Our First Christmas Together

This was our family room in the middle of the night (after Santa came). Santa covered some of the gifts in blankets this year!


















Emmie woke us up at 8:00 I think (or maybe it was 7:00). Time is a blur for me. She woke up happy. It was hilarious. We got out the camera before opening the presents because we knew her hunger pains would eventually kick in. She was just as excited as we were to have our first Christmas together!






































The only thing Santa gave Emmie was a Diaper Champ (a garbage can for stinky diapers)! By the way, if any of you are going to have a baby soon, and you are deciding on whether to get a diaper genie or not, DON'T. The brand name garbage can "diaper genie" is a rip off because you have to get certain expensive garbage sacks each time you need a refill. Spen and Diana told us about the Diaper Champ which allows you to use any kind of garbage sack, but still keeps the stench nice and sealed! Thanks Santa.






















The new pea coat Jon got from Santa was the perfect fit! I got some new gloves, a nice formal outfit, and a bluetooth headset for my cell phone. I was totally spoiled this Christmas.

Amen on the diaper champ thing! It's wonderful, especially now since we've taught Adalyn how to use it and she thinks it great fun to pull down on the handle! I haven't thrown away a diaper all month!
