Dec 12 - 18

Sun, Dec 12
I'm sure we did something on this day, but the only thing I seem to remember at the moment is that we switched Emily to the level 1 nipple for her bottle. :)

Mon, Dec 13
Drawing another blank. :( But going to guess we went to the mall.

Tues, Dec 14
Bit the bullet and went to take Emily to Picture people for her very first studio picture session. Our appointment was at 9:40 and it took us about 2 hours. While I was there, I had to change 3 diapers and feed her a bottle BUT it was well worth it. Mommy was very happy with the pictures, which she will post soon.

Once Emily can hold her head up we plan to take her back again this time with big brother Tyler. Can't wait.

Today was Tyler's Winter performance/potluck at school. The boys wore white and the girls wore red. It was very cute. They stood in the front of the class and sang a few songs. We Wish You a Merry Christmas, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (English and Spanish), some song about the continents of the United States and Rudoplh the Red Nose Reindeer. Tyler did an awesome job! He actually appeared to be singing, despite his jumping around and lifting up his shirt, lol.

Thurs, Dec 16
Don't think we did much on this day. I vaguely remember holding Emily while she napped, lol.

Fri, Dec 17
Mommy had some Kohl's cash so we went this morning and got her a new sweater. YAY! It will be perfect for the rainy/wetness we've been having lately. Emily always looks so warm bundled up in her footsies which has a onesie and socks underneath.

Today was Daddy's company Xmas party, but he opted not to go and instead came home early. It was also Haylie's Xmas party at school, so Aunty Vicky was nice and picked up Tyler.

We had pizza and spaghetti for dinner with the Murakami's.

Sat, Dec 18
We tried to get an early start, but daddy was lagging. Because of this we ended up having to stand in line for Tyler to see Santa. He didn't cry, but refused to smile. Oh well ... mommy bought the picture anyway, since Emily has one. Next year we'll attempt the one with both on them together.

Small fender bender ... some lady hit the back of mommy's Mazda in the parking lot. We weren't there at the time, but she was nice enough to try to leave us a note on the car. We got back just while she was attempting it and instead traded information. Looks like we will need to replace the back bumper. :(

Tyler fell asleep on the way home. Mommy made spam musubis for lunch. When Tyler woke up he was a grouch. Had give him some time before he would eat his long over due lunch and then want to go to the birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. Mommy stayed home with Em and daddy took him. He said he had lots of fun and that he LOVES it there.

In the evening, we did gingerbread house decorating at the Murakami's. Had mexican food for dinner and watched Despicable Me, although mommy didn't quite get to see the entire thing. On a side note, we didn't get all of the Transformers from McDonalds. Tyler is sad he doesn't have Megatron, but he is interested in the Bakugan toys they have now.
