Sunday Funday

Instead of skiing today, we took Emi sledding!

We found a golf course just outside of town and a little hill, perfect for Emi's size.

And was surprisingly fun for us big kids too!

Chris getting thrown up in the air by Marty so he could be just like Emi.

These two crack me up. 

As you can see, most of my pictures are of Emi.

We're simply enamored with her.

But being a mom of big kids can be equally as entertaining.

I love my kids, so much!

Today we had a big brunch, watched zoom church, sledded, 

while everyone napped, I rented skis for Emi for tomorrow (and got the purple goggles!),

and we played several rounds of Yahtzee and Monopoly Deal and got gelato.

Every night Chris goes out to buy us a new flat of water and a few treats.

(double-stuff Oreos have been a favorite this trip.)

Emi delights us with her imaginative play (pretending to get ready to take a nap, shop at the grocery store, making ice cream cones etc.). Her memory and observation are off the charts. She loves to help whoever is cooking and pulls up a chair to be close to the action.

She loves sitting in everyone's lap and calls everyone by name which is sooo cute (Uncle Chris. Uncle Mimi (Michael), Grammy & Papa).

And her little voice saying, "thank you," and "I love you, so much" and "Hmmmm," is so precious.

She sings non-stop: The Wheels on the Bus and Itsy Bitsy Spider.

And Uncle Chris and Uncle Mimi are champs, singing along with her.

Marty and Lizzie are the best parents! 

And enjoying Emi so much gets us all counting down the days to get to meet new baby Petersen. 

Courtney and Michael are also going to be the best parents. 

Dan and I love being grandparents and Chris loves being an uncle. 

So. Much Fun.
