Are there words for this?

A Merry Christmas for Emma!

Here is a 25 second video of Emma opening her presents on Christmas.....it wouldn't send with all the photos I sent and it seemed like a shame not to post it! So Enjoy!!! Merry Christmas!

Does "Santa Baby" remind you of me???

Sara Tripp says that every time she hears "Santa Baby" she thinks of me!!!! I asked her if she thought I was superficial but like a true friend she said no.......so in honor of her I have included a christmas playlist with Santa Baby on it....you can listen to it and decide if it reminds you of me too!

If you don't love my playlists (I will admit to having an eclectic taste in music!) and my Christmas playlist is less than desirable.......you can just turn them off!!!!

I have to admit putting together a Christmas playlist was difficult for me because I don't listen to Christmas music too much! So I included some of my favorites (that I could think of!) O Holy Night is probably my all time favorite (but I don't like the version I found - it sucks!) then there is Gesu Bambino (which I couldn't find a good copy of - it sucks too) but I sang it at a Christmas concert my junior or senior year of high school and I have always loved it! "Here Comes Santa Claus" reminds me of my kids! I know its a pretty pathetic list! but Merry Christmas!!!

Should I get an Augmentation....

FOR EMMA!!!!!!! hahahahaha I want everyone to know that Emma started doing this on her own! No coaching or prompting - nothing!!! She takes the shells from the food in her kitchen and shoves them in her shirt and she walks around and says "boobs"......yeah, we're so proud of her!!!!

Bill's New Hat

For our Young Women's Activity on Wednesday we learned to crochet hats! I thought it was fun because I wanted to learn to make hats but I was surprised at how much the girls enjoyed learning it. We've had previous activities teaching them to crochet already! So I will post some pictures of the hat I made. I thought at first it would be for Gage (he likes camouflage) but eventually (because I didn't know what I was doing) it became too big for Gage so I thought it would be a hat for me......but once again that became to big and now it is a hat for Bill! He was really excited about it - like way more than I thought he should be -oh well - whatever makes him happy!

Building the Gingerbread House

So on Saturday we built the annual gingerbread house. We bought that kit early in November and Gage has continually pestered about "ducorating" it. Bill said we had to wait until after Thanksgiving. Gage was prepared to come home from Wallsburg on Thursday to do it - but it was so late! Friday he was busy at a friends house so Saturday was the day. Emma loved it too - although she ate more of it than she decorated.
