Emee Roxana Blessing Day

This is a four generation photo. Emee is named after my grandma's great, great grandma Roxana.

We had Emee blessed before Bubby and Jacob left. My girls had been sick for over a week so we decided the night before to do it at the house. I am SO grateful we did!! The minute Mike picked her up and they got in the circle she started screaming!! She screamed the whole time too. I even tried to reach in (am I suppose to do that???) and give her a binky but it didn't help at all. Mike gave a beautiful blessing though. He is an amazing priesthood holder and such a wonderful example to my girls and our families. He truly loves the Lord and he works hard to live the standards...he helps me tons!! As soon as they were done and Mike held her close she completely stopped...not even a whimper. Sweet little peanut!!
I love my girls so much and feel so blessed to be their mommy. Thank you Mike for your love and patience and desire to serve our family in such righteous ways. I love you!!

Somebody is happy!! Some Elves REALLY came through for me and helped me out with this one!!

Colee LOVES the boys!! AJ had her name for Christmas.

Colt Kelley would literally climb right on top of the babies. Here he is getting on top of Emee.

Colee received an "ipod" for Christmas and she LOVES it! Here she is making Erika lay on the hard tile floor and listen to Sessy Back with her. At least she got her a pillow, right? Erika is always so willing to be in Colee's play world...thanks Marks!!

I am so sad this picture is blurry!! I still had to post it. This Is Grandma's birthday party/Hansen Christmas party. My girls are so lucky to get to know and love their great-grandparents!

On Christmas Eve Santa found our house EARLY! He came and talked to the kids and gave them a treat and told them to be good before he went out for the night.

My girls in their matching Christmas PJ's that Nana made for them. They turned out so darling, I wish I would have gotten a better picture!

This is a shot of Colee finding out that we didn't have any milk to leave Santa. She was so worried! We did however find a delicious cup of hot cocoa for him to enjoy!

Emee and Papa at the Christmas party. He is such a cute Papa!!

My cute girls!!

Colee's Birthday was a great day!! We had such a fun filled day with her. We set up her table with her princess table cloth (that she had been playing with all week long) and princess plates and cake and presents the night before so it was all ready when she woke up in the morning. She was SO excited!! Of course she wanted to eat her cake right away and didn't want to wait for people to come. She could not wait for Camo to get her so her party to start. We were so excited he could be here with us. We had cake and ice cream and she blew out her candle and opened presents. She had a great time. Then we went to the movie, The Princess & The Frog...so cute!! We went with Aunt Sher, Londie, Marks and Daddy. She was so excited to be with her favorite girls. During the movie she kept looking over at me with a huge smile on her face and about half way through she looked at me again and said, "mommy, I love the movie". So cute. And yes, this is almost the first time she had been to the show. Aunt Sher took her on Thanksgiving day but she fell asleep twenty minutes into the show. She was wide awake the whole time for this one. We will definitely be seeing all the cute kids shows now.
After the show we went and got some yummy hot chocolate and then Aunt Sher and Marks took her to see the lights at Thanksgiving Point with London. She got to see Santa...she LOVES Santa.
IT was a really fun year, she is at such a fun age.
