Christmas morning

I have finally gotten around to uploading my Christmas morning photos.

I just thought this one was so cute...

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Naturally, all of the photos are of us in our jammies, not lookin' so hot....

So, this is all I am sharing.

I hope this finds everyone enjoying their Christmas holiday and time with loved ones...

On December 25th

Twas the night before Christmas......

and all through the house....

Baking and more baking was the theme for the day!

Actually, I had to take Emersyn to the pediatrician first thing this morning.

I took her to urgent care on the 21st and she was diagnosed with croup(duh)

 which then turned into a horrible cough/cold (thanks Logan!)

and she has had so much congestion.

 It has all kept her from sleeping very well all week,

Her doctor says she has an ear infection so at least she is now on some anti-biotics.

Lukily, she hasn't been down much.

She has been enjoying all of the festivities and G-maw and G-paw's visit!

Ok, so, back to the day....

after the doctor visit my mom and I took Lunden and Emersyn with us to finish some last minute shopping.

Boy! The stores were seriously picked over!

We then spent the rest of the day baking....cookies, cookies, chocolate dipped pretzels...cookies...pumpkin pies...

The house smells DIVINE!

Just thought I would share some photos from the day!

Merry Christmas!!!

happy 15th!

Happy 15TH Birthday

L&B

I just added a few random photos of the years gone by.

 Time flies....

I am SO proud of my babies...I mean teenagers!

(who get their driving permits next week!)

Christmas deliciousness

I have been baking sugar cookies for two days now. I made about 50 cookies yesterday

 because I volunteered to bring in cookies for the kid's to decorate.

Today, I made more that that. The kids have been having fun decorating and eating their cookies.

We will be making more next week, for Santa.

{The snowflakes are my fave!}

{Carsens decorated cookie}

{Lunden's Cookie. I LOVE the pearl necklace!}

{I just love how this picture turned out}

{Logan frosting his cookie...and tongue}

{Emersyn licking all the frosting off her cookie and loving every minute of it}

*~*23*~*

Miss Emersyn May is now 23 months old!

Seriously, where does the time go?!

I can't believe my baby girl will be 2 years old next month!

She is busy growing and changing and exploring the world around her.....

{Showin' Frosty some love}

{is not going to look at the camera for anything}

{this is her "you better take the picture before I take this headband off}

{sweet hugs for Frosty}

{Singing "Frosty the snowman"}

{She gets a kick seeing her reflection in the ornaments}

She is really into drawing...pens and crayons or her aqua doodle mat and water pens.

-She LOVES to sing! She picks up words to songs quickly.
 Her favorite Christmas songs to sing ( and knows the words to) are...
"Last Christmas", "Wonderful Christmas time"and"Frosty the Snowman"
AND she loves to say "Ho ho ho! Merrrrrrrry Kissmas".
-She has such an expressive face. She seems to have an expression for everything. When she sings she uses those expressions. It's so funny! If the song is slow then she has a very serious,dramatic expression. If it's an upbeat song she get's all into it. 
-Her favorite two favorite shows on t.v. are "Hannah Montana" and "The Fresh Beat band"

-She plays with her kitchen everyday and loves to be silly with her brothers.

-Sissy is still one of her most favorite people.
-Brennen has cute little sayings that she likes. Sometimes he likes to scare her (in a nice way) and she runs to mommy or sissy. Once in awhile Brennen will say something that she just doesn't like or it was the way he said  something and it makes her cry.

-I can't get her to nap anymore. So, bedtime is fairly early.

She enjoys taking all of her clothes off right after I dress her. Her diaper too!

Emersyn LOVES to wave and say "hi" to all children and always notices the babies.

She says "Yup" now instead of yes. And she will shrug her shoulders and say " I dont know" when you ask her something.

She also loves to say "Ewwww" to things that look gross to her.
When she is wanting something she will say a super cute, " Peeeeeeeeeeeeez" (please). Who can resist that?!!

She is the sweetest child with a gentle soul. I just love her so much!

On to planning her 2nd b-day party!

:)

A little child shall lead them..

{You will need to stop my music player below}

Merry CHRISTmas everyone!
 May the spirit of Christ live within us everyday.

Not just at Christmas time.

*3 little ducks*

I snuck up on the kids playing "Duck, duck, goose" and...

 it was Emersyns turn.

SO CUTE!

I love watching them and hearing them play together!

All about a little girl named Emersyn

I haven't taken any pictures for awhile. Shame on me!

Emersyn was looking quite adorable in her brown, furry vest

so, I took a bunch of pictures.

 Lunden was snapping pictures with her camera too.

 I think we got a bunch of great pictures!

{She actually did a somersault today}

One more week of school for us.

My parents will be coming down from West Virginia next Saturday

 for the week of Christmas.

Lunden and Brennen celebrate their 15th birthday next Sunday!

Alot going on!

I hope everyone is enjoying the Christmas season!

Until next time.....
