Sara and Mike: Week 34 and Week 147

William is 34 weeks old and Emily is 147 weeks old! And what a busy week it was. We were out doing something everyday this week. I think I may have finished my Christmas shopping, now on to the wrapping!!! Michael was off on Friday so we went to see Santa. Emily talked to him and told him everything she wanted...an umbrella, a computer, and a bicycle. She refused to sit on his lap though. Luckily they were prepared for such events and had a big present for her to sit on in front of him. William, our happy go lucky little boy became aware of the world just in time...he totally FREAKED when we put him on Santa's lap. We calmed him down and tried again and he looked up and just started screaming again, poor little guy. We definitely got a pic to remember. I think I find it even more amusing because he is such a happy baby and always smiling, we don't have too many sad face pictures. Saturday was the big Cookie Day and we all had a great time. Emily loved helping make the cookies and decorating them, especially her gingerbreads!! She's been asking for gingerbread cookies for weeks and finally got to make (and eat) them.

As always time is going by super fast and my kids are growing like crazy. William rolls and spins himself all over the place and Emily is slowly learning to keep her stuff off of the floor if she doesn't want her brother to get it. It is really neat to see Emily's sense of humor develop. It's really been coming out the last few months as she plays tricks on us and says silly things. She also likes to repeat things she hears Pop Pop say, so we all know that's going to be silly!!!

Here are some pics of our fun this week...

Escalator!!! Emily thinks its the coolest thing ever!

First attempt at a cute pajama pic by the tree. Emily only got whacked a couple of times. William would cry if he didn't have the noise maker in his hands!
