Christmas Celebrations

We celebrated Christmas twice this year - once with each side of the family.  I have a bunch of photos so just enjoy a big slew of pictures, most of which are of Emerson.

We gave the grandparents a small book that contained a bunch of photos from our year in Mississippi.  I made a copy for Emerson, too, because he loved watching me make it.  We only got pictures of Pops and Gigi opening theirs, but it was a hit all around.  You can see it here if you like. 

The "Best Toy of the Day" goes to Buzz Lightyear.  I had the darndest time trying to get a photo of Emerson and Buzz that wasn't blurry.  

For the celebration with Nana and Poobah, I stopped taking pictures of Christmas about 10 minutes in for some reason, so I only have a few to share. 

The "Best Toy of the Day" was definitely the basketball hoop.  Emerson had so much fun playing with his 'oop' all day long.

This one kills me.  See those eyes?  They seem to be saying, "Open this box now and nobody will get hurt."

Christmas was great this year, and not because of all the gifts.  We loved giving and we loved receiving, but we especially loved spending time with our family.  What a marvelous holiday season we had!
