This Christmas we did a lot of new things. First, Everyone sang a beautiful rendition of "The 12 Days of Christmas." Well, almost everyone. SOMEONE didn't join in. I think Daddy was trying to go to his happy place! After the gifts were open and the kids were asleep, Mommy and Daddy played with some of the toys. Well, Mommy tried. Daddy is frighteningly good at hula hooping!

More Christmas Eve
Emma got a new dolly!
And a safari outfit!
And here's one of those fights..."Mine! Mine! Mine!"
This is one of Mommy's favorite pictures. Emma looks so grown up!
If you've ever seen the movie "Alligator" you will appreciate this picture.

Christmas Eve continued...
Emma and Jager fighting for Yiayia's attention.
Thea opened a coconut to drink. Emma had already tried it at this point and she can't believe that Jager is actually drinking it! Neither can Mommy! I've had enough coconut milk to last me 3 lifetimes!
Such a ham!
Thea, Emma, and Jager enjoying the evening.
No kids in this picture (technically, anyway). But if you know Papou at all then you know why this is a perfect gift and had to be documented here!

Christmas Eve 2009
These two cousins love each other so much. They're always hugging and playing (and fighting) together. It's nice that they're so close.

Christmas Time Again
One night Emma and Mommy decided to play with Mommy's party make-up. Would you believe that Emma applied her make-up all by herself?
YAY! Santa! Emma was so proud of herself. After we left the store she kept saying "I love Santa. Santa's fun! No crying!" Mommy was very proud of her, too.
Poor Daddy and Emma. Daddy's been very sick for the last week and Emma, after spending Saturday night vomiting, developed an eye infection in both eyes and an ear infection.
Mommy's trying to catch up on some blogging while Emma recovers and the dogs relax.

December 2009
Emma likes to eat on the counter like a big girl. Sometimes she likes to pretend it's her birthday.
One day Jager came over and we pretended we were in a marching band.
Earlier this month, Emma went with Mommy and Daddy to Mommy's clinic Christmas party.

More lights
Emma really likes posing in these things. She's wondering who that other beautiful girl is who is getting her photo taken, too.
Emma running away with her new balloon penguin.
Always the center of attention.
Our visit was too short. Bye bye, Victoria! We'll miss you!

Roper Mountain Lights
Emma playing house with Victoria.
Later on we went to the Roper Mountain Christmas light show. Emma posed for a picture.
Emma really liked sitting in the sleigh with Victoria.
Mommy decided she'd join the fun.
A family affair.

Thanksgiving with Victoria
This Thanksgiving we had a special treat! Victoria, our cousin from Greece who is studying in Maryland, came to visit!
Emma was very excited to meet her and although she was shy at first, she quickly decided that Victoria is a great playmate!
One night we went downtown. Emma has a thing for trains.
It took Daddy a while to convince Emma that she could not pull the train out of the tunnel.
When we got back to Yiayia's house, Emma put the first ornament on the Christmas tree.

Beat FSU
Here Emma is pretending to sleep in Thea's arms. The smile kind of gives her away.
OK, not so fake this time.
Again, the real deal. I think night games aren't meant for toddlers.
Then again, maybe we need Emma to keep us awake!
Good game!

FSU game
No title for this picture, it was just a cute shot.
Now back to business. Time to beat FSU!
We need to make sure we look good, of course!
Maybe we'll accessorize!
Well, I guess I can help put up this tent.

Matt's Birthday Party
Today we went to celebrate Matt's birthday. While the adults talked, Emma enjoyed playing on the swings.
Having Jager there made it even more fun.
Because Matt has 2 little girls, there were plenty of toys to play with.
Emma felt very special that she got to sit in Matt's lap as he cut his cake.
And on the way home, Jager let Emma wear his Halloween head!
