Christmas Day

This Christmas was especially fun because Addison really got into it. She was a very good girl this year so of course she got lots of presents from Santa and from everyone else. Here are some pictures from the day!

Christmas Eve


This was my first year hosting Christmas Eve and it turned out very nice. We had my whole family, Jay's mom and my grandparents over. Before everyone came over we were invited to our neighbor's house. She had hired a Santa and Mrs. Claus to come over to give presents. Addy wasn't too sure about them, but the whole experience was pretty cool. Also on Christmas Eve Addy got to open a present from Nonna and Grandpa. She got this princess set with shoes, jewelry and a wand. She wanted to put it on right away. We couldn't get over how cute she was. Jay also had made a movie for my parents using all the pictures from Disney set to music. It turned out so good and my parents loved it. Here are some pictures from Christmas Eve.

Family Christmas in Delavan


This past Saturday we celebrated Christmas with my mom's side of the family. Despite the weather it was a nice time. Addy loved running around and also playing with her cousin Spencer. Addy was a very lucky girl and received a lot of nice presents. It was an early Christmas for her that is for sure. We can not wait for this week. It is going to be a really fun Christmas especially since Addy loves opening the presents and is so much more aware of things this year. Enjoy the pics!

Visit with Santa


Today we went to see Santa in Downtown Crystal Lake. I love that Santa because he is so real looking not like the fake looking Santas you see. Addy loved seeing him from a far, but up close was not the same. She didn't want to sit on Santa's lap, but she would at least stand by him and look at him. No crying so that is good! Here are some pictures from the visit.

More Tree Pictures


Addy wanted to pose in front of the tree. She was wearing a sweater she got from Aunt Donna. She looked really cute just smiling in front of the tree. I of course had to keep taking pictures. Enjoy the pictures!

Oh Christmas Tree


Addy loves our Christmas Tree. Every time she sees it she goes Woah! She loves looking at all the ornaments. Jay got her a Tigger dressed as Santa. He stands up by our snowman table and she loves hugging him. Here are some funny pictures of her.

New Haircut



I haven't posted in awhile, but wanted to post pics of Addy's new haircut. She got her bangs and the rest of her hair cut. She looks like such a big girl. She is growing way too fast.

Baking Cookies

This past Sunday Addy and I went over to my moms and made cookies with my mom and sisters. Addy looked so cute in her apron. She had fun putting on the sprinkles. By the end she was pretty tired and ended falling asleep on my sister. Here are a couple of the pictures I was able to take to capture this fun day!

Happy Thanksgiving


Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We were at my parents house and it was really nice relaxing day. Addy was of course a joy and loved being with her Aunts,Uncle, Nonna and Grandpa. We helped my mom put up Christmas decorations and then had a wonderful meal. Instead of watching a Christmas movie we watched Faith Hill's Christmas Special. I was excited to watch it again because that was the same concert that Jay had gotten tickets to. All and all it was a wonderful day. We have so many wonderful things to be Thankful for.
