Christmas music and Gift exchange

Emrie is very much into trying to dress herself now. She will be consumed for like 15 minutes trying to put on her own socks. It's kinda funny. Well, this morning as I was sitting on the couch reading I hear Emrie shuffling over to the living room and when she gets there this is what she found. Walking around in my shoes with dad's hat on carrying that yellow basket, so I had to get a picture.

This week we had a Service Gift Exchange for a Relief Society activity so I made a set of hand warmers and one of those thick headbands (excuse my picture, i don't look very good in it :D). I was actually REALLY nervous that no one would want them but i think they liked them. Now I've just got to make myself something.

And one of my favorite parts of Christmas is the music! LOVE the music. And I think Emrie probably loves it just as much as I do, everytime it comes on she starts dancing and twirling. Sorry the video is kinda dark.

Winter Wonderland and Summer Suprises

Thanksgiving was great. We got to go to Gilbert, me for 1 1/2 weeks, and spend time with family! It was really a lot of fun. So, we drove home to snow and decided we'd better set up the tree....here's what a tree looks like with a 1 1/2 year old. Ornaments on the top half and bare on the bottom half :D Kinda dorky, but at least the ornaments aren't breaking :D Emrie has also decided she likes to Smell the tree (even though it's fake). She smells it and the needles tickle her nose and she runs away laughing, then does it again. It's pretty cute actually.


So today was beautiful, so we decided to put Emrie in her little snow suit and head out to the playground and play. She really liked the snow, just walked around and crawled in it a lot. Can't wait to do a little sledding :D
And last but not least....we will soon have another one of these cute faces around our house. Yep, we're expected #2 the first week of June! So I am 13 weeks along and we're pretty excited. It's a bit different with your second for sure. But can't wait to find out what we're having...hoping a girl since they'll be 2 years apart almost exactly and I have all the right sized clothes :D Silly reason huh? But we'll be happy with whatever. :D
