Frozen

We started a new tradition Christmas night and headed to the movies! Justin, Whitney & Colt invited us to watch the new Disney movie Frozen. It was Emmy's first time at the movies! We were a little nervous to see how she would do, but she did great! And the movie was fantastic!

 

Christmas Memories

 Everyone told us last year, "just wait for Emmy's next Christmas, it will be so fun!" Boy were they right. :) We had such a wonderful time celebrating with her this year...her smiles, her laughs, how excited she got over the wrapping paper and boxes alone! It was priceless.... We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas too and we wish you the Happiest New Year! Here are a few of our favorite Christmas memories from this year. Enjoy :)

Last weekend we had a chance to visit Santa and boy was it memorable!  :) We had 2 different people taking pictures so that we could hopefully get at least one good one. We'll start with the best one...and then show you through the pictures exactly how Emmy's visit with Santa went.....the pictures most definitely speak for themselves! Enjoy!

Our best one, whew!!

 

 





And...here we go!

Uh-oh....

 



Starting to go downhill....

 

 





Yikes!

 



Now I'm not looking at the camera....

We had such a great Thanksgiving holiday with our families. Lots of laughs, stories, catching up, and of course way too much good food. :) Here are a few pictures from our get-togethers and also a few of our favorites from the past month with our Emmy Jane. By the way, if you're reading this, we're thankful for you too....because you're someone who cares about us, and our story. So thanks for checking in, and thanks for being a part of our story too...... 

 

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!!

 

Reading a story w/ Grandma & Grandpa

I love you too Uncle Justin

Thanksgiving w/ Grandpa Baker

Giggles w/ Grandpa

I wish you all could have seen the hilarious faces my dad and Josh made
 to make Emmy look at the camera, but they worked!!!

 

Emmy loves taking her friends for "rides" in her car

 

Doesn't she look like such a big girl?!

Colt and Emmy both wanted to be on Josh's lap for the story :)

What a month!!

My goodness what a fun filled, jam packed October we've had! I couldn't believe how much we actually did this month! Whew! Enjoy ALL the pics and here's a few fun facts on Little Miss Emily Jane :)

What is she up to now? Not only is Emmy walking, but she is running! (or at least trying too!) She is also "talking" all the time! It is so sweet to hear her little voice :) She says "bye", "mom", and "dad" and loves to wave at anything and everyone
Favorite things: Getting her teeth brushed, she giggles the whole time! She also loves to "sort" her laundry (or throw it all over the floor) and she thinks the vacuum is hilarious, she loves to chase it while I'm vacuuming the floor. She also loves to take everything out of her bag, my purse, and any drawer she can find!
Favorite food: Mac N' Cheese, all fruits and veggies!
Teeth: 6!
Emmy's 1 yr stats: Weight-22.5lbs 74%
                                 Height-29.5in   64%
                         

Our little pumpkin trick-or-treating :)

Emmy and Grammy on Halloween

Since she couldn't have candy, Grammy found a few other goodies for Emmy! 

"No Daddy, that's my car!"

Eating a Mickey Mouse pancake Daddy made for her :)

Going for a ride in her John Deere wagon from Grandpa

  

Emmy loved picking her own pumpkin at the pumpkin patch, this one was just her size!

 

Going for a ride on the carousel at the Children's Museum, woo-hoo!

Happy 3rd Birthday Colt!!!



Emmy just loves her Uncle Justin, Aunt Whitney and Cousin Colt!

She loved going through the hay maze!

 

So stinkin' cute!

After triple bypass open heart surgery a little over a month ago, I'd say my dad is doing great!!
He was so excited to get to hold Emmy again, let alone play with her on the floor!

Emmy's first of many combine rides w/ Grandpa :)

She did great, and wasn't scared at all! I think there's a little farm girl in her too!!
