Christmas Morning

Crying Doll

Christmas 3x

Addison first celebrated Christmas with a trip to Palisade to see Grandma Nancy and her Aunts and Uncle. She also celebrated her early birthday that weekend too.

The same weekend we traveled back on Sunday to have Christmas with Grandma Nancy in Peru, Aunt and Uncle and Cousins. She also got this cute outfit from our friends Aaron & Morgan.

We celebrated Christmas day at the house that morning where Addison got a few more gifts and some surprises from Santa. She certainly got the unwrapping part down!

Let It Snow and Snow and Snow

So this was before the big snow. In the spot she's standing now their is a drift higher than her head.

After the snow: I don't think we'll be opening this door for awhile! We did manage to dig a path to get out the other door though. I think my wish for snow on Christmas came early and I think this will be around for awhile!

Santa Visit

So Addison has been saying Santa and Ho, Ho, Ho so I thought for sure she would sit on his lap but we were not so lucky. She did, however, give him "five."

Baby #2

As many of you know we are expecting Baby #2 June 15!

October 14 I found out I was pregnant, or officially anyway. Early on I was having some trouble so went in earlier than my first appointment but everything turned out to be okay as far as they could tell but told me there wasn't much that they could do early on and if I miscarried there wouldn't be much explanation. The following week I began to get very sick, all day long, no appetite for food and too nauseous to look at a computer screen which led me to taking nearly all my sick time from work in October and early November.

My first appointment was on November 18th. I was feeling much better at this point but anxious to hear a heartbeat to know things were okay. They were having trouble finding the heartbeat so we went ahead and did an ultrasound to make sure things were okay and thankfully they were. They told me I was 10 weeks along.

Now at 13 weeks I'm feeling much better except I really have a hard time with foods, nothing seems appetizing. I am hungry but nothing tastes good, which is very frustrating! Of course, everyone keeps saying we're having a boy because of how the pregnancy has gone so far but we'll see. If so, I know Scottie would be very excited. I'm a little nervous, however, a boy would certainly change things!

Thanksgiving

We traveled home to Palisade and had Thanksgiving at Counsin Missy's. Addison had a great time playing with the boys and giving Abby tons of hugs and assisting with the pacifier of course.

I was a little worried how she might react to me holding Abby but she was so sweet with her and just wanted to be the little helper.

Luke and Addison were getting ready to stack baby food jars and before leaving she gave Jacob a bye-bye kiss.

Scottie and Matthew were the "rough-housin buddies."
All in all we had a good time back home. It's always nice seeing family. Addison had a wonderful time and was an excellent traveler this trip!
