Christmas 2008

We had a wonderful Christmas with Addie this year! We spent a week visiting family and friends in Austin and Dallas. When we got home, Santa had been to our house and left Addie a table and chairs for her playroom. She loves her table. She colors, plays tea, and occaisonally climbs on top of it! We had 5 different Christmases and by the last one, Addie was a pro at opening gifts! Every time she unwrapped one, she would say "ooohhhh." It was so cute! We are finally unpacked and trying to get back into our routine. Addie has been a tad bit naughty the past few days and we are hoping it is due to all of our traveling!

Here is Addie with her cousins on the Stockton side in Austin.

Addie received the cutest backpack from her Aunt Bobbie and Aunt Judy. She loves it!

Addie opened a beautiful quilt that her Mimi made for her...and also went for a ride in her new wagon..with all of her belongings in her arms...

Addie and Grandpa watching Sesame Street and then Addie with Uncle Kyle...she had been showing him how she jumps on the bed :)

When we got home, Addie was thrilled to open new Elmo movies and a leap frog refrigerator toy! She also received a baby doll and she loves to feed her and put her to bed.

Addie got some fingernail polish in her stocking and it was a hit...how did Santa know? She is very proud of her fingers and toes and shows them to everyone!

Addie loves our cat Mao (O'Malley). She always wants to hold him and love on him. The problem is, he does not love her back. He runs when he sees her and may swat her from time to time. However this particular morning she managed to inch herself behind him and "hold him" in her lap. She gave him her blankie which is a true sign of her love!

Addie has also discovered popcorn! It has actually worked out well for me because it buys me at least an hour in Target! It is the cheapest entertainment I have found!

Here are a couple of Addie dressed up for Christmas pictures. When she puts on a "fancy" dress, she loves to go show her daddy and have him tell her how pretty she is. It is so cute!

Our family rooting for the Aggies and the Owls!

Addie and Mommy....Addie would say, "Oh my mama!"

Visit with Mavis and Aiden

Addie and I went to Dallas the week after Christmas and had a great time. Mavis and I took Aiden and Addie to see Santa and neither of the girls enjoyed him much. Addie acted like she would like to go see him, while Aiden started crying the second she spotted him! We enjoyed spending time with Mavis and Aiden and it is really fun watching the girls grow and play together. Addie wanted to love and hug on Aiden and Aiden would tell her "No." Addie is definitely VERY concerned with everything going on around her. She does not want to miss out on anything. If I told her she could not do something, and then Aiden did it...she would let me know. Mavis and I giggle at her because she is constantly worrying that someone is going to get something or do something that she wants.
