December Pictures

We did not break out the camera too much this Christmas for some reason. Here are the few shots we did take on Christmas morning and a couple from throughout the month of December.

Birthday Party

Emma had a great 1st birthday party. We had planned an outside party, but the wind was too strong and it kept blowing all of the decorations off the tables. We quickly moved everything to the porch where the wind was blocked by the house, and it all went beautifully after that. Emma enjoyed having all of her family come to see her. She loved all of the wonderful presents she got and of course her yummy cupie-cake. She also got to show off her recently acquired skill of walking, which seems to be her preferred method of getting from here to there these days.

Birthday Wish List

My family has asked what things Emma would like or need for birthday and Christmas gifts so I thought I would post it on the blog to make it easy. Although she will probably be most interested in the wrapping paper and empty boxes this year, here are some things that we think she would enjoy:

* Little People's Toys (by Fisher-Price)
* See 'n Say Farmer Says (by Fisher-Price)
* Emma loves to push buttons, so any toys with lots of buttons that respond when she pushes them.
* Also, we have this kids praises DVD that is for the childrens music program at our church and Emma adores it. It is just kids singing and dancing to worship songs, but she is beside herself everytime we turn it on. So I think she would like other sing-a-long DVDs too. Here are some examples.
* A Hair Bow Holder (we are starting quite a collection of bows; Click on the link for the one that I found that would look good in her room
* Tadoodles Crayon Buddies and Tadoodles Giant Coloring Books (by Crayola)
* Mega Bloks
* Castle Climb N Slide (by Little Tykes)

I know Emma will love whatever she gets :)

Rainy day at Seaworld

Last weekend we went to Seaworld with Cheryl and Jesse. There are not many pictures, because it was raining. Emma's favorite part was getting to touch the sting rays in the water, we had a hard time keeping her from jumping right in.
