Christmas morning on her new battery powered ATV. Daddy's idea :)
The pink outfit is a gift from Auntie Karen!


Daron wearing his new Beer Pressure (like Peer Pressure) from Auntie Lisa!
Zeena looking at me saying "Where is my gift? Where is my gift?" This is the first year in the 9 years we have had her that she hasn't had a present to open. What kind of mother am I?

The Andrews Family went on a Fast

Yes, Grammy and Grandpa Texas came for a visit Dec. 16 - Dec. 22nd. Little did they know we would all be fasting for the holiday. The stomach bug came through with a vengence. Addy was the first to experience it and then Grammy went down, Grandpa was next and Jen and Daron decided to get it overwith the same night. UGH. All I can say is thank goodness for two bathrooms. It has taken a good week to feel a bit better and no one wants a full meal yet. Needless to say, we didn't take too many photos. We did take some of Addy's new Kitchenette that Grammy and Grandpa gave her. We will post those soon!

Mimi, Grandpa and Aunt Lisa (or Sa Sa as Addy says) had a much better time on a cruise! We were so happy for them and so happy we weren't traveling to join them feeling the way we did!

Sa Sa just sent some photos! Thanks to Uncle Dan and Krista Lisa was able to leave her doggies behind and enjoy a nice Christmas! I LOVE the photo of Grandpa on the bed in his cabin. That is probably exactly where I would head on vacation - sleep!!!! Lisa and MiMi look wonderful and I can't wait to hear the stories.

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow!
Awesome snow storm on December 7th 2009. Addy, Zeena, the chickens and I went out to enjoy the white world.

Karen made it in from Chicago despite the horrible weather and I picked her up in St. George and it took us a good two hours to drive back to Kanab but we made it!!! Addy got lots of Elmo gifts from Karen and she enjoyed having Karen read her her new books!!!

Addy LOVED the snow. In fact, I couldn't get her to come inside.

Ribbon found around the stray cats neck! Yikes.

A teenage cat came through our cat door last night much to our surprise. Ribbon tied tight around her neck, started to embed in the skin. He is friendly and happy to have the ribbon off! Now I need to find him a home or foster! Any help? We can transport across country :)

Our guest room was looking dark and drab so I bought a can of silver spray paint and went to town. I am sure I will be sick of it soon but for now it has a nice sparkly Christmas vibe!

Daron and Addy checking on the chickens and preparing for the 14 degree night. Yikes.
Addy loves Santa and she loves to carry him around and dance too. We have some video that Daron will have to upload of Addy and Santa dancing. She is getting more sassy and cute with each passing day. Yikes!


Addy is good friends with Santa. They are about the same size!
