A Merry Christmas for all

We celebrated our first Christmas with Emerson with both of our families. Ryan's family holds their big festivities on Christmas Eve and my family on Christmas day, so we spent a few days triangulating the state, but were able to see everyone.

Enjoying some books with cousin Paige.

Losing the battle for her 'cell'.

Enjoying a song from cousin Emily.

This is my favorite - an attempt to get a decent picture of these 3 (the girl on the left is Dennis & Terry's neighbor's granddaughter).

Hanging out with Uncle Ed.

Reading one of Emerson's many new books she received.

Christmas morning (yes, I know, we should've taken hundreds more)....

Taking a much needed nap on the way to Greenville. On Christmas Eve, she didn't go to bed until 10:30, which is way beyond her usual time (and she only took a 30 minute nap in the morning). Way too much stimulation for such a little girl, but she did very well with minimal crabbiness.

It was SO good seeing all of you - and to make you feel a little better, Paige was up from 3am until 6am Christmas morning. She was so OVER it.
