Delightful December

Is Emily a Daddy's girl? 

 She looks pretty happy. Maybe she is...
 

One of Emily's favorite things to do is look at our Christmas tree. She is pretty cute.

On Saturday, December 1 we met up with Joel and Melanie for some yummy food at the Olive Garden. Emily was the star of the show.

On Sunday, December 2, our stake put on a huge celebration for Christmas. They even presented a live Nativity. Here is Greg and Emily with one of the wisemen.

Two of the youth in your ward were angels, so I insisted on getting my picture taken with them. Pretty cool that they both got baptized this year!

On Tuesday, December 18 we frosted sugar cookies. As you can see, it is pretty intense!!

Fun times at the Burr household

A Thanksgiving Baby

Emily is 6 months old now and STILL cute!

She is really good at sucking her fingers when she sleeps.

Wouldn't she make the cutest baby model?

Emily already loves music... which Greg is really happy about.

Alright, I'll stop talking about my baby and get to Thanksgiving now. This year we stayed home for Thanksgiving because Greg had to work on Friday. We had: rolls, breaded chicken (instead of turkey), potatoes, gravy, corn, stuffing, and pumpkin pie for dessert! Yum!

Our little family at Thanksgiving

After we were stuffed to the max, we got out our Christmas decorations and got to work. I couldn't resist putting Santa's hat on Emily. She makes a pretty cute elf.

After putting up our Christmas decor, we decided to go look at Christmas lights. We went to the Cactus Gardens here in Vegas. It was so fun. I think Emily enjoyed it the most.

Here's proof that she loved the lights!

Mother and daughter

After Greg got off work on Friday, we drove to West Jordan, Utah for the weekend. We got to hang out with Greg's family. Here is Emily playing with her cousin, Joel. Don't they look like brother and sister?

Greg's family was nice enough to have Thanksgiving dinner again on Saturday. Good times, good company and good food!

Halloween Week

Emily was so excited for Halloween.

She made a really cute ballerina. Everyone wanted to hold her. I mean, who wouldn't want to hold a ballerina princess?

She loved all the attention she got from her dad because of her awesome costume.

I don't think I have ever seen a cuter baby.

She loved watching everyone at the Ward Halloween Party. 

Emily is so patriotic, she came voting with us. We voted at the mall. As you can see, our mall isn't really the happenin' place.

Our adorable Halloween baby

I love Halloween!

Don't mess with me...

Now we're back to normal life. Hope you all had a happy Halloween!

Visitors from Up North

On October 3 we got some visitors. Since Greg's Dad works for Delta airlines, his family gets some pretty sweet traveling deals. So Greg's mom, sister Aubry, sister Malerie, and nephew Joel came for the day. We had a lot of fun. Mom insisted on tending the grandbabies while the rest of us went shopping. Emily loves her Grandma Burr. 

Here are the women: Mom Burr, Malerie, Aubry, Me, Emily, and Joel on Aubry's lap (okay, so maybe one boy). I went shopping with Malerie and Aubry. I'm pretty sure I convinced them to move to Vegas because of their awesome experience...

 Do you think that Greg looks like his sisters? 

They only stayed for a day. We were sad to see them go. Me and Joel are really good friends. I'm totally his favorite aunt.

Kissing Cousins...

Emily is still sad they all left.

But she DOES know how to roll over!
