Natalie @ Eastland's Homecoming

We went to my cousin's homecoming last night. Natalie was one of two representing for her grade. Here is a little video of them announcing her.

Emma

Here are just a couple of videos of Emma while she was playing one night.

Busted!

Someone thought that she wanted to clean and decided to get into the cabinet and get out the feather duster. She knows she isn't supposed to, but it was too tempting for her!

Christmas in Illinois

We went to IL this year for Christmas. When we arrived on Saturday, 12/19, there was snow on the ground...by Friday it all melted. The temperature got down to 1 degree one day and that was way too cold me me.

We took the kids to see Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. Janie bought Karli and Emma matching outfits.

We opened stockings on Christmas Eve. Here is a picture of Emma's. Katelyn and Brianna decorated everyone's stockings.

Emma just wanted to carry her's around the whole time.

Most of the gang...Emma was sleeping, Aubree had already left, and Austin couldn't be there this year.
