Christmas Magic

Christmas morning was very magical around our house. Emma slept in until 7:30, which is magical in itself! She ran straight down stairs, past her stocking and gold dress, to see if Santa ate his snack and read his note. She then ran back upstairs into our room screaming in excitement that Santa had come, he ate his snack and he brought her a new fish named "Max" (Emma excepted the death of old Max the fish a few days before X-Mas, stating Max is in Heaven and Great-Grandpa is taking care of him. Santa figured she could handle a new fish now).

Emma was so thrilled with Max, she was happy leaving it at that. She walked passed her stocking about 3 more times before she saw the "Gold Dress" hanging on the railing. When she finally noticed, Emma was vibrating and could not wait to put on her new "Gold Princess" dress. It fit like a glove!!

Emma also received some gold shoes, purse and necklace to accessorize her new look.

Here is the new "Max"

Pat, a friend of ours in PR, told us a story about how the owner of a local pet store stated her Beta fish jump out of their tank all the time, and she just scoops up the crusty dudes and plops them back into the tank. I guess they come back to life??? Hard to believe, but should the new "Max" decide to become an Olympic high jumper, we will try this to see if it does work??

Ethan had a terrible cold over the holidays (still has the tail end of it). Considering how sick he was, he was in pretty good spirits during gift opening etc.

I guess he had enough at this point!!

Happy again with big sister!
