I have been trying to upload a bunch of videos, but have not had much success. So far, this is the only one that went through. It's a bit of a madhouse around here. I gave Brian and myself until Monday to finish up our Christmas gift projects, so we have been staying up late trying to create gifts after the kids are in bed. Plus, he is trying to get his house completed this week. It is looking so fabulous! Maybe someone will want it as a huge Christmas present?




The kids and I had a fun day yesterday. We got to visit a museum with our friend Olivia. I love to see what artists have created, but it can be a challenge with three little kids ;) They did like the part where we got donuts/cookies and also seeing the water wall fountain. We also got to swim that afternoon. We love swimming so much. Emora just laughed and laughed at the big kids jumping into the pool.

Emora has reached the unwritten child development phase of dog imitation. She loves to carry things in her mouth and crawl around. I don't put her in socks often, even though it has been cold, because they end up wet in her mouth as she trots it all over. She has been using the walker the last day or two and is so good at it, that when she comes to a stop, she pulls her hands away and claps, then realizes she is standing on her own and quickly sits herself down! Hope your days are merry and bright.
