Sledding!

We are getting a ton of snow today so when we had about 8 inches of snow, we took Emma out for her first sledding experience.  Since it was still snowing pretty hard we did not stay out to long but Emma loved it.  She cried when I brought her inside.  Now we have 12 inches (and still snowing) so I think there will be enough snow around for many more sledding days.

Run Johnny, Run!

You can't tell it but Emma really did love this.

Getting ready for Christmas!

Since this is Emma's first Christmas we are having fun finding some cute Christmas outfits.  We have been decorating our house and Emma has been a great helper at taking the Christmas decorations off the tree...only 1 broken ornament so far.

 

The Christmas tree is so cool!

 

 

Oops, am I not supposed to touch it?

 

 

 

Like my plaid pants?

Mom's trying to get pictures for Christmas cards.

Giving my best smile.

So big!

I really do love Christmas, it is my first one!

Emma 1st Thanksgiving 2012

For Emma's first Thanksgiving we were in South Dakota.  We had a great time seeing the whole family.  The weekend before Thanksgiving, Emma took her first plane trip.  We flew to Arizona for John's uncle's funneral.  It was very nice to see the extended family of John's mom.  Emma enjoyed being around so many great people and getting to be with Aunt Sarah for a week.

Happy Thanksgiving!
