It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

I'll have to blog about Thanksgiving later, because I couldn't find my camera amidst all of the chaos. I'll borrow pics from other people and backtrack blog. And really, Thanksgiving is just a spring board to CHRISTMAS!! The day after Thanksgiving, we ventured out to find a Christmas tree. We left the house at 9:15pm and two tree lots were already closed for the night. We were so bummed, but decided to try ONE more place. The owners of the tree lot were a wonderful LDS couple from Utah and we had a great time chatting. We even helped them locate the nearest church, so that they could attend during the month they are in Arizona. We settled on a SHORT tree, that we have placed on top of a coffee (errrr....hot chocolate) table. This keeps the tree out of Emma's reach. The picture below is Emma and I at the tree lot. From her big grin, you can see that "All she has for Christmas is her 2 Front Teeth".

We took Emma and her cousin Ben (Jeff and Ashlee's) to the mall to see Santa. Of course we had to stop at the little ride in the main entrance. This was Emma's virgin "mall ride" voyage. She was pleased as punch and promptly stood up out of her seat, so that she could stand and have full control of the wheel. She is sporting her "J-Lo" sweatsuit that her Daddy bought her for Christmas last year. Yes, I too have a light blue sweatsuit that we affectionately call my T-Lo outfit. Don't be fooled by the rocks that we got, we're still, we're still Adams from the block.

Aunt Laura brought Ben and here they are in front of the Santa spot. Ben did great, Emma screamed her brains out. Old men tend to scare her... Santa was no different. I'll scan the original photo in sometime for your viewing pleasure.

I had my Tempe Symphony Christmas concert last night. It was a fun holiday concert and we filled Gammage auditorium right up! I was so honored to have Greg and all of his brothers (with their respective "significant others") come to my concert. Also in attendance were Laura, Sharron, Karin and JJ. How blessed I am to have so many people that support me! I am so grateful for their love. A special thanks to Sarah and Trent for watching Emma and Grammie and Grandpa for watching all 4 cousins. THANK YOU GUYS!! It really meant a lot to me.
