Christmas Morning

Yea, yea...I know I am way behind.

Our Christmas morning was fun. Santa splurged and get Emma and Lucy the kitchen Emma has been asking for. Along with the kitchen, Emma also got everything on her list: an umbrella, a pizza, and a tinkerbell thing. I love the picture of her with her umbrella (see below). You can just see the joy on her face when Santa listened and delivered!

Most memorable moment was having Emma walk in and wonder "Mom...did you buy me this kitchen?" "No, Emma - don't you remember what today is?" "Mom....did Santa buy me this kitchen?!!!!"

Lucy was still a little too young to understand exactly what was happening, but she is dang cute - don't you think?

You have never seen a three year old more enthused with the Christmas spirit than Emma was this year (to this day the only songs she sings are Christmas songs!) She talked about Santa, the elves, baby Jesus, jingle bells, Christmas trees, candy canes - literally NON-STOP. It was amusing to me that the morning of the day she had been so anticipating she had completely forgot what was going on!
To truly illustrate Emma's Christmas spirit, watch below:

Emma's Christmas Dance Recital

There have been a few events since I have posted, what with Christmas and all, so I have to take you back a ways - to the third Friday night in December....



Emma's first ever dance recital!



Emma has been in a little dance class this fall with her friend Aspen. She is learning the basics of tap and jazz. I was a little nervous about her recital because the last "show" she did - well - it didn't go so well. But, she was really great in her show. She found her sticker on the floor and danced her little booty off. She was great and we were very proud of her.
