gaylord

the day after christmas, we went to the gaylord texan, and it was beautiful! we all loved watching the trains. it was emory's first time to see a train set, and she quickly learned to point them out as they passed. "train" and "choo-choos" were frequent. ;) jeff and i are amazed at how quickly she learns words now.

we found this cute little sleigh

mimi and pops

the decoration are a-m-a-z-i-n-g. emory ran through most of the atrium, but we did get her to stop for a minute or two for a picture. ;) my best "trick" for keeping her in a frame is to put her on top of something. ha!

but she posed for this little pic all on her own!

daddy and emory looking at the fish. she loves animals so much right now and had a great time pointing to each fish {shish}. we love and treasure these little moments with her.

mid-run. i promise you this girl does.not.walk. even pops is amazed!

dogs are still a big fav, and she found this gingerbread dog and had to take a closer look. she loves climbing as much as she loves running. ;)

hello, bevo, it's me, emory!

watching the water fountain

mesmerized

after the gaylord, we came back to our house for the evening.

we ate dinner,

played with plastic bags {hats} on our heads,

and took a pink bath
