Possibly Emily's favorite present of all was this little piano. She plays with it all the time; some days, she gets as much fun from turning it on and off as she does from playing music on it!
She also got a kitchen set; it has Elmo and Grover and Cookie Monster and the Grouch, and Bert and Ernie all making lots of kitchen noises and silly sounds. It also has food to go with it, and a menu and cash till so that it can work as a restaurant. She likes "cooking dinner" and feeding pizza and milk to me, Ken, and all her babies.
This is MY favorite gift that Emily got - and it's certainly been the most useful. It's the "Color-it" (aka Magna-Doodle) We keep it in the car and it keeps Emily well entertained, and distracts her (sometimes) when she's upset because she wants a biscuit, or some milk, or something else that we don't have in the car at that moment.
Jackson and Emily played hard over Christmas weekend. Jackson had a new Mickey Mouse pillow, which came in very handy for taking brief rests between play sessions.
Jackson and Emily both got lots of books for Christmas, too. One of Emily's favorite things to do these days is to climb up into every chair she can find - so it was great fun for her to share a seat with Jackson and read her new book for Mamaw.
