Emily also had a very long drive for her Christmas. We made the trip in two days and left around 6 pm the first night. By around 9:00, Emily was literally begging to please find a hotel because she needed to go to sleep. After five years, the kid finally recognizes her need for sleep and how she feels when she is tired. She now (mostly) embraces sleep, but if we keep her up much beyond 7:30, she's a bear. Still, she did really well on the trip too.
Above: Emily with Daddy, opening one of her many "Barbies". It was actually Mulan of the Disney Princess fame, but she's totally into all things Barbie and princess, so it was a hit.
Above: Emily holding her new tutu. Note the headband with bow that she picked out herself and insisted on wearing, even with her pjs.
Above: The only thing Emily asked for from Santa was a Barbie car. It was the very last present she opened, and she was getting worried that maybe he forgot. Barbie and the princesses and Ken have ridden many places in that car.
Above: Emily sitting with her second cousin Angela. Em got the game "Pretty, Pretty Princess" for Christmas from my aunt and we have all played...and played....and played. She wanted me to take her picture after she won.
Above: Emily unwrapped a lot of presents this year...hers and Ethan's. Ethan could not have cared less about the whole Christmas present thing. He slept through Christmas Eve present opening and much of Christmas morning. So Emily "helped" him open his gifts as well.
