Christmas Lights, Finally!

Our friends are here from Houston. YAY!!! So we finally went out and participated in a Christmas activity. We went to see the beautiful lights at Rhema. Let me tell you I thought it would be much less busy since Christmas had come and gone, but I guess there were others that had not completed all of their Christmas activities either. It was pretty crowded.

My little flower

I was looking through all my posts and found this one still in draft. Well I thought it was too cute not to post so here you go.

I did a "flower" photo shoot with Addy the other day to gear up for her flower garden 2nd birthday party. Two, oh my goodness! She did a pretty good job, but looking at the camera AND smiling is not something she has mastered yet. (Actually I think she knows how to do it, just is showing me who is boss;)) Instead, I was running around the front yard working for these shots. I am sure the neighbors got a kick out of the sight.

This one cracks me up. She looks like a crazy lady!

Christmas Recap

Well the month of December has been a rough one for our family. Like I said earlier, I was out of town and have had morning all day sickness from this new little sweet pea. Then to top all off we all got sick the week before Christmas. So needless to say we basically cut everything extra and fun out this year and were more on survival mode. We would wrap presents the hour before we would leave for a family function, and had to just buy stuff from the store instead of making any homemade goodies to eat. It really took the fun out of the season. I didn't feel like I could be super fun and cheery, because I was just trying not to puke or get over stupid strep. Needless to say we did get to spend precious time with all of our families, which was so valuable and one of the most important parts of Christmas. So here are our six, yes six, Christmas celebrations all in pictures. Yay I actually finished this in 2011!!!

OMG! I have the cutest niece.

Every family has an obstacle course at Christmas, right?

An amazing Webster tradition we all sing carols and the grandkids read the Christmas story.

Abby had a monkey costume for Addy to try out. She thought it was funny.

  

Josh, fiercely trying to win a game.

Addy LOVES heels and princess dresses.

O Christmas Tree

One holiday thing I have actually managed to perform this year is putting up the Christmas Tree. Addison was much more involved this year.

She really liked this one branch. She put three ornaments on the same branch.

Quick Thanksgiving Recap

This year for Thanksgiving we had Tim's dad with us for the week. Poor guy I pretty much was a sucky host and laid around most of the time. Luckily he is good at fending for himself and he was so helpful. Every year when we go to Indiana to visit all of Tim's Dad's side of the family the trip is never complete without a crablegs dinner. So the night before Thanksgiving we had a crableg feast!

I really wasn't feeling well so the pictures of Thanksgiving are lacking. I did capture a couple though.

After we ate with my Mom's side we went over to my Dad's to watch Dallas play. To tell you the truth I don't even know if they won or not. We also used Thanksgiving as the time to tell our families that we were adding to our family. Addison wore a Big Sister shirt. It was a fun way to reveal the news.
