Emily's Christmas Party

 I was able to go to Emily's Christmas party in her class.  I helped bring food and also helped lead a craft.  She had a great time.  It was great to meet some of the other moms and meet some of the kids in her class.

 Emily and Gabrielle. I hear about this girl all the time, so her mom and I are going to try to have them play together one day.

 Emily and Cali.  They are also in dance class together and are becoming friends.  I wish my picture turned out better.

At Chuck-E-Cheese with Emily's friend/classmate, Zele.  She begged to go to this party.

Santa Visit

Well, our Santa visit did not go as planned.  I had them in matching outfits and Emily was excited!  Ella, however, threw a MAJOR kicking and screaming fit right in front of santa.  She did not want any part of being near him even if I was going to be in the picture.  So, we have a nice picture of Emily with Santa and not even a crying one with Ella on his lap b/c she wouldn't go near him. :(  I thought she would be ok with him.  I think it about 3 years from now, I may actually get one with both of them??? I did get one last year before Ella started crying.  Here they are with Santa in the background and Roy wanted me to get them out of there.

Ella's Christmas Parties

 Very happy that mommy came to her party!

After her party at her school on Thursday.  I couldn't make the party.  She would not give me any smiles because she thought I was making her stay. ha!  I thought she looked adorable that day though!

Daisy Scout party

Lights of the Ozarks

We went to the Lights of the Ozarks with our good friends.  We had a wonderful evening with them. The girls had so much fun riding the camel, the ponies, and the carriage ride! We had pizza at Tiny Tim's, which took forever!

The Nutcracker

We went to The Nutcracker last weekend in Fort Smith.  It was such a good performance, as always.  Thanks for taking us, Cita!  Emily got a little tummy bug that day, so she was not able to spend the weekend with Cita and Poppy.  She is there right now having her weekend to herself with them. ;)

Rise and Shine

The kindergarten was in charge of December's Rise and Shine.  It was really cute and they did a great job!  Emily was in the front row with a red dress on.
