Christmas, Part Two.

Hello again.  :)

I said I would be back to post pictures from Christmas morning, and I have other fun December pictures to share as well.  Enjoy!!

In early December, a special visitor broke into our house and brought us a special North Pole breakfast!  Our special Elf, Elfie, surprised us with donuts, Christmas Tree cakes, and Hot Cocoa for breakfast!  he also brought us ornaments, Elf hats, and Reindeer antlers, along with a book that told all about him!  The most exciting part was that he was going to be with us every day until Christmas!!  Yay!!

See??  He even wrote us a note!  Neat!!

 Breakfast was delicious!  

And, I did really enjoy the Hot Cocoa, but soon swapped it out for OJ.  A girl needs her vitamin C, you know??

So, life with Elfie was interesting.  He hid in a new spot almost every morning to watch what my brother and I were doing.  He was especially interested in if we were being good listeners to Mommy and Daddy.  We didn't get a picture of every hiding spot, but here were some of our favorites:

Wearing doll clothes and hiding inside the fireplace!

Napping, with an Ariel doll, JUST LIKE ME!!!  So weird!!!

He also put toilet paper alllllll over the bathroom one morning.  That Elfie!!  He was so silly at times!!

Discovering Elfie in the bathroom AND in the kitchen making a snow angel. 

So, here are some more fun December pics:

 

Mom got our tunnels out one day.  We don't play with these often so they were a fun treat!

Hard at work, cleaning the glass in our front door.  Mom said I did a great job!  (From Mama:  She did, actually!!)

Here is my friend, Danny, playing with my favorite pink shoes.  ;)

And, FINALLY, Christmas morning.  LOVED it, by the way. 

The cookies are gone!!  And the milk too!  And he left a letter!!

 He came!!  He really came!!!

GASP!  My purse!!  Santa DOES shop at Children's Place!!!!!  ;)

This is too fun.

My Bell Doll!!!  Yay!!!

And a SOFT Belle Doll!!  So I can sleep with her!!

 

And my wiggly toothbrush!!!!!  Yaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!

And....And....a book about tornadoes!!  Daddy is THRILLED!!!!  Hahaha...

It was such a great Christmas.  Mommy and Daddy sorta loved it too.  Christmas with a three year old??  Hard to beat it, folks.  

Love to you all, Emily

December. Santa. Christmas. Etc.

Happy January Friends!

Been awhile since I've updated my blog, and you want to know why?  My mom is a big computer hog.  That's why.  And?  Once I GOT computer time??  I had to figure out how to work around some changes to Blogger.  I've figured out an unperfect, unpreferred fix.  Gah.  Technology.  Dudes.  It's changed soooo much in my lifetime, you know??  Yeah.  All 3 1/2 years of it.  Who knows what the world will be like when I'm, like, six. 

Let's get on with it, shall we?

 

Sitting with my preschool class before my Christmas program.  I'll post a video of that too...eventually...  :)

 

And here Connor and I are with Santa.  Mommy and Daddy squeezed this very quick grin out of Connor before he lost it.  :)

Here is my family's Christmas picture for this year.  Hehehe!!

 

And here is a fun picture of me and my brother.  Christmas lights are SO cool.  Especially when you don't have a tree to put them on (because of the kitchen remodel) and you can just play with them.  ;)

My family on Christmas Eve at Grandma Jo's!

 

Me and my brother (it was his Half Birthday, did you know that??)

 

Me.  Looking cool.

 Grandma Jo got me my very own accordion for Christmas!  Just like hers!!  So neat!!

My very own Cinderella and carriage!!  WOW!!!

Here is Grandma Jo opening her gift from me.  Purple lotion!  I picked it out myself.  :)

 Also awesome for this Christmas?  Connor had to go to bed, but I got to stay up for the whole celebration at Grandma Jo's, which meant I got to watch Mom and Dad open THEIR presents!  Which means I got to try on Mom's new boots!

The next day was Christmas Day.  Pics from that morning coming soon, but that afternoon we traveled to Lawrence to Christmas with Uncle Dan and Gran and Grandpa!

 See Uncle Dan??  He's so handsome, isn't he??

I opened up my very own iPad!!!  (orrr....a Leapster Explorer.  Same thing right??)

We didn't get a whole lot of pictures from this day, because we knew we were going to get to do Christmas all over again when Uncle David and Megan could be with us.  The  next day, we traveled to Junction City to visit with my Daddy's Uncle Francis!  

 I love you Uncle Francis!!!

A few weeks later, it was time to do Christmas AGAIN! 

My future Aunt Megan works at Gap Kids, which means she wasn't able to have time off work to travel until early January.  I was so excited to finally see them and REALLY excited about a question they had for me...

 "Will you be our Flower Girl??"  I said, "YES!"  They are getting married in January 2013, and Megan's niece, Bailey, is also a Flower Girl.  She is just one month older than me.  We are going to have SO MUCH FUN!!!

 I can't wait!!!  I'm going to be such a good Flower Girl!!

 I mean, who wouldn't love to have this awesome personality walk down the aisle???  Hehehe....

Right, Megan??  Oh, yeah, you can't talk...sorry about that...  ;)

 I opened up some sweet new additions to my wardrobe!!

 And I also got a lovely mask to help with my beauty sleep.  ;)

 We're pretty stoked about Christmas, the wedding, everything.  And by we, I mean I.  Connor's not so much. Boys.  ;)

We finished up our fun, forever long Christmas with a fun game of Hungry, Hungry Hippo!!  

Love to all my family and friends!  Stay tuned for more to come...  :)

Love, Emily
