The Christmas Tree Hunt

We bundled up and headed out as a family to find the perfect Christmas tree. It is going to be a fun family tradition to select and cut down our own tree. Half the fun of having your own family is starting your own traditions. And this definitely will be one of ours.
Our tree was perfect. Short and plump. We love it!
One of the cutest things about the tree is how Addison lights up every time it is turned on. She has been pretty good about the ornaments as well. For the first few days she found great enjoyment in pulling of the ornaments that jingle and shine (I though ahead and put the unbreakable ones at the bottom). But, that quickly faded and now she just enjoys looking at it. We'll see how that changes next year!

Scarey, scarey Santa!!

We took Addison to a "Breakfast with Santa". From the look of these photos I think that she would prefer if the breakfast was MINUS Santa!
Curtis and I thought for sure that she would be ok with the jolly old soul. She will go to anyone and doesn't seem to be sacred of beards. For some reason Santa just creeped her right out!! Oh well, it makes for great photos to embarrass her with when she is older. Isn't that what being a parent is all about!?!?

Christmas Photo Fun

Addison and her best friend Ceilidh (pronounced Kaylie) got together for a fun photo shoot a couple of weeks ago. We dressed the girls, up and down, to get some cute shots. Addison was full of smiles while Ceilidh explored her serious side. We also had an interesting time getting them to stay in one spot long enough to take a picture. These are two busy munchkins!! The resulting pictures were very cute. Here are a few of them. You will also see some in the upcoming Christmas cards, which I hope you will get before Christmas!

We're back!!

Wow!! It has been ages since I have blogged!! We have been out of commission for a while but we're back! Now where to being...I guess all the way to Halloween!! Here it goes...
Addison was a pumpkin for Halloween. And I do have to say that she was the cutest pumpkin that I have ever seen!!
