Christmas Is Coming!!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving yesterday! We had a wonderful day with my mom here and cooked WAY too much food for 3 adults. We went to Opryland Hotel last night to look at the lights and walk through the atrium and it is absolutely beautiful! I tried getting some good Christmas pictures of Emmie for our Christmas card and didn't have much luck! Babies are really hard to get good pictures, so I will try again tonight and the next few days until I get the one perfect shot...if ever!! Here are a couple of pictures of Emmie in her cute little Gingerbread dress and stockings!! As we walked through the hotel, we just heard all the "Awwwww's", from everyone we passed, over Emmie. One woman even grabbed her husband and I heard her say (in a whispered tone), "Look at that baby, she is actually a CUTE baby!"...it was very funny!! So, I was of course the proud momma of my "actual cute baby"!!






Also, this is just the cutest thing ever, I thought I would share with all of you that have baby girls (Christi) and know of someone with a baby girl (Christy...Wendy). My mom got this for Emmie at The Loot in Andalusia and just HAD to get it for Emmie! Let me explain what it is....In the cold winter months, when you have to put a hat on your baby girl when taking her out and have to bundle her up from the weather, most people can't tell whether she is a boy or a girl baby (because they all look alike at this stage, right), sooooooo, here is a "hat" you can put on the baby to make sure everyone KNOWS "it" is a girl!!!....Absolutely ADORABLE!



I had the most people last night at Opryland just loving this hat and bow...it was sooo funny!! Although Emmie may not have thought it was too funny...or cute, for that matter!! LOL

Here are some cute pictures of MiMi and Emmie while she has been up here visiting.





And lastly, I always hear from all of you how you can't wait to just kiss all over Emmie when you see her again, so I put a little Mistletoe on here so you can all get some sweet kisses to hold you over until Christmas!! And also, look at the bottom for a cute gadget where you can leave me (or Emmie) a present!!

ONE more picture I had to put up here is of my good friend Emily (a co-worker). She has always said the whole time I was pregnant that there aren't any cute babies and how she doesn't like to hold babies, etc. (she SAYS she isn't having kids...we'll see :). Well, my mom and Emmie came to visit me at the office Wednesday and here is Emily and Emmie.....

Emily said Emmie WAS a cute baby...for a baby and she held her (for a long time) while we were here!! I think Emmie remembered her from in utero, Emily would always poke my belly and tell Emmie to move for her!! It was always funny!!
