Christmas 2009

Here are some shots from Christmas. Sorry they are out of order.


Someone enjoys playing in her play tents. This was taken over the weekend.

This is of her first entrance into her play set, Christmas morning. I thought she would be afraid, but wasn't.

Family Photo- Christmas morning 2009


Whoa- Look what Santa brought!! She was very excited and loves the animals on the side.


The tree before Addi got out of bed.


Addi's gift from Santa.



We made cookies and she had lots of fun putting sprinkles on them. She also enjoyed eating them, too.


Look at me, I'm a big girl!

We got everything on video and forgot to take many still shots... I'm kind of disappointed, but atleast it's on video. :-)
Addi is doing so much now. She cracks me up when she takes her clothes off! This weekend she took her diaper off and put it in the trash! I saw her naked and asked where her diaper was and she took me to the trash to take it out!! Last night she was putting her cowboy boots on with her pj's. She would get one on and balance on the foot with the boot on to put the other on! Her balance is amazing! The second time even got them on the correct feet!
On a different note- I am going to try to be more organized for 2010. I am going to make a family notebook with our monthly menu's, freezer inventory, a family master calendar, my household chore list/schedule, farm chore list, and a section for Addi with crafts and stuff. I am thinking of adding a holiday & vacation section. If you have any suggestions , feel free to let me know. I am hoping by scheduling my chores, it will give me more free time on the weekends with my family.
Happy New Year!!

Thanksgiving & More

Halloween 2009- Addi made quite a pretty ladybug!
I bought 3 costumes after halloween, when they were 75% off. She likes the supergirl!! I can't believe that she already enjoys dressing up! We should have pictures of Addi -the bat girl soon.

Addi's new hat... I think it will keep her ears very warm this winter.


We decorated for Christmas the weekend after Thanksgiving. Here is our mantel. We also put lights up in the yard. I bought wreaths & sprays for the house at Hobby Lobby on black friday- the entire store was 50% off!!! I think it will be for the entire month of Dec.! I got garland for the mantel & stairs.... for $4 ea! I'll try to get pics up.


Addi liked putting decorations on the tree. She just couldn't figure out how to hook them on the limbs... So most ornaments are just laying on the tree limbs! :-) I only put 4 breakable ornaments up high. I purchased shatterproof ornaments (again on black friday @ wal-mart- the ones you see on the mantel).


Mama- don't hats go on your head??





Thanksgiving
I made a beautiful & yummy peanut butter pie for daddy this year!


I also made the most beautiful pecan pie ever this year!!


Thanksgiving day 2009
We have had such a busy fall! Addi is growing so quickly! I am very excited about Christmas this year and all of the family traditions we can start.
