Emerson turned 3 on December 4. Our little girl is an extremely social, outgoing, talkative bundle of energy with loads of personality and spunk. She has recently decided that she adores all things princess, Barbie, and TinkerBell, and loves dressing up. She loves playing with other kids, spending time outdoors, singing, and helping in the kitchen. Emerson loves learning: she loves movies and toys that teach her letters, sounds, and words. She is in the 81st% for height and 95th% for weight.
After celebrating her birthday at Thanksgiving time with my family, we had our friends Dan, Tracy, and Jayce over to celebrate with us the night before her birthday. On her actual birthday, we opened gifts at home, skyped with grandmas and grandpas, went out for lunch at Red Robin, and then she spent the evening with her cousin Mackenzie (we had Nick's company Christmas party that night). Then she got to celebrate her birthday again the next weekend with the Mayra side of the family, but those pictures will be coming soon :-)

| Opening presents another day...I think she got a gift every day in December! |
