|Merry Christmas!|

Hope everyone has an amazing Christmas. We can't wait to see all of our Maryland relatives in the New Year. This will be the last post until 2009!!

|7 days until the move|

...and 6 more days until our stuff is picked up, to be moved across country.

I can't post without an Emerick fix!

I don't think I ever shared this photo on the blog. I just submitted it to Chelsea's BIG FAT BABY contest, so hopefully it makes it on her show.

Such nerds in the fake snow.

|friends, santa & snow|

I'll bet you didn't know that it snows in Los Angeles? Well, it does..sort of. Last night we met our friends at the Americana in Glendale. Of course we had to visit the real Santa again, and this time Emerick didn't cry! Baby Hugo and Cleo on the other hand, were pretty traumatized. After Santa, we watched the snow fall soap suds fall. James made fun of me because I was acting like a little girl seeing snow for the first time, but it seriously seemed like real snow. Cleo loved the snow, too!

Maybe we should keep a Christmas tree up all year round, because Emerick LOVES to lay by the tree and stare at the lights. Every time we lay him there, he gets so excited and kicks his legs and waves his arms uncontrollably!

With the move being so close, things are getting busy with packing and all of the other stuff we have to do to get ready! I probably won't be posting pictures on here as regularly, until we are settled in our new place. Here are a few for now, I cleaned out the point and shoot, so here are some random pics we have taken. :)

♥ He just gets sweeter by the second, and I still can't believe he is ours.

|tree decortating|

On Tuesday night we decorated our tree. It is a small 3 footer this year. We weren't going to buy a tree since we are moving, but we couldn't resist the urge to decorate and have a tree in our home for Emerick's first Christmas. Here is a picture, and of course our little elf "helping" us decorate. :)
