Emmerson Meets Santa

Our ward had a Christmas breakfast with Santa last week. Sensing a perfect photo opportunity, I put Emmerson in a red shirt with a green skirt and the CUTEST reindeer bow. We skipped breakfast (translate: Jena slept in) but got there just in time to get in line for Santa. And wait. And wait. And wait. Wow. I didn't realize the line for Santa was such an ordeal. By the time we got to Santa, it was Emmerson's naptime, the bow was sucked on and torn off, and her smile was nowhere to be found. At least Santa's beard is lots of fun to pull. Although doing that may have gotten her kicked her off his "nice list". Maybe when she understands the concept of presents we will get a better picture. Ben's mom made Emmerson the CUTEST skirt. When we opened it, we went crazy. And so of course we had to have a fashion show with Michelle behind the camera. I waded through 50 pictures and finally found one that she is:

1. smiling in

2. looking at the camera

3. holding still for

A Christmas miracle? I think so.
