Christmas Season 2009 - Party, Party, Party

Hi Everyone, hope you are all bearing the winter cold. We heard that many of you got caught in a winter storm this past week, yuck! Our weather just started to get cold but on Wednesday it was 61 F which is quite nice (16 C), however we got a huge wind storm. Our neighbors above ground pool was destroyed, one of the docs daddy works with had his big trampoline fly up into the air and land on his roof and many of our friends, including us lost some shingles on the roof. The roofing guys around here are loving it, but Mommy got our quote this morning and she wasn't too happy, but oh well!

So we have been busy enjoying the Christmas season. We decided to do our own Christmas pics again this year and they turned out great! Daddy did an awesome job.

A few nights ago we went to see Ella, Fisher, Ava and Sophia in their school christmas pageant. I had so much fun playing with all the little kids and really wanted to be up at the front with them when they were singing. Daddy put me on his shoulders so I could see everyone better, I kept calling out to Fisher and Mommy and Daddy kept telling me to be quiet, wonder why!!!

Here I am reading a Hymn book at the church we were in for the pageant, pretty interesting but there weren't any pictures!

Fisher and I kept going over to the Christmas tree and playing with the ornaments, really we were trying to figure out how we could knock over the tree without getting in trouble!!!

What do you think about my cute dress, I love it!

Last weekend we went on a road trip with the Battel's to Raleigh, North Carolina. Kara's sister lives there and we went to stay at her house. Chris and Daddy got to go to a Carolina Hurricanes NHL game, they were playing Vancouver and they ended up winning despite the fact they are in last place in the league. Daddy was happy as he is not a big fan of the Canucks, even though they are Canadian. Sounds like they had lots of fun at the game! Fisher, Ella and I had a blast running around their house with their dog Weiss.

Kara's sister Kelsey, was so much fun. She let all of us climb onto her coffee table and jump onto her on the couch!

Well that is all for now, Mommy and I have lots to do today and we have another Christmas party to attend tonight, lots of fun!

Take care and keep warm!!!

Love y'all,

Emmie
