Christmas pictures 2010

We took these after church on Dec. 19. They are not the greatest but Emilee was not in the picture mood that day!

This one sort of looks like Harrison has Emilee in a head-lock!

Someone gave us this dress last year after Emilee was born. I decided she needed a few pictures in it since she won't be able to wear it again!

Harrison wanted to be in the picture too so he walked over and put his hands on top of Emilee's hand. Emilee obviously did not want Harrison in the picture so when he touched her hand she immediately began screaming and trying to get her hand free. The picture is right after she got her hand free - the very next scene (if I could have snapped it quick enough) was Emilee slapping Harrison's hands.

Awww.... Sibiling love!

Emilee got her 2 front teeth for Christmas this year! Actually it was when were at Disney World but you can see them a lot better now!

Here's a few things that have been going on... in the past month!!!

Emilee enjoying her first ice cream cone of yogurt!

I think she has a sweet tooth!

Harrison took this picture of Luke being Santa.

Ava turns 3! I love that diva look she is giving someone!

Happy Birthday to my niece Ava!

Harrison's class party was cancelled due to the fact that we might have snow. It didn't snow and they rescheduled a brief class party. Here is he eating the cookie he decorated!

Emilee's rooster hair one morning!

This was the sweetest thing. One day I walked by the play room and heard Harrison say: "Emilee I don't mind if you knock down my tower." He sat and built tower after tower for her to knock down. I love to see them play together!

Emilee loves to get into the tupperware!

I think she likes to practice crawling up and down the "step" into the cabinet after she has emptied it.

First day drinking out of a big girl cup. She loves it because it looks more like Harrison's.

Harrison went gem mining at his school for a field trip and he is very proud of his gems. One day I walked into my room and he had put my glasses on to "examine" them.

Luke turned 2!!

Happy Birthday to my nephew Luke!

I didn't think I would get this look from her so soon!

This was their picture with Santa this year - Emilee was not so happy about it!

This is Emilee's favorite thing to do right now. She finds a sock and then crawls all over the house with it hanging out of her mouth. I have tired to replace it with other things, little blankets, stuffed animals etc., but nothing else will do!

This was Harrison Christmas ornament he made at school.

This was Harrison's response after he twirled it around until it flew off the hook and broke! Thankfully daddy came to the rescue and was able to recreate the rudolph ornament with one of our ornaments!

Crawling with a sock again!

Disney World!!

The castle was absolutely gorgeous at night!

Sunday night we went to Hollywood Studios and went to a dance party at Playhouse Disney. Here is Harrison breaking it down!

This was Monday morning at Animal Kingdom. It was a little cold and we were all bundled up ready for the safari!

Tuesday in front of the castle.

I am very behind on blogging and I will try to catch up, but for today I wanted to get a few of our pictures from Disney up here today.

We had a really great time despite a little rain and VERY cold weather. We won horrible parenting awards for keeping our kids out till midnight one night but it was worth it. They have caught up on their sleep nicely now and I enjoyed sleeping in a little later too while they caught up.

This was Mike, Harrison and Emilee's first trip and I think they all had a great time. Harrison loved the rides and begged and begged to ride them (even at midnight!) Emilee was a trooper and enjoyed the rides and the shows too. She took some great naps snuggled in the Baby Bjourn or stroller. Mike thought the rides were great and we both enjoyed seeing the look on both of our children's faces as they soaked everything in. We went with Mike's brother John and his family. They are Disney pros and navigated us around the parks so we got to see and do as much as was humanly possible (with 4 kids four and under).

It was a great trip and we can't wait to go again in a few years!
