The Joy of the Holidays




Hanging out at GGP's house

   We ventured to Fort Worth for Thanksgiving this year to join the Corders and Mansons for lots and lots of food.  Luckily, Kate is very talented with a camera and took the pictures shown here!  We headed out to the park for some time in the fall leaves and Emerson thoroughly enjoyed climbing, running, and playing.

Getting sleepy

Emerson and I made holiday cookies yesterday for Steve to take to work.  Emerson loved the green icing and ended up looking a bit like the Hulk.


The aftermath of cookie baking



 We're backing up to Halloween now. Emerson dressed as Plex from Yo Gabba Gabba!  The outfit was completely his choice.  We headed out to Trunk or Treat for candy and games then back home to peruse the treats received.  

Christmas!!

Emerson visiting Santa.  No tears this year!!

My boys in their hats

On the go

I think this captures a 2 year old perfectly

Checking out the Christmas lights in the park

Emerson was too enamored of the train to look at Mummy

Waiting to see Santa!!

Riding a train...this has been the highlight of his year!

Chugga-chugga-choo-choo

Watching the world go by

The first attempt

Emerson, Daddy, and the train

Unhappy about having his picture taken

But happy about balloons!

I got a puzzle!

Happy boy

Emerson's first school picture.  I have no idea how they got him to sit still.
