We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. We are looking forward to next Christmas because all of the Kolmetz Family were sick this year! We had two ear infections, one allergy attack, two parents who thought they wouldn't live through the stomach flu and one baby who started it all of by christening our van (twice)! We feel like the Grinch came by our house and stole our Christmas fun! Through it all Marcus reminded me that, even though we were as sick as dogs, we were celebrating Jesus' birth and not to worry about all the "other stuff" we didn't get to do because that's not what matters. We were blessed to spend Christmas with both of our families. I don't know if our presence was a blessing to them though...Sara got sick at both Christmas Eve dinner (at Marcus' parents house) and Christmas Day dinner(at my parent's house). Emma waited until Christmas Day snack! We have joked that we should have made up t-shirts that say "We Survived Christmas 2007!"
We moved our tree between the foyer and the living room 
so Sara wouldn't be able to roam all over the house. We were afraid she would want to climb up the tree but, for the most part, she left it alone.
We had a small Disney tree in the kitchen this year. The girls really enjoyed looking at it at breakfast and lunch!
We also put a new tree in our room. It was inspired by the Grand Floridian resort, where we spend our honeymoon. We never found a star that had the right Victorian feel to it so the top remained bare this year. It won't be long until merchants will have all the Christmas stuff out again and we can start a new search!
Now onto what you visit this blog for...pictures of the girls!
Poor Emma spent Christmas Eve in Grandma's chair watching Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas...one of her favorites! Her poor little eyes were so swollen!
Santa left Emma a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and some other great toys and books.
Sara got a tricycle from Santa, along with lots of other treats!
Daddy helped Emma with her hippity hop ball!
Watch out! Sara's got wheels!
You can catch the Kolmetz Girls Band at a toddler club near you!
Emma has a drum solo.
Sara will be featured on the Food Network challenge "Can You Fit in Your Own Oven." Let's hope this is the only oven she ever tries to get into!
Grandaddy helped Emma devise a kitty catcher. Aunt Beth's poor cat never got a moments rest unless the girls were asleep too. Aubie probably slept for a week!
Sara continues to love the David books. She and David have a lot in common. They both hear the word "no" and their name...a lot!
The girls enjoyed feeding the sea gulls and the pelicans. 
Poor bay (that's what Sara calls her blanket) must have needed to cool off! Sara was busy alternating bay's location from the refrigerator to the oven of the little kitchen. I've heard of people putting towels in the dryer to warm them up, but never the oven!
