Emmie Nicole Hollinger: Emmie's 1st Christmas 2008

Hi Everyone,

We made it back safely to Tennessee and the trip was perfect! I slept for 10 out of the 12 hrs in the car, mommy says I was an "Angel".

My 1st Christmas was so much fun. I loved getting dressed up in all my pretty Christmas dresses and I really enjoyed opening presents. I had so many presents to open that Mommy and Daddy decided to start giving them to me on the 21st, they didn't want to overwhelm me on the big day, which was fine with me.

The Christmas party's began before we left Tennessee, we attended three different one's with people that Daddy works with. You will see from the pic below that I wasn't really a big fan of Santa!

I was very happy to see my godparents, Auntie Carrie and Uncle Brodie but for some reason we don't seem to have any pics on this camera, but we promise to post some soon. They told me some exciting news that they might be coming to visit me for my birthday, I am crossing my fingers that it all works out!

I also had lots of fun playing with my family at Lynn and Larry's Christmas party on the 23rd. Can you believe that 4 baby girls were born in 2008 in our family and I am the oldest, I guess I will have to show them the ropes!

We attended the Toddler's mass at our church on Christmas eve and it was wonderful, there must have been 40 to 50 kids and I was right in there with all of them. Christmas morning was fantastic, I got this really nice pink polka dot chair that I sat in on my very own and we all took turns opening gifts.

Christmas continued on until the end of boxing day as we went up north to Gravenhurst to celebrate with the Hollinger side of the family. I was disappointed on the morning of the 27th that there were no more presents to open!
