Christmas

We managed to save some presents for Emma to open on Christmas, and boy did she have fun! We went to mom's house and celebrated Christmas with us, Mom, Sam and Larry. It was nice to have family around this year. We put Emma's presents in a circle around her and let her dive in. Uncle Larry helped when Emma got stuck, but for the most part Emma opened her presents herself. I'll try to remember Emma's presents as best I can.

Graham Cracker: Jammies
Grammy and Papa: Sort and Spin Blender, Playskool stacking blocks, walker
Auntie Sam and Uncle Larry: Bird nightlight
Mommy and Daddy: Rattles / teethers, Nursery Rhyme Book, Talking ball (?)
Grandma and Grandpa Hancock: Poodle skirt and Crawl and Cruise Jungle
Uncle Kevin and Aunt Kisa: Fish rattle and gift card
Uncle Norman and Aunt Kristie: Teddy bear with a blankie

I am sure I am forget some of her presents, but that's all I can remember for now. Santa brought Emma some green beans, peas and puffs for her stocking. All of which are Emma's FAVORITES!

Around this time, Emma started crawling on her hands and knees finally, and she is really working on standing. Emma has mastered waving and clapping, but once she figured out how to do both, she moved on to other things. She pretty much only waves at herself in the mirror now!
