Merry Christmas from Emery!

Merry Christmas!

This year was extra special having our little one with us for the holidays.  She was able to share in our traditions and enjoy the comfort of family during this special time of year.  It was a busy few days and Emery got to "play up late" as Brooks would call it.  Three days worth of Christmas celebrations was fun by exhausting....for all of us! 

Friday night included Christmas with Grandma & Grandpa Nehmer, Aunt Casey, Uncle Matt, Brooks, Brody, Uncle Luc, and Katy.  We had a special visitor....SANTA!  Santa came to visit Brooks, Brody, and Emery as they were all such good kids this past year.  Here is a few pictures to share:

Saturday then we adventured out to Columbus to Great Grandma Nehmer & Joe's place for the annual Nehmer side Christmas extravaganza.  It was another fun night, as it always is with the Nehmer's.  We had to get Emery all dressed up for her first Christmas Eve at the Farm.  I must say she was the hit of the party! ;) 

Sunday was Christmas Day, and after sleeping in a bit, we were back to my parents house for a day with the Clary side.  We played games and had some good food.  Emery got some books from Great Grandma Clary.  We hung out through the Packer Game, and Emery got to meet Miki & Louie Krenzen for the first time.  She enjoyed them so much she fell asleep ;) 

After the last of three late nights we were grateful for Monday off work and a day to recoup.  The day was spent cleaning and relaxing getting ready for another busy week.  Was a great holidays, and we look forward to many many more as a family, and including the Freischmidt family in our celebrations too.

3 Months Old!

Our little sweetie turned 3 months on December 15th...and as tradition has been we took her picture in the laundry basket.  She sure is filling the basket out and by next month we may have to sit her up in it because she doesn't care to lay down in there much anymore....as you can tell by her face I am sure.  Will be back to the doctor around her 4 months so we will report her stats at that time, but she is still growing like a weed!

Had to add this one as it was just too cute!  She is getting very good at sitting in her bumpo chair, and watching us!  We love you sweetie! :)

Snuggle Time

A quick photo of mommy's favorite time of the day....snuggle time! :)

Mommy loves you more than you will ever know!



3 Months already!

Happy 3 Months Cutie Pie!

Cannot believe you are already 3 months old, your personality is growing right in front of our eyes.  Your little giggles make our heart melt.  Grandma N dressed you up for the occasion...first time in jeans and you loo ADORABLE!

Grandma N & Aunt Casey....THANK YOU!

Emery has been having some great quality time with Aunt Casey..(and those crazy cousins), and Grandma N.  They are both graciously sharing the duties of watching our little one while we are at work for the month of December.  Mom can somewhat relax with her being with family while she is away.  Tim and I cannot thank you enough for the love you show Emery, when we are not there to snuggle her.  Here are a few pictures from her time with them.

Mommy can never get enough of those cheeks and smiles.  You make mommy smile every day and appreciate all the snuggles.

Mommy's Birthday

We celebrated Mommy's birthday this past Friday at home with family.  Was a great relaxing night!

Saturday we celebrated cousin Brooks turning 4 at the Little Gym.  Emery got to watch all the kids run around and play.  She will enjoy the little gym someday when she gets bigger!  Brooks had a great day filled with Thomas the Train and Cars 2 gifts.  He was on cloud nine!

Girls Night...plus Isaac!

As our usual tradition, we did our secret santa exchange at our house this year.  The girls brought the kids along too, with two still yet to be born.  Isaac, Emery, and Bryn were the excitement of the party this year, and next year we will have Addison, and Baby Boy Smith to the clan!  Check out the size difference between all three!

We enjoyed our time together as we always share many laughs and stories.  Here's to another great year of being friends! :)

Go Bucky!

The badger football team played in the first Big 10 championship game this past Saturday against Michigan State.  The winner was going to the ROSE BOWL!  We had Matt, Casey, and the boys over for dinner and to watch the game, and boy was it eventful!  We had to dress Emery up for the occasion and to cheer on the BADGERS!

Isn't she a cutie!

Thanks Uncle Luc and Katy for the adorable outfit!
