Feliz Navidad

Another Christmas has come and gone. The girls were as funny as usual about their presents. When they got really excited about something they would say things like "just what I have always wanted!" and "this is the best day of my life!".

Marti has been asking for twinkle toes (shoes that light up) for a few months and she finally got them, she was thrilled. Emersyn got a boom box that she can carry around with her so she can groove out anytime the mood strikes, which is a lot. They were both overjoyed with their zhu zhu track and their special present from Daddy, a Princess Wii game. I was super elated to get a Kindle. And we all loved our snowman band figurines from Jon and Michelle, as Emersyn would say they are "rockin".

We had a great Christmas season, which included Emersyn's and Marti's Christmas programs (Emersyn does the funniest Feliz Navidad dance), ice skating, seeing the lights downtown, going tubing at Soldier Hollow and eating (lots and lots of eating) among many other things.

Pictures of the season....

The Enforcer

If you look closely at this awful picture you will see Marti sitting behind a little boy with a mohawk. This was taken during her Christmas Program at school, I couldn't get any good pictures because I was too far away.

During the program the little boy with the mohawk started goofing around with the kid he was sitting next to. Marti was not going to put up with that so she tapped him on the shoulder and when he turned around she didn't say anything she just shook her head no and gave him a look that said if you don't cut it out there's gonna be trouble. He must have gotten the point because he turned back around and hung his head like he had just gone to the principal's office. The entire audience was laughing and Marti just carried on singing unaware of how incredibly funny it was.



These are some pictures I took after Marti's program. Just for the record I would like it to be noted that I did not dress Marti and Emersyn in the same outfits, they did that themselves.
