Waffle to Waffle

As the kids poured into the play area, Emma got a little silly. Here is a video clip of her going from one waffle to another.

Breakfast at the Mall

Temps dropped dramatically today so playtime at the good ol' Cherry Creek Mall was on our agenda. I took photos in normal as well as indoor and they literally look like night and day -- we we not there ALL day, I promise. Here is Emma playing on the bacon, strawberries and bannanas. Emma is also sporting her cute new outfit from the Steinhoffer's (Great Aunt Dawn, Great Uncle Bruce and cousins Casey and Andrea) - thanks again!

Emma at the Zoo

Today was a beautiful day in Mile High with 60 degrees and sunshsine. Emma and I went to the zoo where she saw monkeys, elephants and one goose that wanted her hot dog. Here are some photos of Emma in the Monkey House, by the frozen pond and being stalked by the bird.

Daddy and Emma

Couldn't resist adding this photo. Emma and her Daddy goofing around on her new big girl bed.

I am leaning towards this super cute bedding set at Target.com with polka dots and froggy sheets - how perfect with the new Frog Prince table, right?!

New Furniture for Emma's BIG Girl Room

With the impending late summer arrival of Emma's little brother or sister, we have been fixing up the former "Tropical" guest bedroom into a princess palace for the BIG girl. We kept the tropical green wall color - it's soothing, light and we won't have to repaint it (i.e. LAZY). Ryan found a great dresser and we spotted this Frog Prince and Princess table on super clearance at Big Lots today. Here are some photos of the room, new stuff and Emma testing it out.

Saturday, January 3, 2009

Today a cold front hit Denver causing temps to drop and a few snow flurries. We decided to get out and about before any real snow came down. We ended up at Colorado Mills Outlet Mall and let Emma walk around and "window shop". Here are a few pics of her on the kiddie rides there.

Later that day, we "did lunch" with some sharks - literally. We ate at the Denver Aquarium and Emma got to eat chicken fingers while inches away from sharks, eels and millions of fish! Ryan and I weren't so nice - we ate fish tacos right in front of the fish - I know, but they were so delicious!

Emma Meets Baby Stella

Since we spent Christmas in Texas, Emma had a few gifts here in Denver to open. We're trying to do one a day for fun. Hopefully she won't think she gets to open a wrapped gift everyday now!

Today, Emma opened her Baby Stella doll from Auntie Kellie, Uncle Joe and Cousin Gavin. Emma loves to give her kisses and rock her and play with the magnetic paci. Thanks again for the great gift!

Here are photos of Emma opening her gift and video of her and Baby Stella. Happy New Year!
