Christmas came and went fast this year. It seems like time is flying by so fast, soon Emma will be graduating and we will be wondering what happened to our little girl.
Emma’s second Christmas was fun and exciting. We started out with going to Grandma Eda’s and Grandpa Don’s around 11 am on Christmas eve. Emma really enjoyed it, Tara went with us and also Pam’s dog, Speckles, was there. Speckles is the dog that was there on Easter which Emma loved so much, even trying to bite her. Speckles was so happy to see Emma, she gave her kisses and more kisses (yucky puppy dog kisses). Emma would just laugh and go for more kisses. This is where I wonder about Emma’s train of thought. When we go to kiss Emma she will lean in her forehead, allowing you to give her a kiss there. When the dogs want to kiss her, she opens her mouth and lets them lick her, then laughs (see, yucky puppy dog kisses). She won’t eat a pea or corn but she likes sharing food with the dog.
Emma enjoyed getting into the cookies and other Christmas goodies but wouldn’t touch dinner. I fixed her some eggs when we got home and she ate a bit of that but was more interesting in feeding it to the dog. She did well with opening presents there. Aunt Pam bought her the cutest black leather jacket with a pink fur collar. It is so cute on her.
Grandma Eda and Emma played the piano and sang The Little Drummer Boy, Frosty the Snowman and Rudolf the red nose reindeer. She was so cute sitting there with Grandma Eda.
Jordan and Brianna and Emma left early to head over to see Grandma Bev. They got out on the highway and had to turn around. It was so nasty with freezing rain and snow. Brianna felt horrible about missing it, but maybe they can go this weekend and see them. We would all rather them be safe then to take chances out on the road.
The kids all stayed over night here. Emma didn’t know what to think about mommy and daddy spending the night at grandma’s house too. She wouldn’t sleep in her crib very well and when I peeked in on them this morning, Jordan had just a little section of the bed, Brianna had a good share of the bed, but Emma laid sideways with her head up against Jordan and her feet in Brianna’s face. It was so cute.
Emma didn’t know what to think of Santa leaving her things. She stood there looking confused at the stuff, but soon enough went over to the little 4 wheeler and when grandpa showed her to push the button and how it would go, she would push the button but not sit on it. Finally Cassie got her to sit on it and when she pushed the button, she was done with it! She didn’t know what to think of it moving on it’s own. After a few more times of pushing the button, she got gutsy enough to try it. Soon it was her favorite toy. She also got twin babies and a high chair. Cassie bought her a Baby Alive and she thought that was pretty fun too. Opening presents wasn’t so interesting to her though. She decided after the first couple that she should just sit on the package and tear the paper in little tiny pieces. I am not sure if Jordan and Brianna ended up opening her presents or if she finally decided to tear into them. At Grandma Mert and Grandpa Lee’s she opened one and decided that was enough opening. She wanted to play and all that gift opening was getting in her way.
The greatest gift I ever received wasn’t the ones I open but my children and my little Emmalyne. Thank you God for my family and loved ones.
