We loved our Chirstmas morning!

Christmas is just getting to be more fun every year with Addie! She was so funny unwrapping her gifts. She took forever to open them and had to move the pile of paper out of her way and put it away before moving on to the next gift.. OCD with cleaning. We got to visit with lots of family and also got to talk to my little brother that is on a mission! We have SO much to be thankful for this holiday season and always!

Now that's one great Daddy!

:) Posing with pride!

Addie got a TON of princess dress up stuff and was excited to start playing with it right away. Big burly, Uncle Rob was the closest so looks like he's up for the fun!

Excited for the big day!

Strrrrriiike!!

Last weekend we took Addie bowling for the first time. We went with our good friends the Taylor's and little Emma showed Add the "ropes" of bowling. It was the CUTEST thing to watch them play and cheer for each other. (and for all of us) When it was my turn all I could hear was Add yelling, " GO mommy Go!" It was so funny and it really put the pressure on! I didn't want to disappoint my fans! It turned out to be a great friends and family night. Can't wait to go again! (oh and aren't those little bowling shoes the cutest!!?)

Oh how we are LOVING the Christmas season!

Add's first gingerbread house, or "candy house" as she calls it! She ate most of candy, I'm surprised there was still enough to decorate the house with!

First time visiting Santa! I totally thought she wouldn't go for it. But as you can see we didn't have to force her to sit on his lap. She told him she wanted "barbies and babies" for Christmas. So no screaming pictures with santa this year. :)

Whenever we ask Addie what Daddy is, Uncle Jonny taught her to say "Cheap, Cheap, Cheap"... haha. And its so true too! (too bad the video is so dark, but I think it's funny anyway.)

All ready for nursery....

I am SO thankful for.....

My little sis is such a crack up! She took these pictures on my camera as a surprise to me! What a funny surprise it was when I looked through my pictures! She is sure teaching Addie some crazy new faces!! I love you girls! :)

We finished Addie's playroom a few months ago and I forgot to post a pic. I think it turned out cute with the BRIGHT pink! I really wanted to "girl" it up! Josh put up the wood panel stuff for me and I love how it turned out. The room is such brighter and happier then when we first started on it.

ah... warmth!

Addie's first time camping... she wasn't a big fan of the fire.

But she did LOVE playing in the sand again.

Last month we went boating in Lake Mead with Josh's family. It was so fun to get away from the cold and enjoy the nice sun again! Addie did so great camping and thought it was so great to sleep in the big tent with all 6 of us!

Is there a doctor in the house??

Emma came to our house to play the other day and I decided to get out all my old doctor stuff I used to play with as a child. They had so much fun. They took turns being "sick" and the other would fix her all up. They administered shots, medicine, and slings. Checked ears, and heart, and even did a few surgeries. It was so cute to watch them play. And since both of them have been to the doctor MANY times in their lives already (because they both get sick often) they knew just how to play doctor properly. :)

Happy Halloween!! : )

We had a great Halloween this year! Addie went trick-or-treating for the first time. Luckily Emma was there to show her how it's done. They were so cute running up to the doors together. But after about the 5th door, a big german shepard came busting past the door and knocked Addie down, freaked her out, candy went everywhere, and she fell down the steps. All within a few seconds. Poor thing was tramatized the rest of the night. She would not let Josh put her down. He had to carry her to every door for the rest of the night. Josh was such a good sport. I can't say I blame Addie though.. I would of been freaked out too if some animal bigger then me ran me over. She never know what was going to be behind the next door.
