Friends

We had the chance to visit with the Humphrey's (John, Diane, Kaitlyn and Madison) while in Pennsylvania this past week. Here are some pictures from their visit back in August and a recent picture of the girls. Oh, how kids change in the blink of an eye.

Emily Favorite Toy

Emily got a ton of things for Christmas this year. Like all children she has her favorites. This is one of them. She likes to wiggle her hips to the music, as well as make the animals pop up. She even roars when the lion pops up. After she open this one we actually had a hard time trying to get her to unwrap the rest of her gifts. She kept walking back over to the box that this one was in and playing with it through the open part of the box. The part that is used to the "try me here". The video is a little long but it was too cute to cut anything from it. It is so fun to watch children having a good time. This toy has several different things on it and Emily goes from one thing to the next.

Christmas Surprise

To say that my mother is a huge “The Christmas Story” movie freak would be putting it lightly. While growing up, everyone living in the house would have to put up with it playing on the TV all December long. After recently reading an article in the December issue of Guide Post my Dad decided to get my mom something from movie. It is the famous Leg Lamp from the movie. I think she liked it but you can be the judge of that!




We also got her a trip to Hawaii, but all we got was a "Wow, Awesome".

16 months old - Dec. 16

Although this was no easy task since Emily didn't seem to be feeling well, we were able to take her monthly picture with some semblance of a smile. Check out the very last picture for her Grinch-like look.

Emily has really enjoyed things that come with the Christmas season, plastic ornaments, jingle bells and especially beads. Thankfully she's not interested in touching the Christmas tree.

She is gaining a little more confidence these days in walking by herself and definitely let's you know when she is not interested in something. We also noticed we have a little dancer on our hands. Pretty much every time she hears music she sways her bottom side-to-side. She can say shoe, bye and wa-wa (water) and can also play the "gimme 5" game.

Rainbow Bright Look-A-Like

Emily was playing with one of her favorite toys these days and also had a great pig tail hair day which was done by her hair dresser Aunt Randa so I had to take some pictures. I told her to give the frog a kiss just to see what she'd do, and was a little surprised when she actually did it.

Goosebumps

This is a great video. It shows how Jesus is always there for you and will always help you out of the hardest situations that the world can throw at you! I have watched it a dozen times or more and it still gives me goosebumps.

Lifehouse - Everything Skit

Fall Fun

A couple of weeks ago we had a Sunday School class fellowship over at our friends the Canode's and our friend Shelli took these pictures. Emily loved playing in the leaves.
