The Many Faces of Emerson Dean

One of my absolute favorite things about my absolute favorite Nephew (who seems to lend himself to superlatives) is the adorable variety of expressive faces that he pulls. The following pics highlight some of my personal favorites caught on camera over his 3 day visit with us.

Have a Holly Jolly Christmas!

Emerson Dean and His Daddy

You might be able to tell from the number of pictures I took, but I don't think I have ever seen anything as sweet as my baby brother holding his baby boy.

Emerson Dean and Uncle Luvin

Last but not least, Emerson Dean's Uncles all made sure they got their chance holding him. To be fair, they didn't exactly receive an EQUAL chance amongst all us girls, but we tried to make sure they all got to hold him at least once. lol. Poor Grandma barely got to see him at all this vacation, but we figured since she was the one who cashed in on holding him the most right after he was born that it was only fair we had dibs first.

Emerson Dean and Grandpa

Surprise, surprise, the other family member little EmerD, as Richard calls him, had wrapped around his adorable little finger was Grandpa.  I have never seen anything quite so adorable as my Dad with his first grandson.

 

Emerson Dean and His Aunties

One of the very best parts of Christmas this year was the presence of the first official Preston grandbaby, Emerson Dean. Algot, Alisha, Avery and Emerson arrived the day after Christmas and the fun times began! His Aunts went absolutely CRAZY for the adorable little guy, narrowly averting fisticuffs at times when whose turn it was to hold him was in question.

I Cry Uncle

So, I know that we are back from London and all, but I have decided that until I finish putting up all 70 days of our Europe Extravaganza I will maintain the 'London Facade' for our blog.  Unfortunately, my job and my life just got a LOT busier, and I'm not sure when I will be able to accomplish finishing the 'chronicle' of our stay in England. Ergo, since the blog is kind of my main forum for sharing pictures etc., I can't go on indefinitely not writing about current events (e.g., Christmas) So for those of you waiting to hear about Paris, Prague, Vienna, Sweden...those entries are coming! I promise! You will just have to backtrack a little in the blog posts to read them...
