Christmas...take 2

We had a 2nd family Christmas with the Motals today. We had T's parents, brother, aunt, uncle and cousin and his wife over for an afternoon of watching Emma :) It was a lot of fun to catch up with everybody. Em hated all of the attention...hee, hee---yeah, right! Grandma Motal picked out just the right gifts for Em. She loved this doll that giggles and will equally enjoy the fairy tale book as she gets older.
Em's brain will be hard at work with this speak and say.

GM got Em this recliner. It is a mini replica of the leather chair in our living room. Em kept looking at her chair and then back at our "big" chair. She loved getting in and out of it and quickly mastered the cupholder. Ahhhhh...this is the life!

We will not be making a habit of this, but it was a pretty cute picture. She was kickin' back and relaxing as she watched Andy Pandy (her favorite cartoon).

She still really enjoyed ripping the paper today. Even tried to open up presents that were not hers. She has this whole present thing figured out and thinks that anything that is wrapped and under the tree is fair game!!!

Aunt Katherine and Uncle Chaz got Em a million pieces of food---ok not a million, but close :) She is going to love "shopping" at the Motal Grocery and then setting up her table with all of these delicious goodies.

At the end of the evening, T and I were cleaning the kitchen and when we peeked around the corner, Em was sitting at her table entertaining herself---while holding her new teddy bear. It was a really cute moment and reminded us, yet again, that Em is growing up far toooo quickly!

So, presents put away (sort of) and Em's play area now looks like a mini livingroom. Thanks to the Pattons and the Motals for making sure that Em had a wonderful Christmas!!!
