Merry Christmas!

Christmas Morning!

We had a wonderful Christmas. What a wonderful joyous season! Here are pictures of Emma opening her presents. It's hard to get them amidst all the fun chaos. The first one is her finding her Santa toys. She was a little too tired to be really excited. She definitley got more into the whole present thing though! So fun!

 

 

 

 

Christmas Trip to Mesquite

 

We had a really fun trip to Mesquite this year for Christmas. We were there for about a week. I was able to see my sister and her cute baby whom I haven't seen since Emma was a baby. We had a great time expet my poor Emma was so sick! She handled it like a trooper though and still mangaed to have a fun time!  Here are some fun pictures!

The Rest of Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a pretty good rest of the weekend besides coming down with colds. On Friday we hung out at home, did some chores, decorated the Christmas tree and I rested some becasue I could feel a cold coming on.

 

 

Then, on Saturday we left for Ft. Collins to get our family pictures taken for Christmas cards and do some other shopping and errands. I felt awful, but I did what needed to be done and enjoyed time with my family. We went to lunch at Panera Bread,  had pictures taken at JCPenney's, went to Home Depot, Wal-Mart, Sams Club, and Toys R Us. We also went to this really awesome frozen yogurt place in Loveland called Menchies. Its a fro yo bar where you get to choose all of your toppings and yogurt. It was pretty fun for us small town folk.

 

 



Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a wonderful low key Thanksgiving this year. We were invited to eat with some friends the Mills. They have 4 great kids that Emma loves to play with. In the morning we decorated for Christmas a little bit. I made a couple of dishes to take over and just relaxed. Then, we headed to the Mills for a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. After we ate, we hung out, visited, played games, and then ate some pie. Robert and I were planning to head over to Laramie that night to hit some awesome Thanksgiving deals at Wal-Mart. It was the craziest I've ever seen, but ended up being really fun and we got some great deals! The Mills were great and offered to watch Emma for us. We picked her up late and she was fast asleep. We had a really fun day with lots of memories!
