Christmas and New Years

I apologize once again for the frequency of our updates. Life has been crazy. We had a wonderful time having Emma home with us for Christmas and New Years. We spent Christmas Eve with Alissa's Family. Emma helped open her presents, but needed us to do most of it for her. Next year should be a lot of fun. On Christmas Day we spent it with Mark's family. Emma got a lot of fun new things from both sides of the family. We ended up spending most of the week at Mark's parents house. They setup a crib for Emma, so we hauled all her medical equipment to their house. Since it took so much effort to get it there, we decided to stay the week. It was nice to have some extra help. Nana stayed in Emma's room for a couple nights so that we could sleep without interruption. We went home on New Year's Day after almost a week away. It was hard to go from a bright spacious place back to our dark cave. Overall, we had a great holiday. Here are some pictures.
