Emerson helped the babies open their presents. Very much needed diapers and formula, stuffies and teethers. Thank you. Apparently Delaney didn't get what she wanted, already disenchanted with Christmas (or possibly the photo shoot)...

Emerson loved all of her presents. She got so many wonderful things - beautiful clothes, pizza party, picnic set, cupcakes and cookies, gourmet lollypops, some great new DVDs, and a drum machine (a gift from dad, because he wanted to play it - which is how dad's pick out toys. I guess its more exciting than mom buying PJs and socks because you need them...). Santa also brought a box of dog biscuits for Mingus. Thank you everyone. We had a wonderful Christmas.

Emerson stacked her stuffed animals really big and then drank some yummy hot cocoa. She loved it, although you probably could tell that from the "milk drinking" grin. Also, the mug wording does not apply to Em...she is bossy, but the "world's best boss" would be pushing it.

Boys and their toys - a vintage Lionel train set. Ellis is fascinated.

Emerson loves her babies. She is so good with them and loves to cuddle them. Notice how she is "cuddling" Ellis' head in both pictures so that he would look at the camera. In the picture with all three of them, the babies were making baby noises (somewhat in protest of the photo shoot) and Emerson suggested that there were speaking Spanish.

Emerson recently decided that she likes dressing up like a princess and dancing like a ballerina. Delaney is less amused with being dressed up.
