Snow, Xmas #2, & Nascar

We got snow here on the 26th. Probably the closest we will come to a White Christmas in the South. Here is looking up our street.
We attempted a snow man.
Of course Emmi has to eat as much as she could, but like typical snow in the south the streets were clear by afternoon and it is just about gone from our yards considering it is almost 50 degrees today.

Emmi had a blast with her Memere. She has asked Memere to stay and not go. Unfortunately I don't think it worked.
We had Bacon Explosion for our Christmas Round 2 meal with of course Pake. yum yum
Here is Woj with his godchild.

One day to kill time since the guys couldn't golf we headed Uptown to the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Emmi drove a race car.
She was the Jack Man, a job Jacob has always secretly wished he had.

Christmas 2010

All set and ready to go. The girls both got houses this year, doll house and laugh & learn as their big gifts.

Then their stockings were filled with random goodness.

Emmi also got a doctor kit from her GodMother which you can also use with a doll house, who would have known. :)


Peak a Moo

Speaking of Moo she is starting to climb. From the stairs to pushing her blue chair around to get on top of things. Friday I looked up to see her standing on the blue chair to get a closer view of the TV. This morning it continued where she stood on the chair to get to the remotes on the end table.
Chances of snow today will only help continue with the fun. Memere and Grandpy Harley come in on Sunday so we will have Round 2 on Monday.

The girls in pics

Here is Emmi watching Dora on the computer while eating her dinner all serious.

Here is Moo. She is slowly on the go. She will push chairs or boxes which we get tons of from our online Christmas shopping. But not quite ready for the push buggy.

Moo loves the applesause squeeze packs. She yells and screams if anyone has one and she doesn't.
Emmi is on vacation so hopefully we will get out and about to do some fun things. Naps seem to be fading fast with her. She now is only taking one long one like 2 days a week.

Holiday Maddness ramping up....

We got the picture done. Cards on order. They should be here by next weekend so we can get them out. Here is a random picture of Emmi after we were done as she was about to run away from the camera.

Santa has his list complete although Elfie does report daily on how things are going in this house. That is our elf from Elf on the Shelf. He just needs things for the stockings. As a matter of fact I may be making 2 new ones since I didn't love the size of the ones from last year. Anyone have any good stocking ideas for an almost 1 year old and a 3 year old????
We just need to start shopping, I mean finish, shopping for everyone else. If I shop for you tell me what you want. :)
Our one present that has come early is Marli has slept a solid 9 hours the past few days. Much better then the multiple waking she had been doing.

Doctor 9 months & 3 year check up

Perfect timing... Emmi had borrowed a doctor kit from her friend this week since I think we are the only ones without one and she was having so much fun playing with it. Definitely came in handy when we were at the girls check up today. The arm cuff thing to help check her blood pressure, the ear thing, etc she knew what they were for.

Emmi is 35lbs and 38 inches tall, for those people that care about the percentage stuff it is 90/90. Then for Moo-Moo she was 20 lbs and 12 ounces. Her length was 27 1/2 inches and 18 1/2 inches for her head. Again the percentage stuff is 75/50.

It was great to be able to take them both in for one visit. We will have to make this happen in the future once Moo gets to a once a year thing. Overall both girls are doing great. The Dr commented on how articulate Emmi's speech was after she read a book to him. I love our doctor.

Discovery Kids

This place is awesome. There is a little play area for the little ones under 3.
An Earth Fare grocery store which Emmi was all about. Guess we take her grocery shopping too much.
A doctors office where Emmi was the doctor with Cousin Benjamin. As well as boats, Ambulances, Fire Trucks, a Stage, dress up, climbing stuff, water tables to name a few things. :)
After a long day of play Moo was all tuckered out.

Turkey Day

This is the turkey frying away.
Jacob could barely wait.
And then pake, apple pie in a gingerbread cake.


Enough said. :)
