Christmas 2010

Merry Christmas! It took 122 pictures to get one good one.

I made Emma a quilt and burp cloths for her babies for Christmas. She was very excited.

Jonah just took in all of the Christmas morning festivities.

Pretty cute picture.

Christmas morning, after spending time together at home, we went to Nana and Papaw's. We spent the day with Nana, Papaw, Aunt Sarah, Uncle Keith, and Sarhea. The girls had fun playing together and Jonah had a rough day due to an ear infection, but it was a good time together.

On the day after Christmas, we packed up and left for a week in St. Louis. We spent the time with Grammy, Poppa, Aunt Erin, Uncle Ben, Uncle Andrew, Aunt Abby, Sam, and Grandma. It was a full house, but we had a great time. The trip started out rough when Jonah was fighting an awful cold and ear infection and did not sleep for the first three nights. Once he felt better things turned around. Emma and Sam had a great time playing together and there are so many fun memories that it would be difficult to record them all. I did not do a good job of taking pictures and therefore do not have any of Grammy, Uncle Ben, Poppa, or Grandma. The kids enjoyed being loved on by so many people and just enjoyed the attention.

Jonah got a stuffed lion and LOVES it!

Uncle Rich made Emma and Sam a very special book of pictures he has taken of animals while in Africa. It is really amazing.

Uncle Andrew, Uncle Ben, and Daddy took Sam and Emma sledding in the backyard. There was no sled, so they used a roasting pan. It was hilarious, but worked really well and the kids loved every second of it.

Aunt Abby taught Emma about ballet and let Emma wear her point shoes. Emma has continued talking about it everyday.

Are those not the most kissable cheeks???

Aunt Erin spent a lot of time with sweet Jonah. Lots of it was when he was fussy. She is kinda like the baby whisperer.

Emma and Jonah were so much fun together. They played so well and really enjoyed each other.

Don't they look like they could be twins? Thank goodness they are not...whew...that would be EXHAUSTING!

Uncle Rich time!
