Addison's 1st Birthday/Pajama Party

I can't believe that our little angel is now 1! We served breakfast for lunch with a Waffle bar and all the fixings. The cake was an amazing creation of strawberry cake and pancakes. We asked everyone to wear their PJ's and almost everyone did. Even Addison's Great Grandpa wore his PJ's...Larry bought Addison such a special gift that I had to mention it. He got her "add an inch" pearl necklace with the intention that he would add to it for special gifts. He is hoping that she will wear it to special moments in her life and hopefully her wedding day..Awwwww....


We had such an amazing party and Larry and I can't express how lucky we all are to have such amazing family and friends there to celebrate Addison's 1st birthday. It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about all the people that came for this special little girl. One day Addison will look back and realize how much she is loved by everyone.

Addison's 1st Christmas

Merry Christmas 2011...... This was the best Christmas ever!! No gift would top the joy she has brought into our lives. We began our morning here at home with our gifts and some fun with toys, then we packed up and went to my parents for breakfast and more gifts... After my parents we went and spent the rest of the day at Larry's Parents and you guessed it; more gifts. We enjoyed spending all the time with family. After we left Larry's parents we had our friends over for a fun evening. Here are some shots...

This is a smile you get when you say to smile... How funny!

Christmas Eve at Great Grandma and Grandpa's

  

As usual we spend every Christmas Eve at my Grandparents house and then the entire family(minus Grant because he already went to the Bowl game) goes to their church. This year was extra special not only because of  Addison, but also that my Grandpa made it through another year, and what a year it was.  We all enjoyed some great food, then came present time.. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for another amazing year together.

Addison getting all the attention....

Fun with Tiff

All the Kids( Grandma Kids) went together and got Grandma and Grandpa a new 42" Flat Screen... And they had no idea!

WOW!!! Look at them... in shock...

Seriously look at those smiles. Grandpa was so excited... He never smiles this big..



Then another surprise for Grandma



A Ring! Grandpa has not always gone out to buy Grandma gifts for Christmas. Quite frankly it has been at least 10 years. So, he decided because Grandma has been so wonderful taking care of him this year, he would surprise her with a gift that he got all on his own. He got online and picked out something he thought that she would love and had it delivered to my mom and dads so she wouldn't find it. How sweet!!!

Look at that!!! He was so proud of it too

Christmas at Bass Pro Shop

This year we spent some quality family time at Bass Pro Shop for some Holiday Fun. Tiffany, Bryan, Brittney, Bill, Kaidyn, and Keegan joined us as well. We decorated cookies, rode the carousal, and looked at Santa. Both Addison and Kaidyn aren't too fond of the big guy.

She really didn't know what to think.
