Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas, everyone!!  We had an absolutely wonderful time celebrating Emma's first Christmas at home.  We spent lots of time with family and friends and just relished in having Emma home with us.  Santa was very good to all of us, but the very best present was having Emma there on Christmas morning (plus, she was still asleep at 8:30AM, so we went in to wake her up!  I'm sure that's the first and last time that will happen on Christmas morning...).  Emma asked for her two front teeth for Christmas, but ended up getting her two bottom teeth!  She is happy and healthy and doing great. 

Aunt Lindsay came to visit on Christmas Eve and we all went to Emma's first Christmas mass. 

She was very excited!

So was Mommy!

We changed into some comfy clothes and opened a few gifts... like new Christmas PJs!! 

Aunt Lindsay helped Emma open her gifts...

Matching Yankee/Red Sox onesies!  She's very judicious ;-)

Emma tried out Oliver and Charlie's new puppy bed too - and she approved! 

Christmas Day with Aunt Lauren! 

She got lots of cuddles and smooches.

... and some new toys too! 

... like a Tickle-me-Elmo! 

Everyone was tired after a big day! 

So she rested up with Daddy.

We were off for more Christmas celebrations the next day! 

Emma had to check out Aunt Barb's necklace.

And she got to hang out with her cousin Ayla!

She got some more snuggles with Memere and Grampa this week too! 

Memere helped her open her gifts..

... and Emma tried out Grampa's new hat too!  Fits just right! 

We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas, and have a Happy New Year!
