Gingerbread House Outfit & Santa
I made this appliqued shirt for Emme Claire to wear this holiday season. She's worn it once so far and it was really cute on her.
I also made a matching pair of ruffle pants. :)
She had her Santa pic made in it. Her Texas Santa pic that is. I'm in the picture because she wouldn't be in it alone. She cried when I sat her beside him. Poor thing. This Santa was at the Gaylord Texan hotel in Grapevine, TX, more on that trip to come in a later post.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
So the day after Thanksgiving we started decorating for Christmas. That is the tradition I'm going to try to start (decorating the day after Thanksgiving and not before). So instead of getting up at the crack of dawn (or before actually) to go shopping in all the crowds we stayed home and had a relaxing day and put up the tree and began to decorate it and the mantle too.
Emme Claire saw me fluffing the limbs on the tree and wanted to help. She tried her best to help me. :)
This is how my mantle looked before I hung the stockings and put the stocking holders up. I had to change it when I added the stocking because all this wouldn't fit anymore but I sure did like it like this. But you can't go without the stockings.
Emme Claire's 2nd Christmas ornament. We are collecting the whole series. We love Hallmark ornaments!
Here is my almost finished tree. My husband hasn't found the box that has all my keepsake ornaments in it yet. That is making me nervous but I know it's somewhere! Just got to keep looking!
Here is my mantle after putting the stockings up. They read Amy, Brody, Brian, Bella, Emme Claire and Asher, that includes our 3 dogs. :)

Jonesboro Christmas Parade 2010
We took Emme Claire to her first parade the Saturday after Thanksgiving in Jonesboro (our home town). She enjoyed it, she Ooohed and Aaahed over everything she saw. :) Brian's parents met us and watched the parade with us.
This is the niece of my best friend Bridget. Her name is Sarah and she is on the homecoming court of a local high school. Her aunt (my friend) Bridget helped with the decorating of her parade car. Doesn't Sarah look beautiful?!!!
The front of the car. Bridget did a great job decorating it!
The back of the car. It was so pretty!
Emme Claire with her 2 ducks she "caught" during the parade. She wouldn't let go of those ducks! That's Grammy holding her (Brian's mom).
Here is Grammy, Emme Claire and I yelling for them to throw something to us! Emme got lots of beads and candy!
The day of the parade was also Grammy's birthday so Emme Claire brought her present to the parade. Here she is helping Grammy open it. :)

Canton TX Shopping Finds! Owls!!!
I hope I haven't already posted this here. I don't think I did but I have major Mommy brain most of the time.
I wanted to share with y'all some of the cute stuff I bought at Canton on Halloween Day this year. Some of these items will go in EC's big girl bedroom in our TX house. She won't actually sleep in there yet but that doesn't mean I can't make her a big girl room does it?? Haha! And one wooden owl will go on the wall in EC's upstairs playroom in TX, it's decorated in a bright colored owl theme. A lot of the decor in that playroom is from her 1st birthday party.
This "clothes line" will go on the wall in her big girls room. I'll have pictures from the pins and I'll probably add a few more pins to it. I think they forgot to paint the nose on those owls so I'll have to add that too.
Here is a adorable growth chart I found to go on the wall in her new big girl's room in TX also. (Here it is shown hanging on the wall in her nursery in the LA house but that was just to get it off the floor.)
This is the owl that will go on the wall in the upstairs playroom.
The cutest headboard ever! I was so excited when we found this bed! I just love it! They forgot to paint the nose on the white owl on the bed so I'll have to add it too. They had to paint most of this up for me that day because the one on display was already sold. So they were in a rush.
Emme loves her new headboard too!
And this is a little something to go under the Christmas tree! :)
I found lots of other stuff that day but this is all the Emme Claire stuff I got. Well, besides some hairbows. :)

Random pics from November 2010
Here are some pics taken in the month of November 2010 that I never had a chance to put on here so here goes. Enjoy! :)
Emme Claire and her most favorite stuffed animal Tigger, which she calls Tig Tig. She loves him soooo much! He is her sleeping buddy. Has been for as long as I can remember. :)
By the way, those cute jammies say Official Hot Cocoa Tester. :)
Here is Emme Claire with her new Elmo Live Encore doll. It was supposed to be a Christmas present but EC's daddy gave it to her early. This child loves Elmo, says Elmo all the time. I let her watch Elmo videos on my laptop sometimes and so now she associates laptops with Elmo. :)
One night my parents came over and brought Emme Claire some new toys. One was a Toy Story lego set. It came with Jessie and her horse. We had a big laugh when EC tried to squat down on that tiny to ride him! LOL! She is silly!
Emme Claire loves lounging in her pink chair!
I love this big cheeky smile!!!
She was playing Pee Pie behind her little playhouse.
Where's Emme Claire???
I just love these dark purple owl jammies we found at Target!
Reaching for one of the fish above her bed and she actually grabbed it too. Gonna have to move it up some.
Daddy stuck one of our dogs, Brody, in the crib with her and he was trying to find a way out! haha!
Showing me her ear. She loves pointing out body parts.
Just playing with some Mickey and friends cards.
On this day her hair was extra curly! It was so pretty! Her hair has grown so much since her first birthday.
She likes dancing along with this tree we got from Cracker Barrel restaurant. It plays a Christmas song and dances. She likes it!
Decorating a little tree in Emme Claire's room for her to play with so that maybe she will not play with the family tree in the living room. :)
This was one Saturday night when we went out to eat with my parents and my younger brother. She was being silly playing with her Cheerios before dinner came.
After the Christmas Parade in Jonesboro Emme Claire was playing with the beads we caught. She loves jewelry and she had lots of fun putting on all these beads. :)
Riding her horse after we put all her beads on him.
