The holiday season started early with our first stop in Denver! We visited Great Grandma at her house for a very fun & relaxing week.
Emma got an old-school toy: the phone on wheels from Fischer Price...she loves answering it and saying "hi" in her own certain way.
"Hello?"
First Baby Doll - big hit still today.
Christmas Eve we celebrated at The Curtis house. Here is Emma trying to blend in as a Christmas Tree in the background. Can you find her? She's here with her good friend, Julia (Tuttle) Law
Julia & Emma were born about 2 weeks apart so it's been fun to see how they're growing together.
Emma on Christmas Morning at the Finn's. She had her own stocking that she enjoyed finding a seemingly endless bag of goodies left by Santa. But the wrapping paper was one of the big hits of the day...
Christmas at The Finn's in Jefferson. Pictured here with Connor & Great Aunt Pam from Kansas City.
A little time with Great Grandma Helen.
And Great Aunt Mary, too! All the excitement of new people and a new place in Jefferson was a lot of fun for Emma!
The lights and ornaments were a HUGE hit with Emma. She could have watched the Christmas tree all week.
Christmas with the Swansons at Jay & Lori's house in Ames!
Lots of learning as we played with Cousin Mona.
...And Cousin Reagan loved to give me my favorite snacks...
We made a few breakfast stops at The Cafe...
Here we are with Godparents Steve & Brittany Bauer
And her new BFF Hillary...
No trip to Ames isn't complete without a stop at Little Taipei chinese food with friends Jafar & Laura. Ms. Chang's thumb is pictured at left.
Playing some tunes with Grandpa
...and Grandma...
...and Solo...
Emma is a huge dog enthusiast. She's rather indifferent to cats, but dogs...
Breakfast with Papa
Celebrating Mom's 30th birthday. With my fave, Dairy Queen cake!
