Christmas in Florida

We spent Christmas with my family in Florida. It is always great to be with them, but it was especially fun to see the 3 cousins spend time together. 3 one year olds on Christmas day = lots of excitement!!! Emily had 2 more birthday parties in addition to her Christmas gifts. She really started to enjoy receiving and opening presents. She probably wondered why it all stopped when we got home. Here's some of the fun pictures we took.

My sisters and I and our kids:
Erin, Amy and Katie
Brayden, Emily and Travis

Emily with Aunt B.B.

Emily with Gramie and Papa

Emily in her Mickey ears!

All the cousins LOVED Brayden's car.
Luckily, Brayden was good about sharing his new gift with his cousins.

Travis staking his claim!
He hopped in and told Brayden, "GO!"

Emily and Aunt Carole

Mema and Emily

Aunt Erin made Emily a tutu for her birthday.
It is VERY cute!

Emily loves dogs. Chad wants to get a chocolate lab
someday so we got "Cocoa" for Emily for Christmas.
She seems very happy with that for now.

It was 80 degrees when we left Florida and 12 degrees when we got off the plane in Kansas! Emily was all bundled up and ready to recuperate from all our vacation fun! (And to have a nice nap in her own crib!) Thanks everyone for your kindness and generosity. We had a wonderful time. We love you!!!
