Santa, Jesus, and the Colts (of course!)

It's been a busy couple of weekends for little Emer and family. Winter is definitely upon us with the 2 and a half hour long drive I took home from work on Tuesday thanks to the ice and freezing winds threatening to blow our house down. We've seen a little snow, and Em seems to like looking at it. It's easy for her though, we just bundle her into her carrier and away we go! And here's where we've been going to:

After a Colts game we were just relaxing at home when we got a call from a woman at church. The family designated to represent Baby Jesus and parents had bailed on the performance and they were in need of a new baby. We didn't have anything going on and I thought it would be fun so Em and I headed off to church and costumed ourselves up!

Yes, she's a very large newborn!, but she played the part well! Towards the end (about 1.5 hours in!) she started to get fussy and tired but every time a group of people would come by she would stop crying and watch them quietly. Do we have a future Hollywood star on our hands?!? Goodness I hope not!

The following weekend we shared a different tradition with Emer - Santa!

The Pike YMCA where I work hosted Santa for breakfast. Everyone got pancakes and fruit to eat and the kids got to sit on Santa's lap and tell him what they wanted for Christmas. I'm not sure Em had decided what she wanted, but she seemed to like him. She even took away a chunk of his beard, ooops!

After all this excitement, and a couple more wins for the Colts, we decided it was nap time. And Steve decided it was photo time.

Wow those close Colts games wear us out!

Have a wonderful Holiday everyone!
