Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve we drove to Tulsa and went to my Aunt and Uncle's house to visit and open presents. Here is Emily with my mom, grandma, and cousin Bethany. Matt bought this OSU stocking hat and just had to wear it and Emily kept wanting to wear it herself. (BTW, most everyone on my side of the family are OU fans.) Boooo!

Here's Emily with my sister, Aunt Kaci. Emily was trying to open her new My Little Pony herself. After she opened each of her toy presents she would go up to someone and say 'open'.

My sister made Emily this really cute Abby Cadabby fleece blanket. It's really soft and Emily loves it. She won't share with me when it cold in the house.

Emily was really good about taking everyone their presents, but when she took it to them she started opening their present for them. Here she is trying to open one of Papa's gifts.

Here's Matt in his OSU stocking.

Christmas Day

Ok, I had these in a certain order when I uploaded these and I've done this three times and it keeps getting them all out of order. I'm just going to keep going with these pictures out of order.

We stayed overnight with my parents in Tulsa for Christmas and after we got back home from the trip Matt put all of Emily's big presents together. This is her dollhouse we got her and she is playing with the daddy.
Santa brought Emily a big stuffed My Little Pony. She is really into the ponies now and picks the pony dvd to watch more often than Elmo. This picture was taken at the end of the day and you can tell she was just exhausted.

Here she is again playing with the dollhouse.

Daddy is moving the family into the house.

This video was taken Christmas morning. We all had a very late night and were still sleepy that morning. I think Emily didn't even go to bed until 11:30. Santa brought Emily the new Elmo Live too and this is a video of her playing with it. The video is pretty long but hilarious at the end. At least I think so.

Santa's Reindeers

Well, this is the video from Emily's class that sang 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' for their Christmas program. They had moves to the song and her teacher told me that Emily was the only one that does them. This is a really bad video and we couldn't see Emmy with all of the people there. We had a good view of her until her teacher pulled her to the other side. The little boy at the front walking in is Devon. They are best buds and another girl with blonde hair named Lexi. They are always giving each other hugs and kisses throughout the day. I did see Emily peeking around to see us and she was waving at us too. Hopefully I can get her to do the moves on video here at the house.

Christmas Party

Well, Thursday was Matt's Christmas Party for work and it was at Incredible Pizza. We had a lot of fun, especially Emily. She loved the car game and Ski Ball. She kept throwing the balls up high and was hitting the protective covering. I think Matt even got wacked in the head with a ball.

Shh...Emily's Christmas Present

We got Emily this really cute dollhouse for Christmas. I guess it's not really a surprise since Emily was with us when we were deciding which one to get. Hopefully she won't remember it and will be surprised when she opens it up. We bought the big version of it and it includes some furniture for a few of the rooms. The company sells all of the individual rooms of furniture in seperate sets. So, if anyone is wondering what to get Emily for Christmas just let me know and I can tell you what furniture sets we still need for the dollhouse.

Nooo, Mommy, Nooo

Well, Matt and I have been sick this past week. Matt was sick the first part of the week and then around Thursday I got a sinus infection on the left side of my head. The pain started above my eye and went all the way down to my teeth and I got an ear infection in my left ear. So, it has not been a fun week. I think Matt's all better now but I'm still fighting my stuff. Anyway, I tried to get some pictures of Emily on Sunday but she was not being cooperative. She kept saying Noooooo, Mommy, Noooooo and would put her hand up in front of her face everytime I tried to take her picture. She started crying too so I just gave up. Here is one of the non fuzzy pictures.

Emily and Santa

Emily got to visit with Santa two times in one week. We first went to visit him when my mom was here to watch Emily while Matt and I had to work on a Saturday and then we saw him again this past Friday while Matt's parents were here. The first time she wouldn't sit in his lap and she hung onto me so tight and wouldn't get a picture with him. We talked about going to another mall and getting our picture with a different Santa, but we were already at the mall by our house and decided to try again. She let me put her on Santa's lap and the only hard part was trying to get her to smile. They only take up to three pictures and you have to choose the one you like the best. This was the best out of the three. At least she wasn't screaming her head off in the picture like she did last year. The only thing is that she pooped in her pants right before we went to see him so I hope Santa couldn't smell or feel it. Sorry Santa.


Sunday we went to Wal-Mart after breakfast with Matt's parents and we saw a Santa there. He was all the way at the other end of the store walking down one of the main walkways and Emily saw him coming and started yelling 'Santa'. She started waving at him and he waved back at her. When he got closer he said 'ho, ho, ho, Merry Christmas' and shook her hand. She was so excited and actually said 'bye' to him instead of just waving goodbye like she normally does to people she doesn't know. She is getting so excited about Christmas even though she doesn't understand it. The house is all decorated inside and out and she says 'pretty' when we see a house with their lights on at night. So far she has done pretty good with leaving the ornaments alone. Every once in a while she'll take one off and bring it to me. It's usually one of her Care Bear ornaments or one of Matt's Star Wars ornament.
