Wrapping it up


So this extended post about our Christmas trip to San Diego has taken me way too long. Here are some pictures from our last few days there. Be warned. This post is picture CRAZZY!!


Emma's first visit to the Zoo


Meeting Heidi's mom, Grammy Barbara, who knit her that pretty purple sweater and a matching purple bunny rabbit.


Happy girl on family picture day.

I just love that baby girl
Our little family.

Christmas Day!

Sorry it is taking me so long to get these posts up and going. Between computer troubles, a busy baby, and just plain forgetting, its been low on the list.
She's rocking some major bedhead in this one. One of Emma's first presents was a great doll from Mema and Papa. She loves to play with it.
Waiting patiently to open one of her presents.

Emma and Daddy

Emma got a Minnie doll and a sippy cup from Disneyland from Aunt Kristy and Uncle Rob.

With Mema and Papa
She finally got to meet Aunt Heidi and Uncle Kyle!

It was love at first sight!

Me and my girl on Christmas. I think I realized that we don't have any family pictures of the three of us from Emma's first Christmas. It was such a crazy day with all of the family and going between both houses and trying to see everyone. She was her usual happy, smiley self and we had a great time with our families.

Christmas Eve



Friday was Christmas Eve. We spent the day hanging out with family. The cousins had fun playing with Emma. Mema has some crazy reindeer antlers that they thought would be hilarious to put on Emma while I was gone. So they put them on and took some pictures. She's clearly not too sure about them, but she looks darn cute anyways.

We went to In'N Out for lunch (again). Possibly a mistake, but Oh so good! Then we got ready for church. Emma was perfect during the service and only squealed once to let us know that she was ready for her bottle.

After church we went back to my parents house, hung out, and ate dinner. Then we headed back to Poway for the evening and tried to prepare ourselves for the next day!

12 Plane Trips

We figured it out and this trip was plane trips 9, 10, 11, and 12 for Little P. So far, she's done pretty well on the planes. On one of the trips, we had a row to ourselves and were able to use the middle seat for some extra space. Since we didn't have her carseat, we couldn't really leave her there, but we did have fun sitting her in the seat for a few minutes here and there and taking some pictures. She looked so big!

Enjoying some Puffs and some tunes (not really. Headphones were a prop only)
Dad, can I have some of your Sprite to wash these Puffs down?

We arrived early Thursday afternoon and went straight to In N Out! Yum! Then headed back to both grandparents' houses. Thursday was a day of just getting settled in, greeting people we hadn't seen in a long time, and introducing Emma to some of her family members.

First Time with Santa



Emma's first time with Santa. I'd say it went pretty well. Who knows what next year will look like!

Christmas Trip



Okay, this will be a string of posts about our trip out to California. Emma did great on the flight out. She's now been on 12 flights ( to Chicago, to Seattle, to Chicago, to Fort Wayne to Chicago, to San Diego, to Chicago, to Fort Wayne, to Dallas, to San Diego, to Chicago, to Fort Wayne) and she's done pretty well on most of them. We had the first flight out, 6a.m., ugh. And we flew through Dallas going out. But our travel went pretty smoothly.


Emma's cousins put some ridiculous reindeer ears on her.
