I just liked this picture of Emily and Vinnie and wanted to share. I was trying to get Vinnie's 7 month shot with the monkey and Emily wanted in the picture, so I took a few with her.

Thanks for the Great Christmas

We want to thank everyone for helping to make our holiday season merry and bright. I finally uploaded the pictures to share. I was hoping to comb through them and clean them up, but that isn't happening so I am just sharing them as is.

ENJOY!

Holes

We made a quick trip to the mall tonight so that Emily and Vinnie could see Santa. The plan was to go immediately after Emily got off the bus and get there before the crowd.

Well, there was no crowd there, that is for sure! But there was no Santa either. Santa's sign said that he wouldn't be back for an hour.

So what else could we do but go get Emily's ears pierced?

Actually we just went to see if we could watch someone get their ears pierced as Emily was interested in having it done, but was afraid. Next thing you know she is determined to get it done.

I didn't know if she was going to go through with it, but luckily two girls did it together so both ears were pierced simultaniously. I don't know if she would have done the 2nd one if they did it one at a time.

I was proud of her. She handled it great and, while there were tears immediately after, she recovered quickly and was tickled pink with her earrings. Well, tickled green. She picked the birthstone for December as her earrings?!?! It was her choice so I didn't argue with her.

She is thrilled with the resuts and before bed tonight was amazed that they didn't hurt at all and she even forgot that they were there!

More Thanksgiving Pictures

Similar to our earlier pictures of Vinnie and Miley, here are some pictures from Thanksgiving Day.

We can take pictures but only in 5 minute segments, it appears.

Thanksgiving Tree

I thought we would share our Thanksgiving tree as many of you helped create it. Emily's been having fun reading them and counting the leaves over and over.

Thanks for helping to create our Thanksgiving decoration!

Look Alikes?

So, what do you think?  Do they look a bit a like? 
I don’t think anyone is going to argue whether or not they are brother and sister.  Matter of fact, I think people may just wonder why we dressed Vinnie up in a girlie hat.
I wonder if Vinnie will have curly hair.  Actually, at this point I just wonder if Vinnie will get hair period.

 

 

I should have waited

Emily got into the spirit of the game too! And the black on her face? Totally her idea!

Go Bucks!

BEAT BLUE!!

Vinnie is ready for the game today. He has asked that I schedule his naps around the big game! He wants to see the Buckeyes crush that team from up north.
