Pell Family Christmas

We had a short visit with the whole Pell family before Tim, Lindsey, Luke and Jack had to leave to move to Charleston, SC (yeah for us!!! only 5 hours away!!). Then we got to spend some good time with Meemaw and Papa. Emma loves her cousins and tried to copy everything they did.

"Use a high chair? No way, my cousins don't. I'm a big girl now"

Christmas Time with the Stagge Family

Though every year my mom frets that we will not all be together again for Christmas, thankfully she has always been wrong. 29 years and going strong the Stagge family has always been able to be together for the holidays. Hannah and Emma had a great time playing with eachother and pushing every button they could find that played Christmas music....

This is Hannah's Ms. Potato Head (don't tell Emma). She carried it around all night....

Too old for matching pajama's??? NEVER!!!

Emma didn't really like her sledding experience. I think that the snow suit was a bit much....

Each time anyone fell off our tubes she got very upset and thought we were hurt...maybe next year.

Hannah's Dolls

Ahhh, Christmas, the time for sharing and gift giving for all. Including children that are too young to understand why we would wrap up something that they could play with, give it to someone else, then we aren't supposed to take it back??? What?? Here is what I imagine Emma having said when we gave Hannah these dolls for Christmas.....

Hey Hannah, check out these dolls that I got you for Christmas...aren't they pretty???

Mom, Hannah is taking my (her) dolls from me.....

Seriously, Hannah, don't touch my (her) dolls....
I am sorry, maybe you didn't understand Hannah, hands off the dolls.....

Alright, I am outta here....try and catch me crawler...I am a walker now....

Christmas Eve

It was our plan to get to Wenatchee on Christmas eve but the weather got the best of us.  We ended up being able to attend our churches Christmas eve service and then enjoy dinner with good friends instead.  Thank goodness we did not get stuck in the airport like so many other poor people did.....
