Happy New Year!

We decided to toast at midnight in Florida so the Emster could get to bed...

Another Visit from the Tooth Fairy...

Emi lost another tooth this month! We're not sure this one was absolutely ready to come out, but she made Daddy yank it out anyway. My brave little girl!

Ho! Ho! Ho!

Please no, not yet! We're not ready! After getting Emi to bed rather late, ensuring that we left out a plateful of World Peace cookies and Silk Nog for Santa and exactly 9 baby carrots for the reindeer, Emi was up and at 'em at 4:29 am ready to open gifts. She burst into our room announcing that Santa had come (he must have JUST left), we inventoried the tree, read Santa's note about having to ship Emi's locker because it wouldn't fit on the sleigh, then went back to bed until a reasonable hour.

More Respectable Hour

I actually had to wake Emi up 3 hours later to open gifts. Needless to say we were draggin' around most of the morning...

Up on the Housetop?
