Ooohhh the weather outside is...SUNNY AND 76 DEGREES???!!!

Seriously, could this weather be more UNlike Christmastime? I have a very cute red sweater and scarf combo I would love to whip out. And an adorable snow-penquin pin for my coat but at this time it's not sweater or coat weather. As a matter of fact, Emma wore a long sleeve dress today with no tights or socks and was still hot! Craziness! I so wanted to enjoy the hot chocolate I just bought, but what's the use?! Our AC is on for goodness sakes! Oh well! It'll still be a great Christmas, sweaters or not!

In honor of the "beach" weather, here are some pictures of Miss Emma at Virginia Beach last week!

Our Thanksgiving

Our day began wonderfully! It was a beautiful North Carolina Thursday and Emma was ready for some of Grandma Gwen's good cooking!!!

Emma's all ready for the day!

After lunch, we headed across the field to Aunt Kimmie's for a friendly game of paintball! Well, the guys [and Aunt WeeWee] played paintball while the rest of us played cards and watched Emma run down the hills and roll in the leaves!

Emma's Grandma Rita enjoyed playing with Em outside and taking lots of pictures of her! Luckily I was able to capture this precious moment between the two!

After a long day of playing and eating (like a bird) Emma was pooped and was ready for a nap. It was a wonderful Thanksgiving spent with our fabulous family!

And the following night, I was able to enjoy a little girl time! I went to Jennifer's and had a glass or two (or ten) of wine and chatted like school girls with my friends! I just wish I would have really stopped at that 2nd glass!

Me, Jennifer, Terri Jo, Katie, Amy, and Wendi
