Hoho coming?

Did Ho-ho really come? Is this finally the day!!!??

Sprinting for the presents :)

Some of the favorite presents....

For 25 days, Addy's first words when she awoke in the morning were "Ho-ho coming?" Even though Addy was terrified of the big man in the red suit, she was very anxious to see what he would bring. And boy did he deliver! haha. Addy was so lucky to receive so many wonderful presents and thanked everyone for each gift. She seriously has the best manners I've ever seen. Addy enjoyed Christmas in Dublin with Kesha and JJ, Christmas Eve with her Mimi & Boppa, Nana & Papa, Aunt Kristen, Uncle Chris, and Avery... and Avery's other grandparents too. She also got to spend some time with her Grammy and Gramp. On Christmas Day, she awoke to see that Ho-ho had finally arrived! Her face says it all. :) She enjoyed spending Christmas day with both the Schubert family and Finney family. Miss Addy is one lucky girl!
She still wakes up asking if Ho-ho is coming, so these next 360 days may be a little rough. haha

Christmas "Cooking"

Our little chef enjoyed helping with the baking this holiday season. Buckeyes with Mommy and Reindeer cookies with Nana. :)

Then and Now

We took Addy to see GG this weekend and boy did she have a blast. Addy and Avery loved all the Christmas decorations, playing with GG's walker, eating delicious cookies from Santa, and playing the piano while GG sang Christmas carols. Aren't holidays the best!?!

Picture with Santa!

This was our second attempt at a picture with Santa. Apparently 2 year olds do NOT love the man who brings them all their presents. haha. We got a pic this time though, I had to be in it but oh well. Addy held on to me for dear life, but managed to tell Santa she wanted, "Elmo please". And after he gave her her bells, she told him Thank you. Pretty sure she made it on the "Good List". :) Let's hope next year is a little easier

Addy's Got the Moves

Whip My Hair-- Addy style

Preparing for the Holidays

We put up the tree over the weekend and Addy was an amazing help. She helped Daddy put up the star, put up ornaments, and stood in awe looking up at the tree when it was finished... the word "Pretty" was all she had to say! :) We're all ready for Santa!

Addy had a fantastic Thanksgiving this year. So much to be thankful for... friends, family, turkey legs, and her new favorite hobby- painting! Future Picasso? She had a great Thanksgiving playing with her cousins- Jude and Charlotte at Aunt Marjie's this year. We are so thankful to have such a wonderful little girl!

Addy's new favorite hobby is painting... she has painted something everyday for the past week! haha
