Callie and her "friend"

This is my favorite picture from our trip to Salem. Callie would crawl over to the door and talk to (and kiss) her reflection in the glass. It was awesome that she found her little "friend."

New PJs

Emmy and her "cool" new PJs from Grandma.


Callie rocking her second pair of Christmas PJs (these were from Grandma Pat).

CHRISTMAS MORNING!!!

Emmy got a bike from Santa -- and loved it!


Emmy and Callie opening presents.

It wouldn't be Christmas without a doll that gets glitter all over the house!


Callie and Dumpster were all about Christmas!

Who needs presents when we have ribbons and bows?

Callie and Kaleb were more interested in the ribbons and bows on the presents than the actual presents. This was Christmas Eve.

Just a cute picture

Kaleb -- a.k.a. "The Dumpster"

This is Blake and Erin's little boy, Kaleb. We hadn't seen him for a couple months; boy did he get big! He has had several nicknames, most recently "Dubbster." Emmy thought we were calling him "Dumpster" so she started calling him that and I liked it, so I am trying my hardest to make it stick. Who wouldn't want a cute little nephew named "Dumpster?"

The next American Idol?

Dallan's parents got a karaoke machine for Christmas and Emmy was more than happy to sing a few numbers.

Emmy and Grandpa MyMy

Emmy and Stacey's dad, Myron.

Dressed up

Grandma Pat sent some cute Christmas dresses for Emmy and Callie.

Emmy smooths things over with Santa

Last year she wasn't quite sure about Santa, but this year she was first in line. I guess she figured that with a list as long as the one she wrote, she should become friends with the fat man.

"Can I have some?"

Callie is getting the hang of standing up.

Callie's huge new coat

Callie got a new coat for our trip to Provo for Christmas. This was just too cute to not post.

"We were just enjoying a little arts and crafts time..."

Emmy had fun painting these mugs with Dallan's cousin, Heidi, while Dal and Stace were at Dal's work Christmas party. The best part was drinking out of them the next day...

Emmy tries her hand at building a house...

Dad helped a little, but the design was all Emmy. Don't you wish you lived in a house that was made of all of these treats!

Move over Charlie Brown...There's a new little tree in town!

Emmy got this little tree from Heidi. It is dwarfed by our (not so) big tree, but she loves it and takes care to make sure the ornaments are perfect everyday.
