Holiday Adventures

Christmas Morning

"I always wanted a Monster High bike!"

The ping-pong trainer from Santa proved fun.  Grandpa and Emmie could be heard cackling in the hallway while breakfast was being made; Emmie, of course, trying to hit Grandpa with the launched ping-pong balls!

Christmas Eve

Emmie woke up with a sore throat....

"I wish I felt normal.  When I'm normal (not sick), I am joyous."

While cleaning up her room to make room for more toys:

"Can you put this back on?  Her head fell off her body.  Or, her body fell off her head.  I don't know."

During Church, Emmie wrote on the program:

"I hait Chrch"

We discussed afterwards.

After Church, and on the way home with Grandma & Grandpa:

Kris:  Did you hear Eric sing?  He was very good.

Emmie:  Yeah, it was adorable.  (half sarcastic and still upset over having to sit through Church)

Grandma prepared a wonderful dinner for the 8 of us.  Grandpa stated his excitement over the fact that we'd have 9 next year.  Emmie disliked gifts of clothes; but did show a little enthusiasm over footie pajamas.  3 Lego sets, a roll out keyboard, Dodger uniform (along with a January trip to CA), puzzle, books, tape dispenser, Littlest Pet Shop set, etc, etc, etc.

Quotes

"It is what it is.  That's a figure of speech."

"I tried to reach it, but the weight of my backpack held me down.....and gravity."

While watching Shrek (the Musical):

"It wasn't a spell at all.   Being an ogre is her true form."

While watching hockey with Eric:

"Which team is winning?  That's who I want to cheer for."

Someone asked Emmie if she was in 1st grade or Kindergarten.....

"Kindergarten.  My Mom always signs me up for Kindergarten."

Ice Skating

Graduation Party!

Hartman Holiday Party

Upon seeing one of her classmates,
Franklin: What are you doing here?
Emmie: Partying. What about you?

Seth's Birthday Party

With her tongue out....she always says, "like you and Grandpa, that
allows me to focus."

A couple more....

While and after sitting in the hot tub....

"When I put my face in the water, my lips get hotten. Try it."

"Who locked the freakin door?"
