Christmas No. 3

Today we celebrated Christmas with the Rogness'! I believe that there was about 36 of us! Everything was great - the people, the food, and the gift exchange! Even Addison did really well! Addison went with pigtails in her hair, but they didn't last long! The 'little' cousins had their own gift exchange! Addison is not pictured because she was napping at that time. I didn't take any more pictures than this because I was busy taking part in the adult gift exchange game and then I was consumed in a sad game of Phase Ten!

-------------------

These pictures have nothing to do with Christmas, but I can't believe how big and tall she looks when she stands up in her baby einstein saucer!

Christmas No. 2

The Saturday before Christmas we headed off to Mike's parent's home in Iowa! It's usually a 9 hour drive, but it took us a little longer to get there due to poor weather! Mike's sister & her family came from PA - this was the first time they met Addison! It was also Mike's brother's first time seeing Addison! This was Addie's first road trip and she did fairly well! Her first big road trip! Playing with cousin Shauna!

Sitting with Grandma Addie & her cousin Sheridan in their blanket sleepers! Playing with Grandpa Addison with Grandpa & Grandma!

Christmas No. 1

We celebrated Christmas with my family a week early since we would be going to Iowa for the actual holiday time. Addison and her cousins! She enjoyed the ribbons & bows on her presents! The kids with their stockings! Our family! Addison with Grandpa & Grandma! Looking at the neat Nativity book aunt Shawnie made!

Sporty

I just had to take pictures of Addie in the "sporty" outfit she wore earlier this week! Yesterday & today Addie has been dealing with a cold! She isn't quite as smiling today! Hopefully it won't last long! This picture is sort of an action shot!

Stretch!!!!

Cute Kicks!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA!!

Our Family Christmas Tree

Before the rush of the Christmas season I wanted to make sure I had some pictures of Addison by our family's Christmas tree! She enjoyed the shiny ornaments and the bows on the presents!

By the end of the photo shoot the red bow on the present in front of her was off!

At that age

She is at that age when everything goes into the mouth - everything except her cereal that is!

Big noise from a little girl!

Cereal

First time trying cereal! She thought it was alright.

New Stuff

This silly girl likes to just hang out at home in her diaper! Addison is figuring out her new toy saucer that she got from G&G Rusch! Her new trick is to sit up in her swing. She'll be laying back in it one minute and next thing you know she up! Strong abs on this little girl! All that swinging makes a girl tired!

Addison's Trip to Interstate

This morning Mike brought Addison out to Interstate to visit me & a 'Special Guest' that we had at the store! It started to snow this morning so Addison showed up in her snow suit! The 'Special Guest' was Santa! He was there to take pictures with kids! Grandpa was also there! Then she hung out with Ryan! Tested out some of the John Deere Lawn Mowers! Showed Daddy the cool John Deere XUV Gator! Gave Mommy a driving lesson!
