Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas to all! Wishing everyone a safe, healthy and happy holiday!

Four Months!

Wow! How did four months pass by so quickly? Nora is getting so big. At her check-up, Dr. Boyce said she is in the 95% for height. I wonder if she got some of the tall genes in our family. Nora is so alert and doesn't like to sleep much during the day. This is ok because she sleeps alot at night. Nora loves to smile and laugh, especially at Emma. She is such a sweet, cuddly baby!

Visit to Santa

Visiting Santa takes on a whole other meaning when you go with a three year old. When Santa asked if Emma if she had been good, she looked at me with a guilty face. Too funny!

Snow!

I just had to upload and post these picture of the first big snow. I was quickly reminded that it takes longer to bundle up a toddler to go out than they actually spend out in the snow. Oh, well. She was one happy kid today.

THREE!!

It is hard to believe that Emma Katherine Trees is three years old today! The time has flown by quickly. Emma is so bright and happy. She loves to sing and can name a song within the first few beats. She loves to dance, too. Emma loves books, animals, dolls and Princesses. She is always up for some TV time with Dora, Mickey Mouse, Jungle Junction, Olivia or Elmo. Emma loves to go to school and she likes to show you all the neat things she has learned. We are so lucky to have such a happy, healthy little girl. Happy Birthday!! WE LOVE YOU!!!

Emma's Stage Debut

I took Emma to the Indiana State Museum today for her first musical. It was called, "Snowflake Sam and the Best Gift Ever." It was a really cute musical that was a perfect start to the holidays. The cast asked for volunteers throughout the play. Each time, other parents and grandparents pushed their kids up there. Emma patiently waited with her hand raised. At one point, she looked at me and said, "When will it be my turn?" I guess the old saying of "Good things come to those who wait" is very true. Emma got picked to go at the end. Boy, was she thrilled. She ran up there. She even got to keep instrument (a lovely kazoo). I was so proud of her! When the musical was over we made a trip over to Celebration Crossing. We visited with Santa and Mrs. Claus. We also rode on the train and said hello to Raggedy Ann. Oh! I forgot that we made a craft that went along with the musical. We made a quick trip to the Odd Indiana exhibit (very interesting what people give to the museum) and then we headed home. What a great way to start out the holidays!
