Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve the excitment began. The kids
got to open their Christmas PJ's from Nana &
Papa. Then because that is not as exciting as
present, they each got to pick one to open.

Emery with her crawling butterfly. She enjoyed
chewing on it more than crawling after it.

Isaac with his dump truck from Aunt Jenni, Uncle
Kevin, and cousin Kodie. He loves this thing and
even sat in it (yes he is still that small). Although
natural consequences occurred and he fell over. No
ouchies though.


Ian is now a true police officer. He has the helmet &
all the accessories to prove it. Watch out!

Emery's 1st Christmas eve. Just as content as can be
in her warm PJ's.
Merry Christmas to all & and Happy New Year!


Don't forget the Reindeer


Reindeer food (provided by daycare)


The boys outside leaving reindeer food.
Of course we left chocolate cookies for Santa, but as Ian
reminded us we can't forget about the hard working
reindeer. So the boys left food outside for the reindeers
to munch on.

Boys will be boys






Here the boys are posing for pictures. They were
being really goofy (as always).

Early Christmas with cousin Kodie


We decided that it would be fun for the kids to open a present each.
So here they are digging into the presents.

Winter




It started snowing on the 13th & for the most
part has not stopped. It has been too cold to even
play outside. We have around 9-12 inches of snow
& more is expected this week. It will be a
white Christmas here. Happy Holidays!

Emery is 10 months






Emery turned 10 months on the 13th. She finally said
mama on the 20th. Yeah I was so excited, its been nothing
but dada for the last few months. She is pulling up on
everything. She will walk with hands and loves the stairs.
She has a great personality and loves to laugh at her
brothers.

Visitors


The four cousins: Ian, Isaac, Kodie, & Emery


Papa and the boys!
We have had a lot of visitors over the last month.
Grandma & Grandpa came to visit after Thanksgiving.
Papa came to visit the first weekend in December.
Aunt Jenni, Uncle Kevin, and cousin Kodie came to visit
last weekend. It has been a lot of fun seeing family. It
defintely makes it feel more like the holidays!

Promotion

We found out on Tuesday that all of Jeremy's hard work
has paid off. He was promoted to Sgt. He beat out 11
officers for the spot. He starts his new position on January 4.
This means back to the streets, which he is very excited about.
We are all very proud of him.

Just being Cute!





For the most part Emery is an extremely happy baby.
She loves to laugh and play. She thinks it is funny to get
chased. She thinks her brothers are a riot. It is so fun to
see her personality come through. She is our little Drama
Queen!
(Thanks again Jillian for the super cute bows!)
