Emma's stocking is just about as big as she is! Mom just quickly added scrapbook sticker letters for this year, but intends to stitch their names on later.
Aunt Steph made Emma 3 really cute onesies. I just cracked up at "miso cute"!! (You know, like Miso soup.) This one has "Miso Cute" and a Chinese take out box, one has a fancy"E" and little jewels, and the other says something like Princess Diva, or some such.
Halie loves animals right now and her Mommy requested them for her stocking. So, I bought some that were quite a bit bigger than these and Nana got these smaller ones. We both found jungle animals, but farm animals were not to be found. She is in love with cows and horses!**Notice her Christmas shirt: "Best Present Ever". Cute! Cute!
Papaw found Emma a sippy cup with her name on it! We requested sippy cups for her stocking and tah! dah! a red Nuk one and a purple one with her name! Mommy also got a different brand for her stocking at home. Now we need to try them all out and find out which one actually works best for her. Emma also got a plastic, wipeable bib, as this Mommy is tired of baby foods ruining her cute bibs! She also got a fabric teether book, an Old Navy gift card, ladybug jammies, a turtle bathtub toy bin, a set of shape blocks with the bucket..............
Dad and his plaid flannel stocking. Mom's is the same, except it has an eyelet ruffle around the top. Not sure what he is opening here. He is hard to buy for, as he has most every little thing and when you ask him what he wants or needs he says things that cost $100 or $200!! Not quite stocking stuffers, even by my Mom's standards! At least this year he got no socks, ties or boxers!
OK! Now it is Christmas! Martin got his fruitcake! Mom always gets it for him and often it is in his stocking! What a yucky thing! I have learned to eat (even enjoy) a lot of various foods since being with Martin, but fruitcake and Marmite are 2 that I just can not do!
Robert has already got the candy and toys out! He and Martin got this flashing, spinning gyroscope type toy, where you have to get it spinning and running around a hand held track thingy and it lights up as it spins. Mom put them in there more for the little girls enjoyment, but the Dad's liked them too. Robert had his out right away. And you can count on it that candy doesn't waste away! Munching on Cookie Dough Bites and now the Dipped Pretzels... Where does he put it all???
This isn't the best picture, but it was the only one that showed both girls with their gift. Mom got them both a childish nativity set. It is breakable, but the characters look like little kids rather than old fashioned biblical type characters. I believe it is Fisher-Price, or maybe Playschool, that has a plastic/rubber nativity play set that I really want for Emma for next year's Christmas!! It is about $40 and I'm hoping to find it this week at a greatly reduced price!!
Papaw bought both girls an animated bear. It is a Papa bear reading "Twas the Night Before Christmas". I thought it was adorable and Emma liked hearing it and watching it move as it "talked".
Here is our lil' reindeer. She wore Halie's Christmas shirt from last year. It was dark pink, so she had a pink headband and socks. Mom couldn't figure out why I had her in pink for Christmas eve until she saw the words on the front.
Papaw reading to Halie Dawn, the bookworm. Martin read to her several times when we were at their house last week. She is reading Emma's kitten book. This is the one that I think Santa's suit reminded her of, with the white furry kitten.

You should take a picture of Emma sticking out of her stocking with a red headband on. It would be too cute.
