The Snow at Victoria Gardens

These are all pictures of Emma looking at or pointing at the "snow" that was falling around the tree at Victoria Gardens. It was actually quite a moment, because there was Christmas music and all the children were so excited. My mom and I got a little misty (that means emotional, not drunk right?). It was a really nice evening. By the way, in this first picture it looks like my dad has a golden tooth. No he was not in Public Enemy.

We ate dinner at the food court at Victoria Gardens

and then we walked over to see the huge

270 foot Christmas tree

Ignore the hair; I was wearing a hat

Thanksgiving

Okay, yes we are idiots. Thanksgiving is super important and we did not take any pictures. We went to Dustin's mom's house and had a great time; we even took our camera inside and everything, but we were too dumb to take pictures. I mean it would be great to have them because last year Emma was like 4 days old. Maybe we can get some pictures from Linda to post. She is smart and took pictures. Here are some things we would like to have had pics of:

• Emma playing with grandma Linda's bears
• Emma opening her birthday present from Aunt Glenda and Uncle Russel
• Emma playing with her new school bus wagon
• Emma eating her first thanksgiving turkey
• Emma dancing for the whole family
• Emma attacking Aunt Glenda's earings and laughing
• Emma and the family
• Dustin eating a chip
• Miranda's Christmas list

Oh well, use your imagination.

Emma's Birthday Present

for her birthday.
