Christmas in Vermont

We had lots of family fun in Vermont this Christmas. Emma had her first real taste(and I do mean taste!) of snow. We went sledding and built a snowman. Emma wasn't quite sure what to make out of all of it but she wasn't complaining either. She even laughed a little during her sled ride.

Getting ready for our first sledding experience!

Mame and Emma were all smiles;-)

Here they go...It was much more fun lying down.

Like my first snowman? Not too bad huh?...okay so I had a little help:-)

Walking!

Emma started to test her legs last week, now she is walking all over the place! Its like it happened overnight. First we had a baby, now we have a little girl who is all about her independence.
She is fearless...a little scarey for Mom and Dad.

Emma's 1st Birthday, December 13, 2008

We started the morning with a few presents from Mommy and Daddy. Emma was more interested in the bows on the presents then ripping the paper. Mommy ended up unwrapping all the presents she wrapped asking herself...why did she bother wrapping them in the first place.

Then the party...more presents... now she was a much more interested.

There was singing and cake...and a very tired baby.

Finally on Mame's lap Emma partook in her first birthday cake. Yum!

"I'm not tired any more Mommy!"

Mommy and Daddy were so busy running around we didn't take a lot of pics but there were about 10 babies and 40 +adults present to help Emma celebrate turning one. Thank you to all of our family and friends for your love and support. It has been an incredible year.
