NYE

I wish you all a great welcome to the new year! 

Doctors, and Dentists, OH MY!

Today turned out to be a busy day. Emma had her two week recheck for the lingering ear infection.  The ear infection was gone, BUT she has a sinus infection and is on another antibiotic!  Oh the joys of being a daycare kid!  After leaving the doctor we went to get breakfast and ate at my dad's car lot.  While there dad put Emma to work.

While we were there, my sister-in-law texted me to see if Justin and Emma could go by and get their teeth cleaned (she is the family hygienist!)  So we picked up Emma's medicine and traveled across town for Emma's first dentist visit!  My SIL had me hold Emma in the chair while she counted her teeth and then brushed them.  We are going to have to make a few more trips before the actual cleaning occurs!  After she finished she played and watched her dad get the scrub down.  She even held his hand for a minute in case he was scared!

Last thing, my mom got Emma a pair of pink cowboy boots for Christmas and she wore them with a cute leopard print outfit.  I just love them!!!

Christmas Tour 2012

I finally have had a chance to sit down to catch a break!  I have a terrible cold (a gift from Emma) and I have unpacked and cleaned up Christmas all day. 

Here's a summary of our Christmas... Christmas Eve we traveled to Justin's mom's.  We ate Italian food and the kids got gifts.  We later did a Christmas swap with his mom and step dad.

Christmas Day we got up and Emma opened her gifts.  Well, she jumped on her trampoline while we opened most of her gifts! Needless to say, a two year old would be set with just a trampoline and nothing more!

Emma's Mimi got her a Barbie Jeep.  She isn't so sure of it right now!

For lunch we headed up to my mom and dad's house for Christmas.  We had a fun time with my Mamaw Kat who joined us!

Mom and Dad got Emma this cute tricycle!  Can it be summer now?!?!?

Christmas night we went to visit Justin's grandfather and have Christmas with his dad and wife.  Here's Emma with Papa Bill who got her a super sweet easel!

Ornament

Here is Emma's ornament for this year.  While in HHI Erika helped make this a reality.  A teaching partner drew a the pattern from one I found online.  I think she turned out pretty great!  Last year Erika helped me make the owl I posted earlier.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.  We did and I'm EXHAUSTED!

Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas to all!

Christmas Island

Emma and I are home!  We had a nice whirlwind of a trip!  E, E and I did a 5k yesterday and then I drove back to Greenville for the night.  Emma and I both were ready to be home!  Quick trips are quite hectic with a toddler in tow! 

We also ate at my favorite spot.  Signe's!  It was yummy as usual! I had broccoli quiche and Emma and I split a piece of pink lemonade cake!  SO GOOD! (Rachel Ray taped part of one of her shows there many years ago!

Christmas in the Sand

I need to add some pictures since I'm super behind.
Monday, Emma got her hair trimmed while I got a color and cut!

Ariel colored  a picture for Emma and followed us to South Carolina

I am officially on Christmas break.  Wednesday afternoon Emma and I loaded up and heading to Greenville for the night. Now we are in Hilton Head for a few days! 

I think this little reindeer is enjoying herself!
