We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I know we sure did!!! We are so incredibly blessed that sometimes I can't believe it! We spent Christmas eve at my parents' house with my family and my sister's inlaws. We all went to church together and then had dinner at my mom's house. Emmy went to see Santa that afternoon. We have a decent pic of her with Santa (all business though) before she realized she didn't know the strange bearded man that was holding her!! Aunt Kristen tried to convince her all was ok but she cried. Oh well. Still a cute pic, just no smile. We opened Christmas gifts as well after Emmy went to bed. We woke up on Christmas am and had a yummy breakfast made by Gi Gi and then Emmy finished opening her gifts. She loved her gifts...especially her new cabbage patch baby! The look on her face when she saw her new baby was priceless. She pressed her little face against the plastic on the box and then kissed the box. Uncle BJ got her new baby out of the box and she was in love!!! We have some awesome pics of her on Christmas am with her new toys and books. We left after we were all done with gits headed to my grandparents' house in Dubuque. We stopped in to see Great Grandma and Grandpa. Emmy had a wonderful time playing with them too! Emmy of course needed a costume change before we could leave their house. She opened gifts from Great Gma and Gpa and ate lunch there too. We made it home to IL around dinner time and then stopped in to see Grandma J for a bit too. We ended up eating dinner with Grandma J and told her all about out trip. We got home close to 9pm and Emmy was SO ready for bed! Matt and I were beat too. We got Emmy off to bed after some more play time with her baby and other new toys. We did our "bare minimum" ( as we call it) of putting things away and then headed to bed too. On Friday we got up and I had to finish some shopping and Mat had to finish getting some things ready at home for our Klitzke/Luxon Christmas. We went to Grandma J's for the rest of the day to be with Seth, KAte, Connor and Aunt Joanie. We had a wonderful time eating (and eating lots), opening gifts and just being together. Emmy and Connor "played" together...I think Connor watched as Emmy crawled all over him and showed him her new things.
We are still trying to figure out when we will be doing Christmas with Papa Mike and Gran Diane...soon we are hoping!
We had such a wonderful Christmas and want to thank everyone. We love you all!!!
Love
Erika, Matt and Emmy
