Thanks to a WHOLE bunch of rain and Darons new riding lawnmower our backyard is looking really great. Too bad it just snowed today ;(
Addy and her buddy Grace at the Best Friends Christmas Party.Well I am so thankful that the Nagles and Andrews had a happy and safe Christmas. Daron and I could hardly wait for Christmas morning to see Addy open gifts. We were lucky in that a few of Santas elves dropped off a few gifts here and there early. ;)
Mimi and Papa and Aunt Sasa were able to watch Addyson open their gifts via Skype. Well at least most of them. Addy loved her new cookware - mixer and sandwich maker - along with her new oven mitts, chef hat and apron. She also got a beautiful princess hat! She traded off on the hats throughout the day. I would not be surprised if she became a chef and opened her own little cupcake shop. The real entertainment came when she received a toy dog that laughs and rolls and laughs some more. Addy has been carrying him around saying "This dog is laughing up a storm." SaSa (Lisa) sent an awesome sleeping bag and headlamp that fit in this really cute backpack. Addy LOVES backpacks. She likes to use these in the new tent tunnels and clubhouse she got from Santa.
Grammy and Grandpa sent boxes of gifts from Texas. Each one was accompanied by an iguana or turtle puppet. They are awesome and with Daron's amazing puppetry skills it has made for hours of entertainment. A real treat came when Grammy and Grandpa created an elaborate 25 minute video of Grammy talking to Addy and showing her every step that went into creating an awesome snuggle quilt. To make it even more entertaining there was a mischievous little elf that kept turning the Christmas tree lights on and off, messing up the quilting squares and yes even poking himself with the quilting pins. Needless to say the little elf hid in the tissue paper that covered the quilt as it was packed in the box! So now when anything and I mean ANYTHING is amok at our house we can blame it on the elf ;)
Addy and her best friend Isabella spend hours playing with all of the toys!
Uncle Dan and Robert hit the slopes in Colorado this holiday season! Hopefully in the future we can all join them for a few days on the slopes. Addy, Kim and I are flying to Fort Myers for a Humane Education conference and will be able to spend a few days with them in a warmer climate! Mimi and Papa will drive over from Boynton to watch Addy while I am at the conference. Yippeee!
