Snow Pictures From NY
It was actually unusual that Upstate New York didn’t get much snow while we were there for our Christmas holiday. I told my husband we might have brought the NC effect effect with us. I mean it was definitely cold and reminded me of the 8 years that we’ve spent in New York before moving to the South, but not much snow. On the 23rd, it finally snowed but only 2-3 inches. Nevertheless, it was a beautiful scene so Scott took as much pictures he could take, and here they are.
The Emma Lyn Rescue
So the story goes, after opening gifts, and eating breakfast of Eggnog French Toast made by the dear husband, we went to the golf course for a bit of sledding. Well they did anyway. Daddy, Emma and Caine. I talked to my Dad first coz the cellphone didn’t have a signal at my in-laws’ house. I could’ve used their phone line but since we were going in town at the golf course anyway, took advantage of the signal from the cellphone. Anyhooo, after talking to my Dad, I did my part in the sledding. Take pictures and video.
On the 2nd(or was it 3rd?), Emma Lyn went on her own. And as I watched her go down the snow path, I saw the small frozen pond ahead. I kept thinking, “she’s gonna go into the pond, she’s gonna go into the pond”, and guess what, she did. As I watched, I had the video cam on one hand, Nikon on the other. I couldn’t do anything. I froze and screamed. Scott told me not to scream as he sprinted his way down to the pond. The pond isn’t really that deep and it was frozen enough for my light daughter on top of the board to be on but yah know, I’m a Mom, and a frozen pond is a frozen pond. It’s not like the pond has pool safety covers for the winter season.
I stopped screaming as soon Scott reached the pond, then took a video of “The Emma Lyn Rescue.”

Christmas Pictures, Day 2
Yesterday was supposed to be the kids “pictorial” day for our Christmas card this year,. I’ve had everything set up. The Christmas Tree as the background, and they were both all dressed up. However, I was only able to take pictures of Caine. I have a lot of solo pictures of him. Emma Lyn on the hand, NADA.
Today is a different scenario though, well slightly. Emma is wearing her outfit again and I was able to take solo picture a a few hours ago. But I still can’t get the shot I want. Aaahhhh. What is it that I want anyway? I dunno, Haha.
So we’re here, waiting for Caine to get home from school so maybe, my God please help me, I’ll be able to take a picture of them together. I’m pretty sure after taking 100 shots, I’ll have 2-3 good ones that I could possibly use for our Christmas card. No wonder professional photography is expensive, Haha!
Here’s Emma doing the robot dance.. LOL. She’s cute 
The Town’s Christmas Parade
I can’t believe we actually woke up early so we could watch the town’s Christmas parade this morning. I woke up first which to tell you the truth would never have happened if I didn’t have to go to the bathroom so badly, HAHA! I could have gone back to bed but I figured I might as well stay up and watch the parade with the family. Scott woke up shortly after, we both checked online a bit, he and Caine ate breakfast, Emma Lyn and I didn’t coz were not breakfast people, then got ready and we were off just in the nick of time. It was difficult to find a parking spot but Scott found one eventually then looked for the right spot in the town circle. We moved twice for better viewing before the parade started. Lots of fire trucks which Emma loves, many candies were given away that Emma said it was Halloween, clowns, school bands, Princesses, business floats, mini-nascar. classic cars, Chargers(car), and many more. I took so many pictures of course.
What To Do This Weekend?
My husband said we should do something this weekend. Besides shopping for Christmas gifts, I really can’t think of anything to do with the kids this early in the month that’s related to Christmas. I thought about checking out Christmas lights but it’s still too early around our area for lights. There’s a parade in the little plaza right where we live on Saturday morning but that would only last for an hour or probably less than that. I could check out caribbean all inclusive packages but we need something to do this weekend and I’m not prepared for a Caribbean trip right now, haha.
I’ll check out local websites and check out what they’ve got going . Hopefully I’ll find something and the kids will have fun. I have a feeling we’ll end up at Chuck E Cheese.
Picture, Picture On Thanksgiving Day
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day! How much did you eat?
Parents.com Pick Of The Week
I uploaded that picture in the CuteKid’s account after I got an e-mail reminder to add a new one for the month of November and maybe enter it into a contest. But as usual, to be able to take advantage of CuteKid’s numerous modeling contests or whatnots, I have to pay a registration fee. As I’ve always done, I left the site after I uploaded the picture. Essentially, I am potentially holding back my daughter for possibly having a successful modeling career. Waahh!
I opened my e-mail a few minutes ago and got an e-mail from Parents.com. Emma’s picture had been picked to compete for the cutest kids this week. Now I have to shamelessly ask my family members and friends to vote for my child. This is actually the second time that Emma was picked. Last year her Halloween costume was picked too and she started off in the 4th place but as the week progressed, she ended up in the 19th place. Oh well. If there’s a college education prize then I’ll be devastated but as it is, we’re voting(assuming there will be other voters besides me, LOL) to win the title of the Cutest Kid this week. The contenders are all cute so may the cutest kid win, I guess.
If anyone wants to vote for my daughter, click here. Vote once per day! Thank You
Rake The Leaves
She started to rake the leaves yesterday and she loved it. She thought she was too cool for words.
