Bridgeport Village



In front of the BIG Christmas tree!



A train ride around the shops

Another visit to Santa...can you ever have enough? I couldn't use my flash, so it came out blurry.

Decorating the tree


As soon as we got home from California, the girls couldn't wait to decorate the house and the tree.

Taking turns putting the star on top of the tree.

They put every single ornament on all by themselves


Holding their ornaments with their pictures on them.

I decided the tree doesn't need to look perfect to me. I left every ornament exactly where they put them because it looks perfect to them!

Trip Home for Thanksgiving


We decided to go home for Thanksgiving this year instead of Christmas. It seems like everyone is sooo busy at Christmas, so we thought we'd try Thanksgiving. Well it was our favorite trip home yet! We got to stay at Philly & Jessi's house with Baby Emma and let me just say...I loved getting to see her every morning! Emma on the other hand LOVED seeing Uncle Darrick and Jordyn in the morning.

Jordyn loved to feed Emma her bottle. When Jessi tried to feed her all she wanted to do was look at Jordyn. So Jordyn was happy to feed her!

Jordyn would say "I'm Mad, I'm mad" and look away and Emma thought it was very funny. Jordyn didn't have to do much though, Emma thought she was pretty funny. Jordyn even made Emma laugh so hard the morning we were flying home, that poor Emma threw up her breakfast!

She laughs with her whole body. She tightens her legs up! So cute!!

We went to Sea World with the girls!

They love to see the Clidesdales (is that even how you spell it??)

Darrick's parents met us there. Papa & Jordyn are in the back and Darrick is in front of them.

Ash didn't want to get her new outfit wet, so she stayed with Onna & I.

Feeding the Sealions

This fish was very funny looking

We spent Thanksgiving at Darrick's sister's house. We had a great time. The girls enjoyed playing with their cousins!

Ash, Emma, and Jordy watching T.V. together! How cute is that?    

We thought maybe Jordyn could distract Emma from the fact that she was on Santa's lap, but that didn't happen. As soon as Jessi put her down, she was crying. Even a sucker didn't help. She was so upset and shaking! I hope next year will be better! She is still adorable, even screaming.
