Merry Christmas Emmet!

It has been TOOOO long since we have seen our little Emmet - before vacation if you can believe it! We usually hang out once a week, but the holiday season has kept everyone so busy that we haven't gotten together like we enjoy. Well, Emmet (James and Elizabeth, too) came over on Sunday after his nap for a Christmas exchange. Emmet is soooo much fun. Tod played with him most of the visit - he loves wrestling around with him. Emmet chased Rudy all over the house and played tug of war with him some, too. We realized how much we had missed all of them.. especially me and shopping with Elizabeth!

Tod and James started planning their annual trip to Memphis and Elizabeth and I started planning our 2nd annual spring break trip. I think we are going to St. Louis and go to the zoo, MAYBE six flags (after what happened last year in San Antonio we will have to do some research first, maybe go late in the day when the crowd has slowed down), maybe a baseball game, the arch... and anything else we can discover! If any of you have any St. Louis suggestions for two moms, a almost 14 year old boy, and an almost 2 year old boy - share them! We had a blast in San Antonio and don't expect to come home from St. Louis with fewer stories.

He wants upstairs in a BAD way! Utah was up their playing video games and Emmet would just holler at him.. not sure what he was saying, we are sure it was, "Utah, would you come down and play please?"
