We've had a lot of fun playing in the snow and setting up Christmas decorations.

Emma loves to go outside no matter what the weather. Here she's wearing her mothers hat that makes her look like a knight with blue chain mail on. Also, she was VERY excited to make a snowman and place a carrot for the nose.

It seems when Emma is outside in the winter, all she does is eat snow. Mom was nice enough to bring some inside for her to eat. She had fun helping to decorate the Christmas tree this year. William had fun eating any decorations he could get his chubby paws on.

Lazy winters

Each winter in Wisconsin we have had church canceled at least once because of the weather. I think it’s because members have to drive so much farther to get to church. Today happened to be another one of those days, so in our down time I decided to update our blog. It feels strange just sitting home on a Sunday especially since church usually takes up 4-5 hours of our day with extra meetings, set up, clean up, and travel time. But I guess it is nice to take a day off now and then when we’re forced too!

Emma likes to get down in Williams pack'n'play once in a while and play. Many times when she wakes up from a nap she'll stick her fingers out under her door and implore first "mommy", then "daddy" to come rescue her. This time William happened to come to her rescue.

Emma loves stickers! She places them strategically throughout the house on furniture, toys, etc. But this time we got a huge laugh when we discovered her in this state. As always, William screams, and charges when he sees the camera, because he wants to taste it.

William loves to sit in the sun, and this time he was laying on the couch with his arm wedged between two cushions. He was very sweet and serene (and bald). In the swing he reminds us quite a bit of Emma who also enjoyed a good swing.

Emma absolutely loves music and dancing. She'll sit up to the piano and play and sing like she's an old pro, then change the page every 5-10 seconds as if she is extremely picky. We'll post a video of her latest. Below we have a typical William reaction to a camera.
