I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! (Greg, this Rosa photo is for you)
For the first time in my adult life, I didn't have to travel for the actual Christmas day. It was nice. We did, however, get an early Christmas when we went to Missoula to see Matt's parents Dec. 21-23. It was a LONG trip back, and we broke the CV joint in the car when we returned, but we still had a great time.
Even though Anne Marie wouldn't talk to Santa, he took pity on her and was VERY good to her this year. Her favorites: a set of doll accessories (stroller, playpen, bouncer, tummy time mat, nuk), a big bundle of blocks and a Memory game from her Grandma. She impressed me with that Memory Game! My mom got out a set of the little cards with five matching pairs. She didn't miss one. She remembered where every match was every time. That girl is observant. I have to be careful.
Her doll stuff has shown me how precise a toddler can be. When Santa put the stuff under the tree, he stuck one doll in the play pen, another in the stroller, another on the tummy time mat, etc. Now, that is where each of those dolls belong. Bobbi must sit in the stroller, but cannot go in the playpen. Susie cannot leave the tummy time mat. Anne Marie was a bit sad that the playpen was so small. She loves to sit in them!

Every day since Christmas, Anne Marie has spent the entire day "playing toys." She's still excited and overwhelmed, and her birthday is less than a month away. She loves her new shoes, and wouldn't let me take them off for a nap yesterday.

We had a very white Christmas- it didn't stop snowing and blowing the entire day. In the afternoon, we built a pretty good snowman (almost Snowzilla :)) In my honor, Alex and Matt made it pregnant.

I was really excited about the sling I got for Christmas. I had a ring sling with Anne Marie, and I never really got the hang of it. This one is awesome, and I believe it will be really necessary with a toddler still in s stroller. I practiced with Freddy, and he stayed in there for more than an hour!

Hi Emily! It seems like forever! We need to catch up soon!! I miss you! I love the post. Glad to hear that your Christmas was Merry and that Anne Marie was such a good girl this year! I love that Freddie let you carry him around in the sling, and I am terribly jealous of your Christmas day snow (it was hot for most of our trip!). I LOVE your snow-woman!!!
