I love Christmas presents!

We have been wrapping presents and getting ready for Christmas. Addison loves her knew stocking and loves presents especially the wrapping paper. Her favorite thing to do is eat the presents. The last 3 weeks she is really starting to move. Yesterday she took four steps on her own. At her nine month appointment the doctor said she may just be running by Christmas. I can't believe that! Here are a few pictures from our present wrapping days and of course Christmas p.j.'s to set the mood.

Christmas Tree Shopping

The day after Thanksgiving we went to cut down our Christmas tree! It was a beautiful day and we found just the perfect tree we thought! Of course we picked out one that was 10 1/2 feet tall and had a crooked top half:) We did though have a great time cutting it down. Here are some pictures from our adventure! I am not so sure that Addison loved it though:)
So the remainder of the story is that we got the tree home and decorated it and as the night progressed I thought I saw the tree move but my dear hubby said no way. And then we heard a loud crash at 4:30 in the morning! I swore that some one was breaking in the house but no it was the christmas tree that crashed to the ground. Only 6 of the ornaments were broken which was a miracle. The moral of the story is make sure that you have a stand that is big enough for your tree! But none the less a story that will be remembered forever!

Thanksgiving!

I beginning to see a pattern with this blog.... I am always behind! Well I guess behind is better than never posting! I promise though to never be more than a month behind! We had a wonderful thanksgiving and we able to spend time with both sets of families. We are so very thankful this thanksgiving for many things but of course the one that is neasest and dearest to our hearts is ............I can't take any credit for the adorable outfit. One of my students at school mom's made it for her and I am sure that Addison loved it. She wore it everyday of the weekend because by next year it won't fit. We were also able to get some pictures of the poinsttias that my dad grows which are beautiful.
