Christmas in Harmon-Nerdomdom

Well the Nortons were in fine holiday form this year for Christmas - if disease & illness can constitute "fine form." Little cousin Ellie spent Christmas Eve at her other grandparents house, vomiting all the night through. A week later, nearly everyone here had paid their penance to this 24-hour flu demon - everyone except Emma, which I could not be more grateful for!

Intestinal cleansing aside, it was a wonderful Christmas season for our little family. We spent all day Christmas Eve at Grandma & Grandpa Harmons with Colby's side of the family, and the headed back to the Nortons Christmas morning. (Sorry to Grandma Joni for the absence of Harmon pics, Ren is apparently holding them ransom!)

Playing on Uncle Dave's new gaming chair - why it's this exciting, I'm not really sure!


One of Emma's favorite new Christmas toys, her Bounce'N'Spin Zebra. She can stretch her feet down just enough to bounce lightly - but with gusto! She absolutely loves it, and watching her climb on & bounce around with delight is too adorable.


This is Emma's Christmas dress, with matching ruby-red slippers.

Emma also had such a fun time playing with her cousins Jackson, Ellie & Tommy - and who wouldn't, look at those fun faces!

This is Emma signing to me that this bath is "All Done!"

And now this post is all done! We really love Christmas & it's always sad to see it pass. But at least this year we're not having to leave family immediately. We have a good several months here with them & we plan to make the most of it!
