ipod not working this morning ruined getting her excitement on camera of Santa Coming, but I think we still managed a great Christmas :)  Now mommy needs to find a place for her new embroidery machine :)

Ready For Santa :)

Look at me all ready in my santa, penguin, snowman, and tree jammies :) Santa is coming tonight and I've had far too much sugar today! Lets see how sleeping goes, lol :) He might  have to be really really sneaky to get his presents in this house !

CHEESE!

I learned a Christmas Song this year :)

Alright we set out the gingerbread house and some juice... ready for Santa to come! 

Gingerbread House!

So after mommy realized she bought the WRONG kind of "gingerbread" house (I bought a chocolate mold) and frantically went around trying to find any store that had one left she found a cute kit to make a village of houses... so Daddy, Mommy and I each got to make our OWN for Santa :) Playing with sugary treats is FUN! Especially when mommy taught me frosting fingers ;) hehehe we dipped our frosting covered fingers in SPRINKLES... and ate it all up... YUM!

Our Tree :)

Look our tree is up and all penguined up :)

Oh and check me out wearing the santa socks!

Fireworks!

Happy July 4th!! Here we are waiting for the fireworks to start 

Then this is after they started :) 

Christmas Morning

Emilie Christmas morning :)

Here's our tree after mommy and daddy put their presents under there and santa added a few :)


Here's Emilie seeing the tree for the first time. It helps when she sleeps in and mommy and daddy are up waiting for her :)



Em checking out the chalkboard :) Santa brought it for her!



The stalkings all filled and ready for opening :)



Kitties found a special item in their stalkings too :)




Hey check this out!

She's checking to make sure it's nice and empty before moving on to the things under the tree :)

Sorry this is so dark...but really the talking is what you need to experiance :)
So pretty much after every item we heard...can you open it...lol...




Jason found a penguin in his stalking :)


After we convinced her to unwrap the stalkings we moved on to the presents under the tree :)






Then like every present she unwrapped she had to go do something with it first :) lol...this one the baby needed to leave apparently...kind of convenient though since she brought it to her room :)



More unwrapping...but did have her do some tag reading first...check out the next video :)

So the first one she grabbed I showed her it said EM and that meant it for Emilie. She looks mighty impressive in this video like she's reading it...but then...

Would love to claim she could read them...but the rest of the morning went the same...EVERY tag read EM...lol :)

She unwrapped dress up clothes...so she had to try on the shoes :) Then walk on the kitchen floor with them. I think I have a girly girl in the works...which means I'm in trouble!


Here's the baby gear she got :) She loves it! It was pretty much the toy of choice most of the day. First we fed the baby, then walked the baby, then the baby napped, etc :)



Merry Christmas everyone :) It was a nice relaxing day topped off with ordering in! I love it!
