Xmas Tree Box

We had to take down our Christmas stuff a little earlier than we normally do because we are having our tile in our whole house redone which equals HUGE DUSTY MESS! So we went ahead and took down all the Christmas stuff. Addison had so much fun in the Christmas tree box I had to snap a few pics!

Jibber Jabber

As I was cleaning the kitchen she was hanging out on the floor just talking up a storm, now what she was saying I am not quite sure!

Christmas Dog Bones

My mom got me some cookie cutters and one of them was a little dog bone perfect size for Addison's little hands so I thought it would be cute to make the dogs some homemade bones for Christmas. Addison had so much fun as you can tell! She is quite the cookie cutter!

16 Months Old

This post is a little behind! But our baby girl turned 16 months old on the 21st and boy she sure is growing up right in front of our eyes. She constantly has new words. A few off the top of my head... puppy, done, bites,bubble bath, doggy....there are lots that I am sure that I am missing. She loves to check out EVERYTHING still! We just love her so much!

Relaxing

Opening her gifts from MeMa. She has gotten quite good at opening gifts I have to say!

Relaxin'!

Happy girl

She loves her wagon. I can't wait until it is warm enough to take her out in it.

Loving her cash register from Baby Alexis.

She knows if you touch its belly it will do something. Alley is even interested!

Toys, toys, toys

Paul makes monkey or gorilla bread on Christmas morning...this year he made gorilla bread. So sticky and yummy!

White Christmas

When we woke up Christmas morning this is what we saw outside and it was still snowing BIG flurries most of the day. Unfortunately we didn't have any accumulation,but it sure made it Christmasy!

Playing with her kitchen for the first time. Somehow she knew exactly what to do.

I hope this helps Paul keep up with his keys..it is a key finder!

She loves to tear the paper into little pieces!

Santa's Elves and Santa's Cookies

So just like last year Santa's elves brought Addison Christmas pajamas at the front door.

Who was the cookie monster who stole Santa's cookies?!?!?!?!?

The Rase's on Christmas Eve

Christmas kisses! :)

Love these girls!

Tammy and Will....Will is trying 'not' to smile...

Addison, Paul and Christin...it is funny because there are actually four of us in this picture but you can only see three! :)

Making Santa Cookies

So we make Santa cookies on Christmas eve and this year we did chocolate chips and Addison got to help. Such a good helper!

So serious....she did a good job.

Daddy had to give her a little treat for all of her hard work.

Thank You

Oooooh, what is this....she likes to shred the paper!

A Christmas book from Grandmom! Somehow she knew to slide the cards in and out and move the wheel. She is so smart!

As soon as she saw that this was a laptop she opened it up and started pushing buttons! Thanks Aunt Cindy! She loves it.

Another book from Grandmom and this one has a magical wand! How fun! Thanks Grandmom for all the gifts.

I wanted to post all the pics, but of course had to just select a few pics of her opening some gifts, but of course I could not post them all. My blog is already long! If I had more time I wanted to do a slide show, but however this works too. One thing is for sure, our little girl is loved and thought of by many and got very spoiled this year! Thanks to everyone!
