Christmas Eve

Emma had a great first Christmas Eve. This morning she and I went out to breakfast at the National Exemplar with the entire Ferone family, the Stillies, and the Saxbys (Mike had to work). It was so much fun and Emma was all dressed up in her Christmas dress. After breakfast it was pouring rain and when we got home it was time for Emma to take a nap. I cuddled her up in bed with me and she slept for two hours while I cuddled her, stared at her, and read a magazine and part of a book. It was a wonderful time together! After the nap I put her in the high chair and got dinner ready for after church. She started fussing and I put a whisk on her tray to distract her with its shininess. I looked over and she had picked it up and was waving it around and putting it in her mouth. I was amazed! Finally, we went to the Christmas Eve service at church. What a great day. Emma can't wait to see what Santa brings in the morning!
