As you know from the last post, we had a great Thanksgiving day with family, and then enjoyed the next 3 days just the 3 of us with Robert home from work. We had a list a mile long of projects we wanted to get done, and even though we accomplished a lot, there is still more on the list! A couple of the big things that we got done include decorating the house for Christmas, rearranging some things in our room, got all of our Christmas ordering done, and installing Emma's new car seat. We thought the car seat would be no big deal, and maybe take 20 minutes to install, but it wound up taking up about half of our Sunday! I don't think the car seat was designed for the type of seats that the Xtera has, but we got it in, and Emma looks so much more comfortable then she did in her infant seat. Hopefully it will be easier when we turn it forward facing!
We are getting ready for a busy week that includes a Christmas Dinner for Robert's work, hair appointment for me, Christmas shopping with my mom and grandma, a holiday boutique in the neighborhood, and picking up her pictures that we took at the Target Portrait Studio. That reminds me - the pictures at the studio went ok. Emma of course didn't smile, but we were still able to get some cute pictures. She had her sad face for a couple and the photographer liked it so much that he asked if I would sign a release so maybe they could use it for promotions/coupons/idea books etc. So if anybody sees Emma's picture in a Target, or get an advertisement in the mail, let me know! We will also be on "teeth watch" over the next week. Not sure if they are coming yet, she was just a little more crabby this weekend and seemed to be doing a lot of chewing! We'll see!
Our Christmas Tree
This year we got to include "Baby's 1st Christmas Ornaments"!
Checking out the ornaments. She can already pull down the tree!
Much easier to take her picture if she is in front of the tree and can't see all the pretty lights and ornaments!
Our stockings! So fun to put up Emma's! (It's the snowman one)
Have a great week!

We are on tooth alert here too. Sophia did a lot of extra sleeping and drooling this weekend and just wasn't herself. I am jealous that you already have your house decorated. We haven't even started and I have a feeling that we won't until next weekend. Have a great week!
