I know... but better late than never right???? I just refuse to give up the blog even though I cannot stay up to date.
We went to see the lights at Opryland with Ninnie, Poppy, Clint, Kristen, Tripp, and our best friend Aubree. We looked at the trees, went for a ride in the boat, and ran around way too much. We were very happy to kick off the Christmas Season!
Addie's dance class performed one weekend at a Christmas Festival. She was so cute and loved giving us a present... a ballerina picture of herself.
Does this face say "I love Christmas!" or what???
Gingerbread house night. The day my class makes Gingerbread Houses at school, we use the leftover icing and create our own little village for our home. Drew really did enjoy creating his house this year. He was covered in icing. Addie is just a little professional house decorator by this point.
Christmas Card Photoshoot 2012
What is fun?
Trying to get your children to look at a camera when you have a Christmas Card to create. When you say... smile at the camera... no not that smile... don't hit the tree... stop playing with the ornaments... do we have Allie... and about a million more in the total of 20 minutes of trying to get a couple of pictures to send family and friends.
I think we have a winner!
The year of the gymnast!
Addie's gymnastics class had their winter exhibition.
She is so cute in her uniform and is so proud to "show what her body can do" ~ her words not mine.
Addie's crew for her Christmas party.
It is such a blessing to have great family to step in when I cannot make the big days at school.
The Sanders/Primm/Illyes families came together for some food, presents, and fun at our home.
Kyle made a super yummy brunch for us.
The kiddie table
Addie 5 years old and the kid in charge
Drew 2 years old and the life of the party
Hayden the only one that will actually eat.
This year Drew "gets" opening up presents and loved to pile them on top of him.
He would say, "What is happening to me?" from under his pile.
Addie loved Molly's new winter outfit from Aunt Kellie and Uncle Jason
Poppa loved his photo book... as always!
What a crew...
Off to Lexington we went for Christmas with the Sanders/Woods Crew. Poppy had a breakfast for dinner meal to welcome us. Addie and Drew ate about 10 pancakes between the both of them and could not wait to open presents. We had fun celebrating Tripp's first Christmas and stayed up till midnight opening presents, playing, and laughing with one another.
Nothing like Mr. Bear photo bombing Tripp's picture.
Addie searching for one.more.gift.
The kids at Nanny's house... I think Drew is out numbered.
Back home in time to set cookies out for Santa and get in bed for the big day.
LiLi and Poppa stopping by to see us on Christmas Morning... Drew was still in bed.
Fun times with our new dream lights.
We hope you had a great Christmas and did not have to walk the plank.
Merry Christmas to all!
