Happy Birthday to Emerson!

We turned Emerson's second birthday into a week-long celebration!


On his actual date of birth Grancie and Granpie brought a very special wagon all the way from Utah with them!



The beginner train set from Mommy and Daddy was also very well received.


After an unsuccessful hunt for cupcakes, we settled on a platter of assorted pastries for a birthday night treat.


On the Saturday following Emerson's birthday, even more friends and family came to play at the bubble party!

Bubble wrap--pop pop!


Bubble machine--pop pop!



Bubble cake!

It's about time for new pictures - Update #1 (Christmas)

We spent a really fun week in Utah for Christmas vacation! Highlights included:

Setting up house in Granpie's new freezer box


Kindereggs (a Reiman favorite all the way from Germany)!


Emerson's first remote control car


A visit to Salt Lake City's Discovery Gateway children's museum, where Emerson spent most of his time driving around this police car...


but was eventually persuaded to come see the neat wind tunnel


Christmas turkey leg, anyone?


Before we got on the airplane to head home, a very patient Granpie accompanied Emerson up and down the escalator and the moving walkway MANY times.
