Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Emily loved all of her gifts! Thanks everyone!

Christmas Begins!

Christmas Eve

Emily couldn't stop talking about going to church and seeing Mary on Christmas Eve.

Before we went, we needed to hear a few holiday tunes.

Cute holiday dress!

Soup

Emily loves soup.

Great spoon holding technique!

Last minute chores

Emily doing some last minute cleaning to ensure she's on Santa's good girl list. This kid loves to clean!

Static

Fleece + plastic sled = awesome hair!

Science!

With swimming lessons quickly approaching, we figured it was time to teach Emily about all the fun that happens in the water. Our first trip to the Academy of Sciences was a big hit!

 Emily learns about fish.

 And more fish! (I think there's an anaconda back there).

 And turtles (and more fish)!

 And frogs!

 Dad and Emily spending some quality time in front of the aquarium

 Mesmerizing!

 The highlight of the day? Seeing the octopus! Amy snuck a photograph (without the flash). Hopefully the octopus didn't mind.
