Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!



Well, after being home for a week, I figured it's time to update the blog, and to share about our Christmas and new Years! We hope that you all had a happy New Year and a Merry Christmas. We traveled New Hampshire, via Boston, where my parents are now living. We saw some old friends in Boston and spent some time on the slopes, after we got dumped on with snow! Emrey was spoiled with yet another Birthday celebration with family. She, also loved being with her cousins, Josh (3) and Anna (14 months). She learned several new words, including "Nanna, Pappo, and Anna". She also clarified her apparent understanding of "NO", adding a head shake to make sure we can understand when she says "no"! And, similar to Oklahoma, she loved to play on the stairs, climbing up and down with Anna, squealing with joy when they reached the top! Below are some pictures of cutting down our Christmas tree, which was very special and Emrey's party. I will update soon on some of Emrey's new developmental milestones etc.


Cutting the Christmas Tree down!

We did lots of sledding!

Birthday Celebration #2, Ellis looks more excited than Emrey...

Emrey was a trooper, she was very tired, but held it together for her birthday

Nanna's Crazy!

Before the snow hit, Christmas Day

Nanna and Aunt Sarah took the girls and Josh to Funspot a local kids place, while Ellis and I got to go skiing, thanks for all the babysitting!
