Christmas

We had such a great Christmas this year. We celebrated Christmas the 24th because we had an early flight out on the 25.

Emerson is to the age that he is excited for gifts. He loved opening presents, but he didn't want to do them all at once. It would have been my dad's dream Christmas because we would open one and then play with it for a little while before moving one. It was pretty much an all day even...plus he had a few to open after we got home from North Carolina.
He loved sitting on this blanket that Natalie made for him to open and play with all his gifts. It was so cute. If we put it to the side, he would move it onto the blanket.
I hope that all Christmas's turn out being as great as this one was. I have such a great little family to spend it with.

Many Faces of Emerson

I needed some pictures of Emerson for a project that I am working on for Christmas. During the photo shoot I was bribing him with fruit snacks. I thought that it didn't work very well because he was being terrible for the whole thing. However as I was downloading all the pictures to me delight I got a whole series of emotions captured. I think that this is my favorite series of Emerson pictures just for the variety of emotions that I got...though really it was him mad at me most the time. Enjoy the faces of Emerson!

Sunday Best

For Christmas Sunday, I found a suit for Emerson! It was the cutest little thing him walking around the church halls in this sweet little suit.

Christmas Tree

I just love my Christmas Tree. The first thing I do in the morning is run down and turn on its lights so I can see the beauty of it every time I walk down stairs. I is just so fun having it up...which is why it didn't go down until February last year...maybe this year we will make it March! I was really worried about Emerson and the Christmas tree this year, but he has been great. He has one ornament that he is allowed to touch and take off the tree, but that is the only one he is ever interested in.

Every year we try to add some ornament that was an important thing that happened that year. So the most exciting thing that we did this year was our cruise to Alaska. We decided that that is really two important things, so we bought an ornament for both our first cruise and for making it to Alaska. I really love our new additions to our tree!

Isn't that moose the cutest?
