Christmas 2008

We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. The Park Family did. We enjoyed spending time with our family and friends. This year it was a little more fun as far as the opening of presents went. Last year, Emma was only 7 months old so she really didn't show much emotion when she opened up her gifts. This year, Joshua was only 10 weeks old, so he didn't open up his own gifts nor show any emotions. Emma showed a lot of emotions when she opened up her gifts and gifts that weren't hers. Once she knew that the wrapped presents were to be opened, she would go grab other presents from under the tree that weren't even hers and she would say, "open," and rip the paper off when we weren't around. We had to rewrap some of the gifts because of her.

This year, Emma received a play kitchen from her Aunt Suki, Uncle Dan and Grandma Park. They sent a gift card from CA and we went and picked it out. She loves playing with it. Her favorite things are still her bead necklaces though that her Uncle Adam gave her. She will play with them all day long. Sometimes she even puts the bead necklaces in her play cups and then puts them in her play refrigerator. She is so funny. You will she how excited she got when she saw the present in the video below. We can't wait until next year to see how Joshua will react to opening gifts.

Emma: "See my favorite beads? I had them on at Thanksgiving as well."
Joshua: "Hmm...where is my ornament on the tree?"

"Joshua...I'm so glad you're my baby brother. Merry Christmas!!"

"Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!"

"C'mon Joshua...let's pose for the camera."

"Aunt Lindsay and Uncle Adam came over to visit with us on Christmas Eve."

"Look at my kitchen. It has a blender that really makes noises. I love it."

"Really? Why do my parents always dress me up every year?"

"What did you say Emma? You want to wear this? Be my guest."

"How do I look? I think it's too small for me."

"Did you guys buy me any clothes for Christmas? I'm freezing in just this onesie."

"What? Now, I'm allowed to open these presents?"

Joshua loves to sleep on his hand for some reason. He looks so cute.

"Ah...I'm going to take a little Christmas nap on my Aunt Lindsay. I'm sure Uncle Adam won't mind."

"I guess he did afterall. Haha. No, he just got jealous because he wanted to hold me. He's also jealous because I have more hair than he does. Hehe."

"Too bad Daddy didn't make it in this picture with us. He was too busy taking the photo. Oh well, I guess he'll have to photoshop himself in."

Video of Emma receiving her kitchen. You can here her saying, "Wow," and she does a little happy dance too.
