the night before Christmas...

Holidays are so much more fun when you have kids! The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of Christmas parties, Santa, trains, and family. Santa was not a hit with Emme (major tears), and had a lukewarm response from Noah this year. He is very curious about the story about the birth of Jesus so we've been answering lots of "why ?" regarding that (actually, about everything!). Emme is just continuing to change. She loves clapping, waving, dancing to music, and is starting to stand up to her brother more & more. She lets him know how unhappy she is if he tries to take anything from her! She says "umma" and "ma-ma" (food in Korean) pretty clearly, and the rest is still a guess. One of my favorite things now is that Noah watches out for her. Whenever we go anywhere or get anything, he always asks for an extra for Emme and remembers to take turns with her. He is always either singing or talking. Always. They are starting to play together more, and the very sight of them playing warms my heart :). Here's pictures of our holiday season thus far...








I had the kids exchange their gifts to each other Christmas eve...Emme got a little pig and Noah a puppy. So soft and cuddly. Afterwards we went on a walk around our neighborhood to see all the beautiful lights.


Here's Emme getting her groove on

Is there anything cuter than matching jammies?

Thanksgiving 2010

SO much to be thankful for this year...The good Lord has blessed us with two beautiful babies, provided for our family, and has surrounded us with wonderful family and friends to support us.
We spent Thanksgiving day at my parents house. Over 25 friends and relatives came from near and far to eat lots of good food and play the wii till the wee hours of the morning. Noah and Emme got so much attention from Uncles and Aunties, they were never without a playmate!
