Roller Skating

The huge grin never left her face!

The birthday girl!

For her friend, Marielle's, birthday, Emma went to the skating rink.  This was her first time ever on skates.  I am so thankful that Daddy came w/ us because she and I would have been on the floor probably the entire time.  She could not stay on her feet in the beginning.  She struggled so badly, but she was having so much fun.  By the end of the party, she was doing much better on the carpet.  She was able to do the "walking" skating.  Since she had so much fun though, we'll definitely have to take her back.

Christmas #3

We had a lovely visit w/ Gramma and Papa Holbrook.  Emma loves spending time w/ both sets of grandparents, and we are so thankful that she has the opportunity.

As a joke, we gave Papa some shampoo as a gift.

Koziar's Christmas Village

The village is actually a farm near Reading, PA that the family has been decorating for over sixty years.  It started for just the family w/ decorating the house and parts of the property, but now the entire house, barn, land, everything is covered w/ lights.  It was really neat to see.  It was a bit cold and snowed a little, but we definitely enjoyed it.

Now we know what Santa does the other 364 days.

Love these two!!

They had a tunnel in the shark tank, and this guy was taking a rest.

Taking the Ben Franklin Bridge back to Pennsylvania

We took the girlie to the Camden aquarium while we were in Philly.  She did such an amazing job the day before walking all over historic Philadelphia; there was no way we could not take her to do something really fun.  The girlie really enjoys seeing all of the fish, and it is so neat to see her truly take interest in something.  It was a great little adventure for our family.  I pray that we get many more just like it.
