Christmas!

It's time to post all those Christmas pictures finally. Emma is down for a nap, I finished my book this morning and the playroom has been painted (more to come on that). We had a great Christmas. Here are some of the highlights.

Christmas Morning

When Emma got up that morning all she wanted to do was watch T.V. She was very upset that I would not let her. As I have mentioned Emma is not a morning person and she was up late the night before so she was very tired. Even as we came downstairs and turned the corner and saw the presents she still asked to watch T.V. until I gave her her stocking and she found some fun things to play with in there.

She went straight for the candy of course.

Checking out her new trike. She loves to have Daddy push her as her legs are not quite long enough. She also wants Daddy to give her animals a ride but he draws the line and makes her do it. It is so cute.

Quinn opened this and said, "Look what Santa brought US Laura. Isn't it great?"

Quinn made me a blanket!!

Quinn got a new MP3 player!

Grandma and Grandpa Lavender stopped by to see what Santa brought.

Emma's favorite toy of the morning was a Sesame washcloth. Go figure.
