Sleeping and Shopping!

This girl was so so tired from shopping at Independence Center. We all ended up at Tim's Pizza off of 40 Hwy. Ahh! Love it! Sunday- Shawn, Emory and I got a chance to see some old friends from Texas. Miss you Elizabeth and Robert.

Christmas Picture!!!

Here is our little Emory being so good while we take her Christmas picture. We had to keep her occupied with ornaments from the tree. She is just a joy to Shawn and I. More to come....

Emory hanging out!

Today, we decorate our Christmas tree and listened to Christmas music. Emory loves Christmas ornaments and beads. Just so you know Emory loves jingle bells!!

Emory and Santa Claus!!!

While up in St. Joseph, Missouri last weekend.... Emory got a chance for the very first time to sit on Santa's lap. She was laughing and touching Santa's beard. Merry Christmas everyone!

They got to visit with Emory. We are truely blessed with great family.

Thanksgiving Weekend with the Family!!

Shawn and my brother Nick riding to the Plaza Lights on Thanksgiving night. We all piled into the van and saw fireworks, lights and even got a chance to grab a beer. We went back to the farm and crashed from a long day of cooking, eating and laughing.
