November fun

Here are some pictures of some of the fun things we did in November...we went to temple square to look at the lights, Emma had so much fun looking at them, she is constantly asking to see more lights.

On our way home Emma found a pen in the diaper bag, but apparently she couldn't find any paper, so she decided to improvise.

Here are some pictures from Temple square, Emma's cousins Gracie and Brigham came with us too, they had so much fun together. Unfortunately we didn't stay too long, it was so crowded that it was kind of overwhelming for the kids. We are hoping to go back on another night when it's not so crazy.

Emma and Brigham have so much fun playing together. It's cute to watch them interact.

It was hard to get them to all hold still and look at the camera at the same time, this was the best picture I could get.

Everyone is probably wondering where James is in this little family picture, it was a little chilly outside, so we left him all bundled up in his carseat.

Emma and Brigham had so much fun playing on the grass by the big Christmas tree, I tried to get them to hold still to take a picture, but there was no way that was going to happen.

It's hard to get comfortable in a carseat with a big puffy coat on.

Little James loves to lay on his tummy, as soon as he can roll over I know where he will be sleeping.

He is growing so fast, it is amazing to us how much he has changed. He is smiling a lot, and he can already roll from his stomach to his back. He is such a strong little baby.

Emma got to help grandma decorate the tree, this is picture of her lecturing Daddy that he can't touch the ornaments.

Emma's idea of decorating was clumping all of the ornaments together.

Here is James on Thanksgiving, unfortunately I didn't get any other pictures of the kids in their thanksgiving outfits, James had a blowout before I got a chance. Emma wore a cute purple dress that my mom bought her. Thanks Grandma!

This is Emma's first bun, doesn't she look all grown up

We got to go see Santa at the UVU Bookstore, Emma wasn't so sure about him, but she did tell him that she wanted a my little pony and a castle.

Here is little James holding his head up, showing off for the camera

He loves to watch the ceiling fan or the lights.

The first snow

We had the first snow of the year, as soon as Emma saw the snow she wanted to go outside and build a snowman. Once Geoff got home from work he took her out and helped her...she had so much fun. As you can see the snowman likes to golf. She was a little bit disappointed when the snowman melted, but she is excited to build another one when it snows again. Geoff also took Emma sledding, but we didn't get any pics of that.
I think she looks so cute in her new snowsuit, thanks Grandma for buying it for her.

Happy Halloween

We had so much fun this Halloween. Emma dressed up like a fairy, and James had a little Halloween outfit. We took Emma out trick or treating and left James with my parents for a little bit. She had so much fun, we ended up going out for a really long time. She got tons of candy, and still asks to go trick or treating again.

Instead of carving a pumpkin we used a mr. potato head pumpkin set, Emma had fun with it.

Emma also loved her glow in the dark necklace that her nursery leaders gave her.

She tried to wait so patiently at all the doors, she would knock on the door and say trick or treat, it was so much fun.

This is a picture of Emma and Great Grandma, she went trick or treating up to the assisted living center earlier in the day with my mom, she had lots of fun.

Aunt Emily decided to make Halloween cookies and let Emma help, she had lots of fun rolling out the dough.

More singing from Emma

So we've told you a million times that Emma loves singing. She is getting better and better at it. Today she got out a stool, and her microphone and started singing to her hearts content. Here is a little bit of what she was doing. I'm sure you will enjoy it as much as we did.
