Merry Christmas everyone. Oh and Happy New Year also. Always playing catchup. The Holidays went by so fast for us. Our 2 weeks off were filled with lots of friends, parties and of course Emerson's social schedule was pretty full. Emerson spent her usual weekend before Christmas in Jackson, MS with Bella and Avery. That's a tradition we started many years ago and she looks forward to it. And it is pretty good leverage for behaving! I will say upfront that I was the WORST photographer this Christmas. Meaning I took no pictures. None of Emerson in front of the tree, none of her dressed on Christmas Eve before church, none on Christmas Day with grandparents or even with us. It was over and I realized we had no pics. Oh well, there's always next year.
I did manage to take this one pic of our Christmas tree.
It is our tradition that on Christmas Eve we make something in honor of Jesus' Birthday. When she was much smaller we called it "Bakin' Cakes for Jesus". She too cool for that now... This year we made salt dough ornaments. Emerson and I made the dough on the Eve of Christmas Eve and baked them off that evening. The three of us sat together in our pj's, listened to Christmas Music and painted our ornaments. It was a special, sweet time and we all three enjoyed it.
