Laying Down

I have been working on getting Addison to follow certain commands. So far she sits on her bottom which is great, she helps turn of lights with Mommy's help of course and now she will lay down on the floor so I can change her diaper. She will run off when it is time to change her diaper. She hates this for some reason, but it is helping that she thinks it is a game to lay down when Mommy says to lay down. She smiles so big and gets all happy when she does it.

Tonight we discovered she loves mini M&Ms! That is right, the person who said they would not give their child any of that stuff gave her child a couple M&Ms. All I can say is NEVER say NEVER and NEVER judge other parents on their parenting because you NEVER know what you would do in that situation.

Gift Wrap, Smiles, and Hugs

Paul is having fun wrapping some of my Christmas presents in random wrapping paper! At least I will know which ones are mine! The ones with footballs and happy birthday all over them! Too funny! He keeps me laughing and boy laughing sure is important!

Cheesin' real big!

Sweetness.

Givin' the Baby Juice

Cute face...

Everything is juice that is in a cup. Here she is giving her baby juice! She loves baby dolls.

New Nikes

These are her first Nike's. Santa was going to bring them to her, but Mommy decided she needed them sooner since Christmas is a few weeks away and her foot grows SO fast! :) Doesn't she look so cute in tennis shoes?!

Christmas Tree

We have been so excited to see how Addison reacts this year to festivities of Christmas! So far she loves it all!

She was all into the tubs of decorations checking out everything.

First ornament with Mommy...her hand print from last year...oh, so small....

....Next ornament with Daddy...other hand print.

The star!

I will have to take a pic of the final product...eventually!

Practice, Practice....

I am teaching her to sit on her potty, so far she thinks it is a game and it's fun!

Thanksgiving Day 2009

I almost forgot to get a photo of all us!

Play, Eat, Play

The girls had tore apart Alexis's room in no time! Toys were everywhere!

Addison got to enjoy her first T-day meal. She loved the ham, turkey, pumpkin pie, and corn casserole.

Oh, buttons and music, what is that?!?!

Sharing Thanksgiving Love

For Thanksgiving the Rase's invited over to their home for dinner with some of their family and other friends. We had a wonderful time and a delicious dinner! How blessed we are to have wonderful friends around us!

Alexis just woke up from her nap and found her little friend was over and had to give her hugs! I am telling you these girls are just so darn cute!

Kisses....

...more kisses!

Beautiful!
