Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!! Emma and I (Mike was home, sick) spent Thanksgiving with my mom, Ben, my sisters Amber and Brittny, my brother Nick, and Clint and his family. It was a great time and Emma had a blast playing with all of the kids. Emma DID learn how to put olives on her fingers, which was a huge hit in her book!
This morning, we all met for shopping very early--got to Target at 6 am. Even though I didn't buy anything, it was fun anyway--and now I'm feeling like I'm almost all of the way into the holiday spirit. When I got home from shopping I lugged out all of the decorations and spruced the place up. Doesn't look too shabby! Now, I just have to start my baking!
Almost forgot to mention our encounter with Santa... Since there was no line to take Em to see Santa, I figured it would be an ideal time to have her picture taken. Well, she seemed to be fine until we got to the rope to enter the area--then, she came unglued and started crying "Mommy, mommy, mommy!"! My little sister, Brittny, thought she would try to make it easier for Em, so she went up and sat on Santa's lap herself. Emma seemed a bit uncertain at first, then she started crying again: "Bitt-ny, bitt-ny, bitt-ny..." which soon turned into SCREAMS of "BITT-NY!!!" as if to tell her "Get away from him!!!!". It was so hard not to laugh, but she was pretty upset. So, we left Santa and continued shopping. On our way back past him after shopping, however, Santa made the mistake of waving to her, which started everything all over again!
