an early Christmas

this weekend we hosted my side of the family for a Christmas celebration. we had brunch, and enjoyed breakfast casserole, grits, pigs in a blanket, and donuts! we got a few "kid" pictures, and i consider that a success considering we had 5 kids including 2 babies that had to look and smile. emma taylor got 2 dolls for Christmas. this is a big thing! i am glad she got them because i probably would not have bought her a doll myself...i am not really a girly girl. also the last picture shows some name ornaments. i guess we will never find something that has emma taylor's whole name on it but at least we can pair together two!
