Merry Christmas From The Schumacher Family

Friday night

Santa decided to come to our house early and surprised

us all of gifts.

We opened up our stockings first followed by gifts for

Emma, Vahn and I.

The evening started off with a good supper. We had

ribs, baked potatoe and lettuce salad.

After getting the kitchen cleaned we noticed we had gifts under the tree.

Emma didn't know where to start!

We decided to look in our stockings first...after seeing all what Emma had in her

stocking, daddy was opening she didn't have much more under the tree :)

A Big Sister Book, she got in her stocking

Elmo activity book with all the Seseme friends!

Of course a book about Biscuit at the Farm!

She she enjoys her books!!

Elmo CD that Santa go personalized just for EMMA!

I was a little excited about getting the new Sex and the City 2 movie

and carritage for my new cricket machine!

Vahn got long johns, socks and a movie in his stocking...he was jumping up and down too!

Emma opening her first gift!

And she got..Little People Farm

She was pretty excited..she wanted it right then!

Next present...fisher price swing, high chair, and carrier in one!

I bet you can imagine how excited she was with this gift!

She played with it till she went to bed and woke up wanting to play with her new doll toy!

Mommy got a new sweater from the Gap, hopefully it will

fit me soon, it looks way to small right now:)

Next gift was a train....another hit from Santa!!!

Our family gift...daddy opened it and it was a new DVD player for the pickup.

There is two TVs now so both kids will have one to look at.

They fit on the back of our head rest...should work great now!

Mommy got a new comforter for our bed.

Santa must of knew the other one was bleached....and stained!!

Daddy got a new shirt, sketcher shoes and sweat shirt.....i did't post the pictures

because again he was way excited!

He can do his own shopping from now on!

Emma had to start playing.

38 Weeks & 4 Days

Well I am 38 weeks as of Friday. Where has the time gone?!

This has been a lot better pregancy so far till recently. I

am feeling a lot changes and some different pains this time.

It's all worth it!

Vahn is home this week so we get to have some family time together

which is nice! Vahn took a few pictures of me and this first one

I just love! Emma hasn't decided if she wants a brother or sister

but she sure loves kissing my belly!

Emma isn't sure what is going on.....and yes I look cheesy!

Emma's face in this one is too funny!

Here is my village collection! I love it and this self works

great for it!

We have a few other decorations upstairs as well as a few things down

stairs! Hopefully each year I can keep getting a few new things to put.

Happy Holidays!

Hopefully we will have news of a baby real soon!

Santa Comes to Town!

Sunday December 6th, Santa comes to Wesley.

Emma was excited all morning for Pancakes with Santa

at the Wesley Community Center.

Vahn had to work Sunday morning so he was unable to come

with. Hopefully next year it works out!

We went with our friends Alison, Wayatt and Weston.

Emma and Waytt were excited and tired of waiting on us!

How cute are they!
Still holding hands, they are not sure what to do!

They are getting a little closer!

Now they are talking to Santa!

Emma is watching Waytt tell Santa what he wants.

Now its Emma's turn. She didn't want to sit on his lap

but she enjoyed standing right beside him. She gave Santa a high five and said

thank you for the goodie bag he gave her!

Grandma Thul Babysitting Emma

Grandma brought some goodies for Emma.

She got a new winter coat for Church and matching

Gap hat and gloves. She was excited about the

hat and gloves, not so much about the coat. We did wear

the new coat to Church Saturday night...and it is way cute!

Thanks mom!!!!

Emma checking herself out!

Pretty in PINK!

Opening another gift?

Mom got an ornament, but thought it would

look better on our tree. The angel ornaments name is Hope.

Who would know a box could be so much fun!??

She was entertained all day with this box! Who needs

toys!

Of course lets add on the hat and gloves!

Saturday game day...we caught Emma in the action.

The people on the TV were doing this....pretty funny!

Schumacher Family Thanksgiving/Christmas

Saturday after Thanksgiving we all got together in

Fort Dodge, at the American Inn.

Emma was excited all day to see cousin Brooke! It will

be fun next Christmas to have all 3 kids playing together!

Emma was always by Brooke giving her kisses or handing her a toy!
Starting to open presents! Emma's gift from Grandpa and Grandma
was hiding in the bathroom. It was a pink Radio Flyer Trike!
Was this girl excited!!!

She didn't want to get off it to open other presents!
