Presents were lovingly wrapped by Grandpa.
Emma was born in the Year of the Rooster (way back in 05). According to the internet...so it's gotta be true...this is what Emma's like:"People born in the Year of the Rooster are deep thinkers, capable, and talented. They like to be busy and are devoted beyond their capabilities and are deeply disappointed if they fail. People born in the Rooster Year are often a bit eccentric, and often have rather difficult relationship with others. They always think they are right and usually are! They frequently are loners and though they give the outward impression of being adventurous, they are timid. Rooster people's emotions like their fortunes, swing very high to very low. They can be selfish and too outspoken, but are always interesting and can be extremely brave. They are most compatible with Ox, Snake, and Dragon."
Hunh. Well, I certainly agree with two of the statements:
1. "They always think they are right"
2. "...are always interesting"
Plus, of course, she is deep, capable, talented, busy, devoted, and brave. But none of that other stuff.
In other Year of the Ox news: Emma continues to be deeply enraptured by craft projects.
And conceived of the display below, which now graces the ceiling above our bathroom counter.
Last week we spent a fun evening at Uncle Matt and Aunt Erin's for the annual Superbowl din-din (me, I never even know who's playing, but the food and company are outstanding). Emma loves to be with cousins Josh, Jonah and Sam.
And it was an occasion to take the annual Superbowl Sunday Rib Photo (third year running). So, below, we have pix from 2007, 2008, and 2009. Our little rib-eater appears to be thriving.
Happy new year to you, yours, AND the ox you rode in on.

Great blog. The rib pics are rib tickling.
I was watching one of those TLC shows about bringing home newborn babies that are always riveting to me, and the little girl was Korean and was born in the year of the Golden Pig - not just the Pig, but the Golden Pig - and it got me wondering what animal Emma's year was attached to. Ahhh, the Rooster! The write-up cracked me up - sooo explicit. The "Little World" feast looks delish, but can't hold a candle to Joey's ribs!

Happy New Year to you as well. I love the craft projects and the fact that you hang them up! I also love the rib pictures in sequence. Emma has grown up but she is still cute!
I didn't realize mice liked ribs.
I can't believe this is her 3rd rib picture!!! Where has the time gone? Happy New Year to all.
Happy late new year! Food looks awesome. We didn't do anything special. I love the rib pictures. She sure has grown up! She is such a pretty girl. You sure are great parents to let her enjoy her talent with crafts. I think your bathroom ceiling has never looked better!
