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!

Thanksgiving

Nora got to meet her cousins, Hannah and Cole this past Thanksgiving holiday (Uncle Luke and Aunt Amy, too). She thought they were pretty neat. Hannah had a lot of fun making her laugh. Cole would cruise in and say, "Baby!" or "Nora!" and then cruise on out. It was great to see the Pridgeon Family. We are looking forward to our visit to Orlando to see you guys and Mickey! I had to post this picture of the girls in their turkey shirts and bows. Now on to a big birthday and Christmas. As Emma would say, "Hippie!"

Three Months

I can't believe Miss Nora is already three months old. They grow up way too fast. Nora has a big personality and is smiling all the time. She has learned how to "talk" to us, too. She figured out if she does it at the dinner table, she gets alot of attention. Nora is also squealing and laughing. That is the best. She loves her big sister and dogs. She sees them and laughs. We are very lucky to have such a happy healthy girl!

"It's Gonna Make a Big Snow Tomorrow."

Only Emma can describe the first snow of the season so well.

Poof!

Emma LOVED Halloween this year. She asked several times each day of October, "Is it time to Trick or Treat?" She was overly excited. Nora didn't seem to care too much. The pictures say it all.
