Christmas Play

Emily's school had their Christmas program Tuesday night. It was the cutest thing. Especially since they let the baby class participate. 

Precious.

She was hanging out in her stroller beside her BFF Clare Miller, I swear those two are always together!
She even got to sit on Santa's lap and she did great! She was a little curious as to who was under that beard but she definitely wasn't scared.

It's the Holiday Season!

Thanksgiving has come and gone...and Christmas is creeping near! What a fun and busy time. We are so blessed.

We spent Thanksgiving at Blaine's parents' house. My parents came and so did our friends Chandler and Kelley Adams and their kiddos. It was really fun!

My dad taught Emily to open the drawers in her room and now when I put her down she wants to get them open. So fun to watch her be so curious. 

She had fun trying on his hat too. I'm pretty sure there is a picture of me as a little one just like this too...I'll have to find it at my parents'.

We've thought about doing other Christmas things like parades and tree lighting but that just doesn't fit into an infant's sleeping and eating schedule so we've not really done anything.  Maybe we can ride around and look at Christmas lights one night.  Emily has been dressing up in her Christmas cutest though.

Blaine and I have had a chance to sneak out to a couple of parties thanks to the grandparent babysitters. Sleeping for Emily hasn't been great so she was a bit of a challenge for them but we all survived and maybe someday we'll get some sleep. I swear once she turned 6 months old its like she woke up all of a sudden. *sigh* I guess with the runny nose and teething its to be expected.

I'm not nearly as ready as I should be for Christmas. I actually thought I had an extra weekend but just found out I was wrong. Ugh. Guess we'll go shopping between naps and feedings :)
