Emily's Dance

At our church Christmas Party on December 4th Emily got to participate in a small ballet with the other young girls in our ward. They danced to Toyland and were adorable.


It was very stressful convincing Emily that she would enjoy the performance and then to remember to actually try (she kept doing half leaps and having a pout on her face). But in the end she was a beautiful ballerina.....clumsy, but gorgeous!

Lost Teeth

On November 28th Emily lost her very first tooth! Such a big day for our big girl.

Christmas Decorations

David decided our house needed to be festive for the holidays. While Emily and I made a gingerbread house, David bought decorations and lit up the house. We had to buy a baby gate to keep Megan away from the tree ornaments. She likes all the shiny balls and candy canes.

Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving we packed up the girls and headed to Idaho to visit David's family. It wasn't the easiest trip with a 5-year old and a 9-month old, but we survived the 2 hour flight and 3 hour drive. Some of the highlights from our trip included:

Emily & David shoveling the snow off the driveway (yes....for Emily that was an exciting day)

Eating Turkey
Having Megan meet her Grandpa Wayne for the first time
And of course playing with Grandma V's kitty cats (Emily LOVES Vinny)

Christmas Dresses

Grandma Wessel made two very special dresses for our girls. She took Emily shopping to pick out the fabric and the pattern and then created a masterpiece! The dresses look adorable on the girls and they loved them. Megan kept playing peekaboo with it while Emily twirled in circles.

Playtime

Megan loves to play....especially with her big sister's toys. She has claimed Emily's baby doll as her own and loves to suck on its hands and bang its head on the floor!
