Houston Aquarium

While in Houston, we went to see the Houston Aquarium.  Pops joined us.

Merry Christmas from the Family

Christmas Eve we went over to Justin's Grandma, Em's Great Grandma, house for a family dinner.  Em had so much fun passing out gifts and opening her presents.  She is so spoiled!

 Playing Santa.

 The entire family!  Three generations in one picture.  Merry Christmas from the Family!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

The other day after going to the Dbat Lakeside grand opening, we stopped by my parents' house to let Em take a nap.  Their house is significantly closer to Rowlett than our house.  When Em woke up Ga, mommy and Aunt Nae were decorating Ga's Christmas tree.  Em had so much fun helping out.

 Pretending to play the horn; backwards.

 Em thinks she is incredibly strong and likes to pick up anything and everything.  Luckily, this was almost empty.

 Being silly with daddy. She looked like one of those statues on the front of a pirate ship

 Cuddling with Daddy and Hunter.

Love you Ga!  She had to say thank you!  We have actually been working with Em on her manners and saying please and thank you.

Soccer!

Some friends of ours from church have a little boy the same age as Em.  They told us about a 2-year old soccer league they had signed their son up for.  We decided to sign Em up as well.  We arrived Saturday not sure how it would go.  To our surprise it went very well.  She had so much fun running around the field, playing inside the goal and even kicked the ball 3 or 4 times.  She was also so excited to see a friend from school playing on the other team.  Below are the pictures from The Apple Slices (Em's team) playing The Orange Slices. 

Pre-game warm-up playing with the arcade games.

 Looks like she is having fun.

Go Apple Slices!

 The field was definitely a little crowded.  10 kids, 10 parents, 2 coaches and a ref.  Each kid gets to have a parent on the field to help out.  Em would run up to the pack saying "Emeline's turn, Emeline's turn!" 

Emeline and her daddy!

My Pretty

As we began decorating for Christmas, I wanted to find a way to get Em involved.  While at the store I came across this wreth kit.  Em had so much fun decorating it.  She was so proud and calls it her pretty.
