Home Again Home Again...

Saturday morning we were on our way back home.  Before getting in the car, Emily and Daddy did a little reading.

We pulled out again at about 9AM but this time pulled in at about 3:30!!  Yahoo!!!  I really don't think I could have handled another 9 hour trip.  I was soooo sleepy and every time I would close my eyes Emily would say, "hi Mama!"  I thought that she would fall asleep many times but didn't close her eyes until we were about 5 miles from home.  OF COURSE!  When we got inside, Emily decided she would go night night on the floor.

But really she was just playing.

To celebrate the short drive home we went out to get our Christmas tree!  Emily was pretty excited to see her old friends...  

remember last year?

However, unlike last year, Emily was running around A LOT!

That is, until she stopped to hug a tree.

When we were about to leave the nice man came over and said he had a surprise for Emily. Snow!

She was excited that it was falling on me too and came running over...

but then she decided that it actually concerned her a little to see all of that strange stuff on me.

I swore I would not be in a picture this year (I had only planned on a road trip that day after all) but how could we NOT take one with the snow?

So far Emily has done pretty well with the tree and other Christmas decor but there will be more on that later...
