It's Begining to Look A Lot Like Christmas

The Hamilton home has undergone a transformation this weekend. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here!! YEAH!!! Today we made the annual trip out to Sugar Tree Farms to get our tree. I don't know how we do it, but again this year, we got THE perfect tree. Every year I say, "Maybe we should go somewhere else, because we got the perfect tree last year, and there won't be any good ones this year." But, every year we always seem to get a great tree. It's a long trip out there, but the girls absolutely love it! I think we've been doing it for about 10 years now, so I guess we just can't go somewhere else.

Can you see Emma? The tree is almost as big as she is!

The girls had a great time dragging the tree back to the barn for us!

Thanksgiving

Dan and I hosted Dan's family this year for Thansgiving--27 people. All I have to show for it is this picture. I guess we were so busy cooking, hosting, etc., that we forgot to take pictures while people were here. Grace did snap this picture of Emma and I in the morning while I was cooking. I was so excited to wear my grandma's apron, use some of her table cloths, and use some of the entertaining pieces that I rarely get to use. The best part was, everything went off without a hitch!! I couldn't have done it without all the help from my wonderful family! Thanks guys!!!!

Sisterly Love

Here are a couple of my favorite pictures of the girls lately. Last week we had a couple extra days off together due to the Thanksgiving break. What a great time we had! They were so helpful with the preparations for the Thanksgiving meal and played so well together. I'm so thankful for them!!!

Poor Daisy! I think she was one of their "babies"! She didn't seem to mind, though. She just followed them around all day.

Dancer of the QUARTER!!!!

Emma was dancer of the quarter this Fall at the dance studio in her Tap/Ballet/Jazz/Tumbling class. She found out two weeks ago, but they didn't have the trophies in yet, so for the last two weeks, all I've heard is, "Is it a dance night? Do you think they will have my trophy yet?" Well, tonight when she showed up for dance, they had her trophy. To say she was excited would be an understatement!!! I thought she was going to burst she was so excited when her teacher handed it to her. Way to go, Emma!!!

Snuggling with Daddy

Emma must have been really tired Friday night (daddy, too) because she fell asleep in the chair with him while we were all in the family room watching HGTV. Too cute!!!
