Christmas Photoshoot

On Saturday Doug & Denise did a family photoshoot for us, and the pictures turned out great!  We have the best neighbors ever.

Last time we got pictures the photographer commented on how we didn't coordinate, so this time I worked hard to get coordinating outfits.  I ordered the sweater and bow for Emmery online, and they came the night before- just in time! The bow was a lot bigger than I expected, but turned out cute :)

I'm planning on framing this one!

Denise had gotten two candy canes for us to make a heart with.  However, once Emmery got a lick she couldn't stop and ended up getting red sticky stuff everywhere!  Guess she'll have her Mom's sweet tooth :)

Emmery is loving finger foods, especially graham crackers.  And when she had canned tangerines this week at school, her teacher said that she kept sucking on each slice and saying, "Mmmmmm" :)

Little Miss Em is now 37 weeks old.

A Christmas date

This weekend was Jamison's work Christmas party.  We were really looking forward to a date night and Christmas shopping in Denver, while Emmery was looking forward to staying overnight at Grandpa Tom and Grandma Jean's.
Unfortunately I got the 24hr stomach flu Friday night :(  We decided to still go to the party Saturday night, although instead of going out to dinner before the party, we took a nap in the hotel.  After the party we called it a night, and it is a good thing we did because Jamison got the stomach flu Saturday night :( Not quite the romantic weekend we were planning on!

Emmery has also been dealing with stomach issues- she went through 4 outfits at daycare on Friday and ended up coming home in her diaper and a jacket!
However, she had a great time visiting her grandparents this weekend and also got to see Uncle Johnny and Aunt Amanda for a few hours!  Grandpa Tom showed her how to climb up the stairs and Grandma Jean read her a fun Christmas book.

Christmas season is here!

On Saturday we went to Kelly's house and Emmery got to play with Mason, Carter, and Landon (although Landon doesn't have much interest in her).

Here she is with Mason.  He is one month older than her, and both of them spent a majority of their time just chewing on toys :)  Mason is a very happy and social baby.

Carter is so cute with Emmery.  He gives her hugs and plays with her.

We are happy that December and Christmas season are here!  Emmery wore her new Santa outfit from Grammy Debbie (and Grandpa Jeff) for her 35 week old pictures.  She didnt want to keep her bow on until I showed her how cute she looked in the mirror :)

Today we got a tree and put up our Christmas decorations!  Something about a Christmas tree- it always makes you feel happier.
