Merry Christmas from North Cackalaky!!

Because Aunt Jessy is pregnant, we decided we should spend Christmas in North Carolina at her house. This was the first time we have ever done Christmas away from home, and Emerson wasn't too sure about it....but of course he had a great time like the rest of us! It was also the first time in 7 years that Mommy and her family were together for Christmas, which really made her happy.

We all went to Christmas Eve service at my Mommom Suter's church. She used to play the piano there so it is a really special place. Emerosn and Trey both fell asleep during the service, but I managed to stay awake. After the service, Uncle Eric and Uncle Drew took me up to the front of the church to see the baby grand piano that the church ladies bought in memory of Mommom. I was the one that found the gold plate on the side that said "In Memory of Debby Suter, 1953-2003". Uncle Eric took my picture next to it.



After church, we went back to Aunt Jessy's house where we were all allowed to open 1 present. Everyone got a new pair of Christmas jammies! Thank you Mommom Lois for our jammies again this year!! They were so comfy and Mommy and Aunt Jessy thought we looked so cute!




After jammies it was time for bed. All was fine until Treyman started puking around 3am. Poor guy was sick all of Christmas and Uncle Carl helped him open most of his presents. The next day he didn't even remember what Santa had brought him! Santa really out did himself again this year. I guess Christmas can get a little out of control when you have 10 of us all together (or 10.5 counting the growing baby Riseley!) We woke up around 6am, and Uncle Eric called Poppop Suter. He got there in 10 minutes!! My favorite presents this year were my Kindle and my bow & arrow. Emerson's favorite presents were his scooter from Santa and his bb gun from Uncle Drew!







The day after Christmas Mommy threw a baby shower for Aunt Jessy & baby Riseley. It was a "Sweets" Shower. She had a cookie cake and all different candies and ice cream. The funny thing was that Aunt Jessy didn't pass her sugar test at her doctor's office a couple of days before!
