Christmas Day... This Christmas was much different than last year! Last year, having an almost 3 week old in the middle of December kept us inside and comfy. This year we did a lot of traveling! But Christmas morning at home was much more fun with a one year old that could open his own presents! (Well, kind of open his own presents.)
Santa brought Emerson a deluxe play cube that he did not want to leave alone to open his other gifts. Nothing like getting to slide pieces along wire mazes, spin gears, spin alphabet blocks, etc. It really was a deluxe play cube. Next we coxed him to open some other presents. We had to assist Emerson in opening the presents, but he did tear them a little. He got a xylophone that could be played in the tub and boats he can float around in the bath as well. There were some wooden blocks and some very cool clothing. Finally in his stocking from Santa he had some small tractors, army trucks and 3 books. After some play time with our new toys we had to get ready for church.

Highlands had a single worship service Christmas morning at 10:50, which is a little late for us. The regular nursery workers had the day off so Emerson got to visit with a new person and a familiar one, Mrs. Julie the Mothers Morning out director helped out in his room. Mrs. Julie was very impressed with the walking skills Emerson is picking up these days. He is going several steps without falling or sitting down to crawl. He is still a little unsteady, but is learning quickly. Finally it was time to head home to get ready to go visit with Grams, Pop, & the rest of the Jackson/Connerley gang.
