Never going to be able to catch up

So, I know how long it has been since I posted, but there is a good reason. I have been having lots of computer issues and I have a new computer, but I have not transferred to the new one yet. I can't upload anymore photos onto the old computer- I am afraid I will lose them.

Once I get the new one going I will post again. I have so many great pics of Em and I know it will be hard to get them posted for everyone, but I will try hard.

Hope everyone has a Holiday!

Pickin out a Tree

We went with Kaki and picked out our Christmas tree today. Emerson had so much fun trying to find the right one. She liked them all and did wonder where the pink ones were. She was also very concerned about the trees that had fallen or were stacked up and not put our yet. She wanted them to all be standing up and in water. Here is Emerson and Kaki next to Kaki's tree

HUM... Which one do I want?

She was not really ready to go, but it was cold!
I think she is really going to love the tree and lights this year. Now, if we can just convince her
to get near Santa then we will be set!

Happy Turkey Day

We have so much to be thankful for and we hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

Emerson made her festive hat at school the last day before the holiday break. She wore it most of the day Thursday.

The last day of school before the break she got up very early, so I knew she would be really tired once I picked her up from school. She asked to watch one show before taking a nap and I agreed. She also asked to get "Cupcake" her horse out of her bed. I thought this odd, as she usually likes to have "Roar" around the house with her. We went and got Cupcake. I turned her show on and proceeded to do some things around the house. Within 15 minutes, she had fallen asleep curled up with cupcake in her chair.

Sorry for the long break in posts, but we have been very busy lately. I have lots to post and I will get caught up this week.

New Jewels

I went out of town this weekend and I brought Emerson back a new crown. Hers broke and she has been lost without it. The crown came packaged with earring, a necklace and a ring. She has not been without these new jewels since we opened them. She will not wear the earring, but she does want them near her at all times, so she puts them in a handbag and insists on carrying it around.

This morning we got dressed and ready for school and she ran to her room to put on the jewels. After 10 times of asking me if she can take all her new accessories to school and after 10 times of me telling her no, she finally wised up and asked to bring them in the car. So, here we are going to school this morning. By the way, the minute she got in the car when I picked her up from school the jewels went back on.

Denny took this picture this evening as she pranced around in the jewels AND her princess dress. She is such a girly girl.

Too Cool for School

I know I have not posted in awhile, but things have just been very busy the last few weeks.
This was taken last week as she sported around the house with this chosen pair of sunglasses. She has multiple pairs... Pretty cute I think.

Daddy's big helper

We went to the nursery today and got pansies to plant in the yard for the fall. Of course, Emerson wanted to help Denny plant them.

This morning everybody wanted Daddy lovin'.

She LOVES them Aunt Mel!
Thanks

The Tigers may have played and lost a pitiful game, but this fan sure does like dressing up for the game! It is all about what you wear!

"MOOOOOOOOM, I can't do it"

These pictures remind me of a commercial I see often. It is the one about that "Amazing" over the shoulder, adjustable strap, genuine leather bag that holds all of the contents of your purse PLUS 2 full size bottles of water. Do you know the commercial I am talking about?
Well, this morning Emerson struts out of her playroom pushing the popcorn popper, holding every purse she owns- 10-13 I think- on her arm, is trying to hold a large plastic alligator wearing her pink boa and hawain lae all the while trying to put on a pair of yellow sunglasses. She quickly catches the reds because she drops all of it. What follows next is the very dramatic fall to the floor with the "MOOOOOOOM, I can't do it".
My instruction in passing- trying not to encourage the whining and crying- is to put some of her purses down into the larger ones and carry all of her stuff that way. She looks up and it was like a light went off. She stopped the whining and crying and went to it. She felt a real sense of accomplishment. I was just glad the whining stopped.
