Week 33 and Week 146

William is 33 weeks old and Emily is 146 weeks old.  We had a busy week full of lots of running around and fun!  William's big accomplishment was clapping!  He started clapping and it is so cute.  He is such a happy boy.  Mike and I had a wedding to go to this weekend so the kids got to spend some fun time with Grammie and Pop Pop.  They first went to Tyler's first birthday party and then partied down at Grammie and Pop Pop's house.  William was very clingy to my Mom and definitely missed his Mama.  Emily had a great time and has really gotten over some of her Mommy attachment (for now anyway).  It seems to be a cycle with her, but hopefully she'll be good for awhile now.  The turning point for her seems to be her dance recital on Friday.  I was so nervous she was not going to make it out on stage, but she was not only there, but dancing up a storm and looking super cute!  Afterwords she was so giddy and excited and loved watching all of the other dancers.  Since then, she's been awesome and even talks about how much she loves dance class, even if I don't get to be in the room!  What a change from even a month ago.  I think being at the recital it all just clicked for her, she realized what dance class was all about.  And of course, she's in love.  I'm in for it now, huh?

We went to get our Christmas tree today.  We found a good one fairly quickly and had some fun playing around the farm before we headed home to set it up and decorate.  Emily loved putting the ornaments on the tree.  It is so much fun getting ready for Christmas this year since she knows what its all about and is excited about every little thing!  She doesn't think it's Christmas until it snows though, but I'm sure with Erin coming home we'll get something on the ground before then!! 

Here are some pics of our fun:

At least she dressed herself!

William figured out how to turn his mobile on during what was supposed to be his nap!  He likes to play with his socks too.

Christmas Crafting!

Emily had to try this bow on him and was calling him a princess.  Poor boy!

I can do it myself!

Not a great pic, but he was clapping.

Up on stage!

This one is just her size!

This is the perfect tree.  Emily wouldn't cooperate for a pic though!

Cutting down our Christmas tree is fun.

Exhausted after a fun weekend!

Emily figured anything she wanted to put on the tree could be an ornament.

She had to help with everything!

What a nice cluster there, Emily.  The lights weren't even finished yet, she just couldn't wait!!!

Emily's section of the tree.  We got a lot of ornaments on in no time!
