Blessing Day

On January 3rd Tony and I had Emma blessed. My father was able to bless Emma and he did an amazing job. I know he was very nervous, but he hung in there and did great. It was so amazing to see all the family come out for the blessing. We are so lucky to have that much family around that we share our special day with. Emma did really well and only cried a tiny bit during sacrament. I thought she would be more cranky considering she didn't take a nap at all in the morning like I was hoping she would. She had some pretty awesome guys in the circle who helped bless her. She had Grandpa McFall, Grandpa Huff, Uncle Preston, Uncle Scott, Uncle Richard, Great Grandpa Whitney and my Uncle Jim. Here are some pictures for the special day

Christmas

This was Emma's first Christmas and we had a great time. Okay so she pretty much slept through the whole thing and it was a little stressful trying to get everything done especially with Tony working graveyards Tues, Wed and Thurs before Christmas, but we managed. My dad was nice to babysit so I could finish my shopping and my mom helped me wrap presents. Tony's brother and his wife were able to come into town from Seattle for the holiday's and it was great to see them. They are so much fun and we love any chance we get to see them. Here are some Christmas pics
