"CHRISTMAS ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!"
We think so too. :) So much so that it's too much for 1 blog post to handle. I think the Christmas post is going have to be a series. Mostly because I have so many pictures to share and I'm not very good at deciding which ones to keep and which to cut out. Terrible actually. So, I'm going to share lots of our favorite pictures of Emma and family over the holidays through a 3 part series. Part 1 is our first family Christmas with Emma in Minneapolis. Emma was pretty excited and so were we. One of the magical things about being a parent is exploring the world through your child's eyes. There are so many things in the world for Emma to discover and every time she runs across something new she encounters it with eyes full of wonder and curiosity. Often times she will stare, dumbstruck, at something she's never seen before, and then give a shrill of joy and a big smile as she looks back as us as if to say, "Are you seeing this! Can you believe it?!". Then she goes right back to discovery mode. Emma's curiosity and sense of awe is one of my favorite things about her and I look forward to (re)exploring the world with her.
This Christmas there were many new things to be discovered such as the Christmas tree, lights, snow, presents, and on and on. When it came to the present opening she couldn't have cared less about what was actually in the gift, but man did she like to get her hands on the wrapping paper. Here are some pictures of the week before Christmas and our "Christmas night" opening presents in our house.
Emma helped me wrap presents. She was a pretty good help...when she wasn't putting everything in her mouth :)
Emma is digging into her giant size stocking - an oversight by her parents led to a 3 foot long stocking. Ooops.
All the excitement is tiring.
It's a good thing she rested up because the next day we took off for Reinbeck to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas day with Melissa's family. Tune in for part 2. :)
With love,
Jason, Melissa, and Emma
