Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

Christmas eve came on so fast this year! Despite our tree being up and there being presents under the it we had a tough time feeling "Christmas-y" so...we spent the majority of Christmas eve watching Christmas classics like, A Christmas Story, Home Alone, The Santa Clause, etc... It did the trick! By the afternoon we were in much better Christmas spirits!

Our Tree
My new favorite Ornament...Emmie made it at school - I love it!

Emmie and Daddy watching Christmas Movies and snuggling

By the afternoon we were all getting a little stir crazy and decided to go to the park...Emmie insisted on sporting her Dog costume...
Big girl on the big girl swing

Going down the twirly slide

Watching the train go by with Daddy

When we got home we made Santa some cookies

That evening the fam came over to skype with Ceri and John (who were in Mississippi with John's family) so we could all open our pj's together

After opening the pj's Matt and Emmie had some fun with tape
(does this bring back any memories, Heidi? hahahaha)




Christmas Morning we had our own family Christmas first....I think this may be the last year we get to sleep in....we enjoyed it!
Santa brought Emmie a vacuum...she's in love

At Daddoo's, Santa brought Emmie a trike! totally rad!
Emmie insisted on sharing with mommy....
thank you daddoo for capturing such a flattering moment....

Later we went out to brunch - Emmie loved riding the elevator up and down about 50 times



We gave up after 3 takes to try and get a good picture in front of the tree...Emmie was ready to take a nap...so were the rest of us!
