We went to Christmas in the Park in downtown San Jose this evening with some friends. (www.christmasinthepark.org).

This was the same outfit she wore last year to the carriage ride

I kind of squeezed her into it.
In her car seat giving me a cheesy grin
Saying, “Let’s Go, Mom!” I am no longer “mommy”. She calls me “mom”.
Enjoying a chocolate chip cookie before the Carriage ride
Looking at the beautifully lighted houses in downtown Los Gatos
She excitedly opens it with help from Brown Puppy
The two brown spots on Em’s face is chocolate. She just woke from a nap and slept on two M&Ms which obviously melted on her cheek.
Emily happily hugs her grumpy brother!
She is super excited about her brand new Miss Sunshine watch
She also got a pretty bracelet & necklace which she put around Brown Puppy’s neck! Thanks Sweet Julia! We miss you!
Emily walked right up to Santa Claus without hesitation. Below are some pictures of Emily sitting on Santa’s lap and telling him what she wants for XMAS. He was asking her questions like, “Do you listen to your mama?” She answered some of his questions, but basically was just content hanging out sitting on his lap!
Max told him that he wanted 17 cars and a video game for Christmas
Santa Claus asked him what was the “ONE” thing that he wanted;
he told him a video game. Wallace has been working with Max on his mouse skills by playing various games on the computer. Max is making making progress after only 3 short lessons.
