Please Touch

My sister is in town for the Holidays, and along with Grammy we took Emerick to the Please Touch Museum in Philly. He LOVED it. His favorite was the grocery store :-)

Merry Christmas!

Three Little Cousins

We got together last minute with Gracie and Aaron this evening to exchange Christmas gifts a little early. Emerick loooooves his cousins equally (even though he calls both Gracie AND Aaron "Gay-cie" ;-)

New Traditions: A Special Visitor

We have decided to start "Elf on a Shelf" this year! My parents got him for us this Christmas, to start the tradition next year, but I think Emerick will get a kick out of looking for his Elf every morning since he is fascinated by all of the decorations he sees everywhere. So we got the gift a little early. I am sure E will have a better understanding next year and also give him his name next year...but I am looking forward to starting this fun new tradition. Don't know what "Elf on the Shelf" is? CHECK IT OUT!

Here is our Elf! Isn't he adorable?

2010 Santa Photo

Tuesday evening we took Emerick to visit Santa. I thought he would do fine, he has never been a child who is scared of strangers, or costumed characters, etc. (Despite what the past two years Santa photos look like). The whole car ride to see Santa, we told Emerick what we were doing and that Santa brings him lots of Buzz and Woody toys. He seemed excited. But, as you can see he was pretty scared of Santa. I would be scared of this "Santa" also! Last years Santa was scary too! But look at the 2008 Santa. He was by far the best one I have ever seen. So legit.
