Last week was crazy. We finalized Wesley's adoption at 8:30 Friday morning. The kids had been up since 6:00 and were in the middle of a full melt down by the time we got into see the judge. This is the only picture we got. Wesley was excited and wanted to hold the paperwork, and Em is pulling on her teeth that are coming in.

Next stop was the airport to see Michael come home from his mission. He has never met the kids, so we made a sign in case he didn't know who they were.

We went to the church Christmas party Friday night and had to bribe Em with David's blackberry to get her to stop screaming in the car. This child knows her cell phones. She won't play with the fake plastic ones, but as soon as she gets her little hands on a blackberry she is talking and texting everyone!

And in other news, Em is doing very well at not destroying the Christmas tree. She has however, decided that there needed to be some additional decorations. Each day we find a different toy on the tree. Last Friday when we couldn't find her shoes, we found them two days later stuck in the backside of the tree. Below is Habib, her camel that Aunt Krista got for her in Jordan. I think he makes a fine addition!

Em and Wes are starting to enjoy playing together. Their favorite thing to do is hang out on blankets.

Emilee likes to show Wesley how to help with the laundry.

She also likes to show him how to stop the paparazzi named Mom.
