Christmas Memories 2011
On Christmas Eve, we went to our church for a candlelight service. We really enjoyed that as a family. Following service, we had a quick dinner and went home to get ready for Santa.
Some of the photos are a little out of sequence, but you'll find lots of smiling faces as we traveled through Christmas Eve to New Years Day.
These are a couple of cute photos taken in Emmalene's room one night before bedtime. The girls were being silly and playing on the floor with one another.
Madison had just as much fun playing with Emmalene's toys as she did her own. Emmalene got a cash register with play credit cards and money. It also came with a shopping basket and food. They've both enjoyed playing grocery store together!
Madison's special gift this year was a cell phone. She was very excited!
A quick photo taken while the girls were listening to iTunes. Emmalene begs Madison to take her to the office to sing.
Emmalene got a baby doll that drinks a bottle, snores and cries! She doesn't quite know what to think about all of that! She got her binky and waited for us to hold the baby first. A lot for her to take in!
Emmalene played with the baby while she was in the box, but once out, she needed a little reassurance that she really isn't scary!
When Emmalene opened this outfit she said, "It's so cute!"
Enjoying a warm cup of hot cocoa.
Emmalene was excited that Madison kneeled down beside her. While trying to take the photo, she was more interested in smiling at Madison.
My brother normally takes our Christmas photos, but this year he was pretty busy. So, I decided to do them myselves. I got the kids dressed in their Christmas best and let them pose themselves around the Christmas tree and Nativity scene. They really had a lot of fun since they thought they were in charge of the photo shoot!
My sweet Madison! She loos so grown up!
Emmalene was intrigued by the Nativity scene. She played with the figures for awhile. What a cute photo this turned out to be.
Once I moved the Nativity in front of the tree, Emmalene really had fun going from corner to corner trying to investigate every inch of it.

Fear the Spear!
Bruce grew up in the Panhandle and grew up watching the Florida State Seminoles. He has shared his passion for this team with Madison. In a surprise gesture from one of Bruce's clients, he was offered two tickets to FSU's Homecoming Game in November.
He came home and shared the exciting news and we decided this would be an excellent father/daughter weekend. They took a road trip to the home field and enjoyed dinner out. She came back with exciting stories of watching a live college football game that aired on TV the same night. (They were both hoping for their 5 seconds of TV fame!)
They had a great time and I'm thrilled they had an excellent time together. Memories in the making...that's what life is all about!

A quick photo before the road trip begins! Madison said they "jammed" with the radio and Daddy taught her neat facts about FSU.
