Fall is in the air

Well, what we call "fall" here is San Diego, which means the weather is cooler, it is getting darker earlier, football is on and all the tourists are gone! It was actually a cool weekend and a cold night, poor Emmy woke up and her toes were like little popsicles. Looks like we may need to turn the heater on! At least until the next heat wave :)

I am so excited for the holidays already. It is my favorite time of year but I am even more excited to share it all with Emery this year. Everything is better with her around - shopping, eating meals, taking walks, even folding laundry! I am not usually a Halloween person but this year is totally different. We have 2 costumes for her and are planning a little party with some of our friends and their kids! Christmas will be the best. Nothing is better than thinking of that perfect gift for someone you love, wrapping it up all pretty and watching their faces as they open it. The smell of baking in the house and getting all snuggled up when it is cold out. Spending time with family and hopefully beating my brother in poker this year. I can't wait! I know she is too young to understand but it will still be fun to celebrate with her and do all the fun holiday activities. I bought my first Christmas presents over the weekend! Yes, I know I need to be on top of it this year so I am starting early. I told Josh we are going to be the first ones in line when Santa comes to town :)

I had to put away Emery's summer clothes (partially because they are too small) and pull out the winter ones! She looks so cute all dressed up in her long sleeved onesies, hoodies and pants. She wore her first pair of jeans yesterday. She only wore them for a photo opp, they looked way to uncomfortable to wear to the park. So, I put her comfy velour pants back on. Like mother like daughter!
