Christmas 2009

We had a great Christmas this year. We spent time in Cincy, Dayton, and our own home. Emma was able to wake up in her own home this year. It was darling watching her walk down the stairs and her smile when she saw the presents under the tree. We talked a lot about how it was Jesus' Birthday, and during Church she almost had a melt-down because she wanted to see the animals that were a part of the manger scene in the church foyer. Kate likes looking at the lights and is a perfect little angel.

The best presents that John and I could ever ask for!

Emma has mastered opening gifts! Santa got her a trampoline, new clothes, a soccer ball, a new signing time video, big girl undies, and a few other toys. After she would unwrap each gift, she would say "open dis Momma" - too cute!

Little sister got some practice with opening gifts too! She liked to eat the paper too!

Only Emma's personal stylist, Aunt Bec, would buy her designer shoes for Christmas!

GG feeding Kate some cereal. She's really getting the hang of it. We'll be moving on to veggies very soon!

Emma and James got matching Mustang power wheels! Now they have cars just like Papa Zinser! They even had t-shirts that said "Papa's Racing Team." It was a riot watching her buzz around - I can only imagine what it'll be like in 2024 when she gets her driver's license!
