I apologize. I am so behind updating my blog. It has been a crazy three weeks. Emerson had another bad cold and the next week we found out that she had double ear infections. To top it off, Landon and I are recovering from Bronchitis and ear infections too. But the holidays were bittersweet with Em. I cannot believe that she is almost six months. She is such a beauty and a little ham. I went to pick her up from school today and she was in the swing, sitting up, not laying back. She is just like her mom and cousin Mina and cannot miss a thing. I promise I am taking a camera to see if she is doing it tomorrow.

Back to the holidays. We went to Meme and Pop's the weekend before Christmas and had a ball. It was nice not having to get up and rush to get ready on Christmas day, which is all I have known for 28 years. It was a little sad not to do the norm, but I think everyone adjusted.

Christmas Eve we went back to Meme and Pop's to the Barn and had our get together with Mom's side of the fam. It was a great location about half way for all of us. It still feels like something is missing without Nana, Aunt Brenda, and Chris' dad not there, but we had a wonderful time. (I do not have any pics yet from then, they are on Mom's camera, sorry Mina, I will get them on here!) Like I said Em had double ear infections and Christmas Eve she stayed up until 2:30 a.m. SCREAMING! Landon and I were about in tears ourselves. We told E that Santa would not be coming to our house.

Christmas morning (although exhausted) Mom and Dad came over and Landon (the master chef) cooked an amazing breakfast. Then we opened presents. Mom and Dad got Em a high chair which is great. We needed it! Mom and Dad stayed all day and let Lando and I nap.

Christmas night is when we go to Lebanon. Em and I stayed home, she was just not herself and I was working my way to Bronchitis. Landon went and called us three times so everyone could check on us and say hello. We missed everyone so much. Em got a lot of toys and clothes and we were very excited.

Landon and I got a video camera for each other for Christmas. Bear with me, I am trying to figure out how to work it. I am going to have to get Misty over here to help me. She is so great with things like that. So I hope to have some videos soon!

All in all our holiday was great. We are so blessed to have a happy, healthy little girl. We cannot wait until next year!
