Merry and Bright!


This holiday has been an absolute blessing filled with many wonderful memories. Emma has truly been a joy to watch over the past few days. She has had so much fun being with many family and friends...enjoying new toys and spending lots of time with her mommy and daddy. As we are waiting for the new year to come we are hopeful for continued good health...many fun memories to fill our lives...and many more moments to share with our family and friends. We love each one of you near and far...hope your '08 is Merry and Bright! :)

As you can see...this year was the first time Emma has really figured out present unwrapping. She was a pro by the third day of Christmas. If you look real close...she definitely concentrated by sticking out her tongue just a bit to help her really focus on the task at hand. :)

You know the saying...something old is new again. Grandpa Rod helped transform this worn down old table to a brand new life. This brown table and chairs used to be mine as a young girl. I had many a tea party in its day. We thought it was time for a new face lift. Can you believe how beautiful it is?? Grandpa Rod painted it...wrapped it with new seat covers...replaced the table top and put new feet on the legs. He is so talented. Thank you Grandpa Rod for all your hard work and many hours you spent to bring it back to life. Emma will enjoy it for years to come. In fact, she and daddy have already had a couple of tea parties. :)



On Sunday, December 23, Emma met her Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Horstman and Great Aunt Lori. She had a great time running around showing off all her tricks.
