Well Christmas has come and gone but the memories are still fresh in my mind... and that is a good thing considering it is January 10th and I am posting about our Christmas. For the first time in 17 years, Tennessee woke up to a white Christmas. It was the cherry on top of a great season of fun.
Addie looking out the window at her 1st white Christmas.
Since the last Christmas post we had to do the Christmas card picture.This has to be the hardest activity to do with small children. Kyle and I wear literally sweating. Trying to get Addie to look and smile at the camera and Drew to stay in the frame is not a simple task but the end product is always worth the sweat, tears, screams, and giggles.
This year we were not the cookie factory of last year.
I think having a nine month old crawling around and trying to watch the sweets helped. We still had a blast rolling out the cookies and sharing them with the ladies at the court house, Addie's friends, and family.
The messier the kitchen the better the fun:)
We also had a great time with old friends at the annual dirty Christmas party. We played dirty with looks being shot across the room, scheming plans being made, and begging for the perfect gift. This time Shelley was the gracious host and open her home to us....
and all of these yahoos.
You know there are a lot of children when a babysitter is hired.
Another special day this holiday season was my nephew Hayden's christening.
Christmas Cousins
Well at least the adults are looking good...
The present marathon begins...
Christmas with Nene, Poppy, Clint, and Kristen...
This is how Addie opens presents.
She rips the paper off, looks at the present, and stacks it.
Drew's Christmas past time...
eating wrapping paper.
Out of all of the gifts, Addie's fave were her Dora pjs.
She opened them and stripped down right there to put them on.
Addie's mad face when she opens up Ariel's dress but doesn't have an Ariel to dress.
It was the next gift so all is well.
Drew having fun with Uncle Clint's hat.
Christmas with Nanny...
Maggie, Morgan, and Claudia.
Christmas @ Ma's...
Addie helping Kaitlyn and Vickie pass out presents.
Sweet Ma with her Wendy's cards.
Back at our home... Home, Sweet, Home.
As Addie puts it,
"He Came!!! He Really Did Come!!!!"
The cookies have been nibbled on...
Checking out the christmas morning snow...
The prized pillow pet= one happy girl.
Checking out all of the newest toys for our collection..
The princess line up.
Waking up the sleepy head Drew. Addie could not wait to get him so he could see his pillow pet.
What I love about this pic is that this toy has been out for about two months and it was Addie's 1st Christmas present and this is what Drew decided to play with on Christmas morning!
And the obsolete VHS player:)
LiLi and Papa came for Christmas breakfast...
Addie loving her rolling backpack...
Drew was out by 11am...
So that left Addie to open LiLi and Papa's presents.
All I have to say is sorry for the amount of pics but as usual I could not pic just a few.
