Snowy Days

We've had a snowy week. Emerson loves being out in the cold and especially loves when the snow is falling down on her. Tonight, we went over to her grandparents for some sledding fun. Em was a little puff ball in her snowsuit, but Kenzie held on tight to her on the sled. Making snow angels proved a little more difficult as did trying to stand if she fell, but it was a fun time!

One Year Pictures

For Emerson's 1st birthday, we ended up having two sets of pictures taken. The first ones turned out great, but we realized that we didn't get any full length ones, so we decided to have a few more taken. Unfortunately, we don't have the first set digitally, but here are some from the second ones we had taken.

Birthday Parties

January has been full of parties. This year, we were able to go to Kate's Dora Fiesta. We missed her first birthday because Emerson was too little, but she had a blast helping Kate turn 2! I'm sure Kate appreciated Emmy's assistance in breaking in all of her new toys!

Last weekend, Emerson's cousin, Katie, turned 4. While Ben was busy helping to clean up, Em decided to hide out in a box. You can't be forced to vacuum if you can't be found!

One Year Old!

Our little baby is now a year old! Emerson spent her birthday relaxing and hanging out with Mommy. When Daddy got home from work, we all went shopping and to CPK where she had more than her share of delicious pita bread. Her biggest gift from us was a play kitchen which she loved. She even made pancakes and eggs for her daddy for breakfast the next morning!

On New Year's Day, we had a few friends and family over for a little birthday celebration. This time, she was more willing to enjoy some cake. She got lots of wonderful gifts including clothes, a slide (which Kate taught her the best way to go down was head first!) and a chair of her own that she was happy to share with her dollies.
