20 months...

Emma, you are a JOY.  I say it in almost every post...but I can never say it enough! 

Your smile gets me every time.

And your eyes own your Daddy.

You are funny, and you know it :)  I love watching you crack yourself up!

You are talking more and more every day.  You love to talk about everyone in our family.  Mommy, Daddy, "Sasson", Abby, Gus Gus, Poppa...those are your current favorites.  We are working on saying everyone's name, though! 

 

My non-routine child has officially begun a bedtime routine that MUST be followed!  You want to read the Bible, say prayers, sing a song, then go to bed.  You love to cuddle during that time and I love EVERY second of it. 

You adore your brother and model everything that he says and does. 

You love to eat...breakfast and snacks are your favorite.  I can always calm you down when you are upset by offering a snack :)

You, my dear, are BEAUTIFUL!

Christmas in Oklahoma...

We spent the week of Christmas in Oklahoma this year.  It was a great trip!  We had just been up in Oklahoma in November and had lots of time with Graham's friends, so this trip we were able to focus solely on spending time with family...which we loved!

Christmas in Birmingham...

Each year Mom and Dad take our families to the Christmas dinner at The Club.  It is by far one of the best nights of the year!  The kids LOVE it - they get to see Santa, eat a fancy meal, and dance the night away!

We left a few days before Christmas day to go to Oklahoma, so we celebrated Christmas early with my family.  Words don't express how much I love these people. 

And of course our annual Santa pic... Watson was not sure what to think, while Emma was pretty sure what she thought...

Merry Christmas!!
