Emma's favorite...blocks!
When she first came down the stairs she found the bed and wanted to open all her presents lying in it!

The silly Christmas tree after Santa came...we had to decorate it only on top to prevent any breakage by certain swipers...

Snuffleupagus Garrido

Tuesday, December 16, 2008



This is Ben live about a week ago...he really broke out with the social smiles about 2 weeks ago...wicked cute! Oh, and the title is "Snuffleupagus Garrido" (I had to look up how to spell that one) because he had a cold and he was snorting like a little piggy when he laughed haha. Please ignore my baby talk. I know I sound ridiculous. I'd do anything for a smile...

New York Visits

Sunday, December 7, 2008

This past week I was the luckiest girl ever to receive my Mom, Grandma and sister for 2 and a half days. It turned out that Ben and I got pretty sick Wed. the day they arrived, and Emma was sick by Fri, so their timing was impeccable. Thank you so much Mom for taking Ben overnight - I bet I'd still be sick if it weren't for you! And thanks for all your work in the kitchen Grandma! Katie - you did a great job playing with Emma. We all miss you and had a great time while you were here! Lots of love!

My Grandma (Emmanuel taught Emma to call her G-ma hehe) helping in the kitchen.


My mom was so good with Ben!


Katie my sister and Emma rockin' with Guitar Hero.

Emma's 1st Hair Cut

Saturday, December 6, 2008

If you don't remember from other pictures, this is what it used to look like...

My mom cut Emma's hair and my sister Katie kept her distracted.


The final result...I could only get her to sit still in front of the TV of course :)
