SO much happened during our christmas in clovis so i'll just start from the beginning!
here is what i woke up to on our first morning. S cuddling with O while O cuddled with a pink donut! this girl looooves donuts!

i tried to get the girls together, but E was the only one that cooperated.

see?

later that evening, E took the liberty of chewing on her new rattle.

yeah, you get it girl!!! she looks SO MUCH like O in this picture!

i heart this one.

here is O with her cousin reece. poor reece had the croup while we there. we've had that before and it's no fun!

O had two different kinds of reindeer food to put out for santa and his guys and O thought it was super-cool!

instead of spreading it out, she wanted in all dumped out "it be right here". whatever works, kiddo!

and, since we're a big girl now, it was time to give the paci's away. baby jesus was being born on christmas so we thought it was perfect to give them to him! we went to hobby lobby to pick out a special box. honestly, she picked out the 'happy birthday jesus' box herself!!! i'm sure it had to do with the cupcake and not the wording but it was perfect!

we had to put it by santa's cookies and milk because, you know, santa was dropping the paci's off in bethlehem on his way back to the north pole. convoluted? yep!

O and her bunnie!

i'm so sad this one is blurry but it's cute anyway! O looks just like her daddy in this one!

we hear all the time that bunnie and O look alike. definitely in this one!!!

christmas morning. happy first christmas, emma!!

santa brought some good loot!

talk about an overwhelmed child!! O didn't know where to start!

E loved her new toy from santa!

papa is notorious for sitting around in his skivies. looks like he's not wearing any here!! he is, i promise!

probably the best pic of the weekend!!

E needed a bottle break during the festivities!

meme had this crazy elf hat that sang and 'danced'. O thought it was hysterical! E wanted me to hide it!

we all chipped in and got papa an iPad for christmas. he kept saying "oh boy, oh boy, oh boy"! it was soo cute! we all chipped in and got meme a john hardy bracelet.

O got a new playhouse from meme and papa. it's soooo cute and soooo big! it's complete with a kitchen, a telephone, a door bell and a welcome mat!

the thing is huge! we had to bring it back to norman on a trailer!! i wonder how many times people said "well, someone got a playhouse for christmas."?

"come in my house, guys!!"

reece got a cool slide/swing set! it was a lot of fun! how cute are they in their jammies!?!?!

her face is, well, the best. this is the smile i triple-heart!!!

after some swinging, O thought EVERYONE needed to come in her house. including papa. this pic cracks me up!!!

the roberts family before getting ready for church.

meme and her girls after church.

what are they all looking at????

well, goats, of course!! papa brought some over for the kids to run around with. i don't know who was more scared. the kids or the goats!!!

we brought E out to see the goats for a second. it was warm outside but not E-warm!

she thought they were so-so.

jumping on papa's belly was more fun than anything!!

the little girlies swinging.

the cutie-pie redhead is bert, O's birthday twin and cousin. bert is the BEST!! he was born about five hours after O and is now, from the nose up, taller than O!
we were all so exhausted, i believe this is the last picture i took. E slept great the first night - a SEVEN hour stretch - then, it was back to her normal routine after that. O didn't sleep well either and, of course, never napped. even though we were wiped out, it was a GREAT christmas!! thanks meme and papa for everything!
