This has been a crazy fun week! I know i said last week that our churches nativity was closed but...they opened it up because the ice was melting! It was so beautiful and you could just feel the spirit when you walked in! Christmas time is so much more fun when you have a child. Emma loves opening a new book every night. She may like the wrapping paper more at times.

Also this week we got our picture taken with Santa at Bass Pro Shop. As we waited in line Emma was so excited, she was waving and smiling when i picked her up to put her on his lap...yeah that was not happening, she held on to me like i was leaving her for days, even had donkey tears. After 10 minutes of this we got back in line, more tears but she sat on my lap.

Tonight,we went and saw some lights, the lights matched the music! It was awesome! We let Emma sit in the front with us, we were going 3 mph, don't call cps on me. She was dancing to the music shaking her shoulders and saying "ho ho ho" After we drove by we got out and walked. They had Popcorn and Hot Coco, a Santa (we tried to get another picture) AND i was even able to drop of the bag of food i bought to donate! So we got two birds with one stone tonight!

I made Emma a Felt tree this year cause well being 1 she wants to touch everything, it turned out great she loves it and is so soft with it!
