Funny Little Emily!

Emily informed me the other day that this is what she wants from Santa:

I kindly reminded her that Santa brought her a kitchen last year, so he may not bring her one again this year. Her answer to that was, "that's okay, I can just sell the old one so he can bring me the new one."

Silly me, why didn't I think of that? Where do kids come up with this stuff?

I was glad to see that she wasn't disappointed with what Santa did bring her. We are driving to Colorado for Christmas this year so he left these (see pic below) on Saturday with a letter saying that if he brought them to Grandma and Grandpa's house we wouldn't be able to get them home, so he was bringing them to them now.

Updates on the House

It's been awhile since I've posted pictures of the house, so here are some recent ones for anyone who is interested. We should close mid January! We'll be expecting people to come visit more often after that!

Here is the outside. They still need to paint the shutters and finish the trim.

Here is my kitchen! It is still missing the vent hood and the tile backsplash.

Here is my kitchen tile. It is one of my favorite things! The entry also has a similar tile and pattern.

Here is the living area (looking in from the kitchen).

Santa Claus is Coming to Town!!

One of my traditions with my new babies is to have their picture taken with Santa on their first Christmas. It is the only time I can justify forking out the $15 for 1 5x7. So last night Ethan and Emily sat on Santa's lap and told him what they wanted and Emery got his picture taken. I just had to share because it is so cute!! Merry Christmas!!
