Christmas, Part I

Emma and Daddy have been in Chicago since Thursday night, and Emma has been having a great time. She's been getting spoiled - here she is after a glorious dinner of mac and cheese:


Grandma and Grandpa managed to get all three of their grandkids to sit still long enough to take a picture of them (no small feat!)


Here's Alexis playing with Emma (Dave was off causing trouble elsewhere)


Daddy reading "5 little monkeys" to Emma, who was busy taking notes on how to jump on the bed


Last night we got together to decorate cookies (sadly, Emma fell asleep right before we started decorating, but the rest of the crew was awake). Uncle Cort (far right) was very happy to have his picture taken.


Grandpa had so much fun that he needed to take a quick siesta to re-energize.


And Uncle Scott... well, we love Uncle Scott.


Finally, here are the cookies. Emma missed the decorating, but she was happy to help with the eating!
