December

Its the holiday season!  Emma is having a lot of fun so far.  We spent an early Christmas back in RI with the family, a couple of days in Boston, and enjoying some early snow.

 

Emma helped decorate the tree, and had a little help from Flat Stanley.

Hopefully it will be a white Christmas - the rest of the month is turning out to be white.

She is a natural at snow angels

Worked on our first gingerbread house.  Emma ate about as much as went on the house. 

All dressed up to take daddy out for a birthday dinner.

Kicking around the yard.  Trying to make a snowman, which turned into a snowball fight.

 A little attitude - daddy wasn't listening well at dinner :).

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving and a wonderful long weekend (though not completely over yet).  Now time to start preparing for Christmas and our trip back to RI next weekend.  Will try to post some pics as we head into the "season". 

A little pose and a smile just before dinner

A little bubbly (i.e. Sprite) to go with dinner

Ask her to "Make a funny face" - and this is what you get.

Taking command of the table, Emma was clearly in charge most of the evening.

Sitting in the "big girl" chair and styling her T-day outfit.

Though he doesn't know it, Emma is reading to her cousin Carter.
