Our first Christmas celebration occurred when we visited Emma's godmother's house the weekend before Christmas. Emma had fun checking all of our vital signs with her new doctor's kit.
Aunt Susan went back to CA for the holidays so it was just the three of us plus Chloe. We enjoyed a quiet Christmas Eve by going to church and having a simple dinner. The next morning Emma was up early and wanted to wear her blue Christmas dress right away before going downstairs. (She requested a dress to go with her silver shoes so I made her a blue, crushed velvet dress with silver accents. She loves it!)
Santa was good to Emma and brought lots of toys. Emma was thrilled to discover that the milk, cookies and carrot were nothing but crumbs that morning. "Rudolph liked his carrot." After opening presents and eating breakfast we loaded up the car and headed to Great Grandma's. I, of course, forgot the camera. We had a wonderful time visiting with Great Grandma and her nephew, Chuck, Jude his wife and their son Marc.
We let Emma sleep by herself in the guest bed while we crashed in our sleeping bags on the living room floor. It actually worked out quite well. It was the best night of sleeping it Great Grandma's house since Emma was born! Yahoo!
