Christmas

Christmas was even more fun with Addy this year. She of course was a good girl all year and received a lot of great gifts from Santa and family. As you can imagine we have a lot of pictures from that day, but here are just a couple of them.

Merry Christmas

We want to wish everyone a very happy and memorable Christmas. We are looking forward to our Christmas Eve with Christmas Mass and dinner at my parents house with watching a new Christmas movie this year. Then on Christmas Day my mom's whole family will be at my parents house. I can't wait to see how Addy reacts to Christmas this year!!

Our Baby is now 16 months

I can remember when she was 6 months. Where is oue little baby? She is growing more and more every day and developing her own personality. The other night we took her to a Winter Teddy Music Festival and she LOVED it. We got some pictures of her although it was tough to get a good picture because she was running around the whole time. After the sing-a-long they had cookies and drinks and she sure loved that cookie after running around the whole time. I really think she is enjoying this holiday season!

Visit with Santa and fun in the snow

We went to see Santa yesterday and Addy wasn't as excited to see him as I was. Perhaps next year will be better. Here is a picture of that along with an adorable one of her playing in the snow. As you can see she is pretty much all bundled up. It was amazing that she could move at all.

Cookies and Christmas Bread

So this weekend we were busy baking cookies and the Christmas Breads with my family. My mom got Addy her own apron at a craft show and it comes with mini spoons and rolling pins. It is too cute. She loved it. Here are some pictures of her and one of 4 generations. We were lucky to get one with all of us looking.

Some new pictures of Addy

So I haven't posted new pictures in awhile and thought I would. I tried for the first time to do pigtails on Addy and you will notice they aren't very even, but the fact that I was able to put them in her hair is a miracle. It is even more of a miracle that she kept them in for awhile. I just can not wait for her to get more hair. Here are some pictures of her cute hair, can you tell I am excited about it? Here is also a picture of Addy climbing the stairs and looking thru the stockings.

Meeting a New Friend

I have been behind on posts, but last week we met a new friend. My friend Candy, she goes by Candace now but I know her as Candy, she just had a baby girl Tessa a couple of months ago. She is precious and so adorable. We have been trying to meet up for awhile and hopefully we will have another playdate soon.

Great news for Jay

Jay just got his best Christmas Present ever, he received a job offer from Sears Corporate Center. He will be starting his new job in January. We are so proud of him and so happy that this opportunity has come along. He deserves this job so much especially after being with Sprint for 6 years. This will be a great, fresh new start for a new year! We feel very blessed during this holiday season!

Fred Claus

Jay and I had a pretty fun day yesterday. My mom watched Addy in the afternoon so we could run some errands and go see a movie. So despite all the choices out now we decided to keep in the holiday spirit and see Fred Claus with Vince Vaughn. We both love every movie that Vince has been in so we didn't think he would disappoint us. We were right. I thought the movie was a great addition to my already favorite holiday. Vince was his same funny self and really brought the movie to life. Paul Giamatti played an amazing Santa Claus. The movie had a great storyline and message and by the end I was a little teary-eyed. I know what you are thinking, but I guess I am a little emotional these days. I just love those type of holiday movies. Christmas is the best time of year for everything.
Addy is having a lot of fun looking at snowman everywhere along with playing with the ornaments on the tree. She of course loves to take them off the tree and bring them to either one of us and then wants to put them back on the tree. She definitely adds a lot more to this holiday season. We enjoy seeing her get excited about all the new things she sees. She still isn't quite talking yet...well talking in a language we can understand, but she sure has a lot to say in her own.

Addy's 1st Haircut

Addy had her first haircut the day before Thanksgiving. It was really only her bangs that got cut. We went to the hair place after she was at the doctor for her shots so obviously she wasn't too happy, but the bangs were way too long. The same stylist that did my hair for my wedding was the same guy that gave Addy her first haircut. That was pretty cool.
It is so much better now that we can see her pretty little face.
