Christmas in Wisconsin

We traveled back to Wisconsin for Christmas this year. We hadn't been back for the holidays in about 5 years, so it was time to head back for the festivities. Emma had so much fun seeing her aunts, grandma, grandpa, cousins and friends.

playing soccer...always on the move!

We bought my mom snowshoes for Christmas so I had to take her out and show her how it's done.



We took Emma sledding almost every day. Boy, now that's a workout for Andy and me.


Wheeeeeee!

Emma Meets Santa

Emma's daycare had their holiday party this afternoon. Santa even joined in for the festivities! I don't think Emma knew quite what to do. She just sort of stared at his beard.

9 Months Old!

We went all festive for this photo shoot...

Happy Holidays

Last night was our annual holiday feast with friends.

Our friends, Julie and Everett, have a daughter about a month older than Emma. It's fun to watch them interact.



After our delicious feast, we decorated sugar cookies.
