Belated Christmas in North Carolina

We had a wonderful belated Christmas celebration in North Carolina with Grammy, Papa and Uncle Scott. Emily got so many great toys she didn't know what to play with first. But, she eventually got her hands (and mouth) on everything. Her talking doggy and Tickle Me Elmo are a couple of her favorites. This year, like most years, Karen got coal in her stocking. Stephanie didn't because she was very good.

Who's going to blink first?

My very first Elmo!

Hangin' with Uncle Scott

So, so sad that it's all over

Christmas In Kentucky

We spent Emily's 1st Christmas in Kentucky with Grandma and Grandpa Smith. She loved the baby settee that Stephanie played on when she was little. (Yes, that's a picture of her framed above it.) Em hasn't even had an opportunity to be good for a whole year, and she got so many gifts from everyone!

Yes, Stephanie had long hair... once.

Another helping of turkey and stuffing and Stephanie is going to break the baby couch

Emily is so proud to sit in a chair just her size

Just some of the gifts Santa brought Emily this year

Why are baby toys so well packaged that it requires the child and two adults to get into them? Hello Grandma Smith!

"I can't even talk yet; how'd you know I wanted one of these?"

"And this one too!"

"Cousin Mayla and Family, thank you for my red tutu!!"

"OK, we can read for a minute, but make it snappy, I got more openin' to do!"
