A (Cold) Christmas in Wisconsin

Despite only being 6-7 weeks away from the arrival of baby #2, we made the trip back to Wisconsin to celebrate Christmas. The majority of the time was extremely cold (wind chills 30-40 below), which kept us indoors most of the time, but we still had fun celebrating Christmas and being with family.

Now that Emmeline's talking more, I'm trying to record some of the funny things she says so that I don't forget! :)

Countdown to Christmas

Each year Christmas gets more and more fun, as Emmeline is better able to understand what is happening. In addition to the usual Christmas tree, lights, and Santa sightings, we started a Christmas countdown this year which was lots of fun for all of us!
