Sledding and a happy baby

James is such a happy baby, he is always ready to give us a big smile

His skin is so dry all the time, so we have to constantly put lotion on him, he's not real fond of it. We put the socks on his hands when we do it so that he doesn't suck on them and eat the lotion...He loves to suck on his hands

Here is his right after the lotion, he's not too happy about it.

Geoff went up one morning after Emma woke up and this is how he found her, she likes to play in her room in the morning, but on this particular morning she wanted to do it without clothes. She couldn't get them completely off though.

Geoff took Emma sledding right after Christmas, she loves to go. He had some ski goggles that she wanted to wear, I think it is so cute when she tries to where our clothes and other things




Emma had so much fun going sledding and Mommy enjoyed the break she got. She loves the snow, and always wants to go build a snowman.

We had such a great Christmas this year. Emma had a lot of fun, and she got lots a presents. She was so excited for Santa to come and visit her. We were able to go see my Grandma later in the afternoon, we have a few pictures of Emma sitting on her lap and coloring, it was so sweet to watch her sit there.

Christmas cookies

My Mom and Emily watched Emma and James a couple of days before Christmas while I had a little surgery...they decided to let Emma help them make Christmas cookies. She had so much fun making them. She learned that raw cookie dough tastes good. She loved decorating the cookies, she loaded them with sprinkles, they ran out! She didn't try to eat one until after they were all decorated, once they finished the last one, she grabbed a cookie and started eating. It was cute.
