We had a nice, quiet, and white Christmas! Apparently the last time it snowed in Atlanta on Christmas Day was in the year 1882. Wow, that was a few years ago! We got up and had breakfast first. I needed my coffee and Emma needed to eat. We fixed fried chicken with jezebel sauce and biscuits. My grandmother had the tradition of making fried chicken on Christmas morning so we wanted to do that too. After breakfast, we took Emma Kate into the den to see what Santa had left for her. We had all her unwrapped gifts there with her stocking. She seemed a bit overwhelmed by all that new stuff just sitting there but she soon warmed up to it and started exploring. The chair was something that both her grandmothers bought for her. She just LOVES that chair. I think she feels like a big girl sitting in her chair. After Emma Kate’s morning nap, she opened some of her presents with our help. Opening presents was an all day activity for Emma. Everyone was so generous to her. Here some pictures from our holiday!
Emma Kate in her dress that Stephanie, Brian and Sylvie gave to her. We went to a Christmas party so this was the perfect thing for her to wear. Of course, she was the hit of the party.

Not sure what to think of all the stuff!
She LOVES her new chair
Looking at the stocking that my mom, Carolyn knit for her. We each have the same stocking that my mom has made for us. We treasure them!
Emma loves her pillow dog.

Outside in the snow with daddy. She was not sure what to think of those white things falling from the sky.
Our house with the snow fall before it got too dark.
Still snowing. I had no idea that the snow flakes would show up like this in the photo.
We hope that you all had a wonderful holiday! It is still hard for me to believe that we actually have Emma Kate as part of our family some days. We are so happy that she is and we look forward to many more holidays with her.
That's it for now. We will everyone a Happy New Year!!!
