I spent the majority of my day watching family videos from the early 2000's. Here are some observations:
-I am way too excited about lame stocking stuffers (I GOT A HOLE PUNCHER! NYLONS! FLOWER UNDERWEAR (now Kiri these are mine, you can't wear them), NAIL CLIPPERS!)
-It makes sense why Emma ignores us now, we used to say her name literally every second of the day ("Emma answer my question!" "Emma make a funny face!" "Emma what do you have?" "Emma look at me!" "Emma what did you get?" "Emma, Emma, Emma!")
-Me: I got deodorant!
Andrew: Just what you wanted!
Kiri: Just what you needed!
-We had a birthday party for Emma's doll. Cake, pass the parcel, presents.
-Emma said super cute things like "I belong in a zoo!" "Pimeytails" (aka ponytails) "I'm putting my presents over here so you don't touch my stuff!"-said by 2 year old Emma
-There is a ten second video of my mom picking her nose
-There is a ten second video of Emma with snot dangling from her nose to chin. After ten second Andrew gets a tissue and wipes it for her.
- Emma couldn't blow out her candles so she tried putting her doll on the lit flame.
-Emma, while Andrew was attacking her: "Sisters! Sisters!"
-If our family videos from 2000 on were made into a movie it would probably be called "Emma and Her Family"
-We used to fight over who could cuddle Emma
-Andrew is really obnoxious when the video camera is on.
-We gave mom a Starbucks card and tumble for Christmas in 2002. Kiri: We bought it with our own money! The cup was $3.95
-Once my mom was in the kitchen grinding coffee. Me: "Mom! I wanted to grind the coffee!" I was obviously destined to be a barista
-Instead of a blindfold while hitting the piñata, my family just put paper bags over kids heads.
-Emma was like our doll, we dressed her up and put makeup on her when she was a baby.
