Fun Filled Week

Boy, we crammed a lot in this past week. Emma had a great week at school. One day was "Pajama and Movie Day" at her school. She was very excited to wear her "sleeping coat" (this is what she calls her button down pajamas) and got to take her Elmo movie. She got to see Santa at school. Emma wasn't so sure about Santa, but when her friend Paige got up there, she did at least sit on his lap. The look on their faces tells all. Friday, we went to Zoo Lights at the Indianapolis Zoo. I thought it was beautiful. Emma was most excited to see the penguins.

She hasn't stopped talking about them. Today we are off to see Grandma Imy to celebrate an early Christmas. I realized we need to get some gifts wrapped because Christmas will be here SOON!

Holly Jolly Days

Oh, what fun it is to... dig for dinosaurs, go ice fishing, whip down the Yuleslide, bake lettuce. We did all these things at the Holly Jolly Days at the Children's Museum. I think Emma could have dug for dinosaur bones all day. That is always her favorite part. For me, I could have gone down the big slide many more times. Emma was hysterical in the "baking room" as she so carefully placed the fake lettuce in the muffin pans and "baked" it. She told us, "I cooked the salad!" Holly Jolly Days is well worth the trip!

Happy Second Birthday, Emma Katherine!

I can't believe Emma is two!! We had a fabulous Elmo birthday party in honor of the birthday girl. Check out the Elmo cake made by Momo. It was awesome. My niece, Hannah, said it best, "It looks like a real Elmo!" Emma received many fun gifts. She loves her new piano the best (Thanks Auntie Amy and Uncle "Gook"). Emma loves telling people she is two, but can't quite hold up two fingers. She does sing the birthday song very well. We are going to have a little celebration tonight on her "actual" birthday. My nephew, Carter, says you should have a gift on your "actual" birthday. I am ready to celebrate again because birthdays are BIG! Love you Emma!!
