Merry Christmas with smiles:)

I told you she smiles and aren't they GREAAAAAAAAAAT. Isn't she just perfect? How can I not stay home with that sweet face:) This was our first Christmas with sweet Addyson and Oh boy it was great. We had such a good time on Christmas morning and we can't wait for the
years to come when she is older and can be even more involved. She was so good and so sweet and graced us with her sweet smiles. Trent's dad came into town and stayed with us. It is all about Addyson though, so we tend to forget to get pics of others right now:) Opening presents put on a whole new meaning. Even though she doesn't get most of it she still had fun.
Daddy got sweet pictures of his girls and handprints from when Addyson turned 2 months. She of course got tooooooooo many presents, but she is to cute not to spoil. We spent the afternoon at Granny Greats. We of course ate too much and opened more gifts, whoo hoo:)
We know that this time of year is not just about the presents. Most importantly it is about the birth of our precious Lord and Savior. We are so thankful for His birth and His grace in accepting us into His family. We are also so very grateful for our new, precious little girl and thankful that He has given us the desires of our hearts. Thanks to you all for sharing this journey with us. May you all know Gods presence and love in this new year.

The best present ever

Fun day at home with Mommy

I never thought that I would love this Mommy thing as much as I do. I knew it would be great, but never imagined in a million years how great. I was always the one saying " of course I am going back to work, I could never stay home full time, are you kidding me." Well was I waaaay

WRONG! I could stay home everyday for the rest of her life and LOVE every second of it. She is soooooooooooo amazing. Her smiles just melt my heart and make me smile the goofiest smiles. I just love her sooooooooooo much. I am supposed to go back to work on Jan 5th and

I am DYING at the thought of it. I love my job and the little babies and their families, but I have to say, I love my little Addyson WAY more. We are so blessed that we don't have to put her in daycare. With Grandma, Gigi, and Grammy we are covered. They all love her so much as well.
They all couldn't be happier than to take care of her. I am hoping that I can take off until Feb. I am going to put some calls in on Monday, so please be in prayer that I can stay home with our little love bug a few weeks longer. Love you all. P.S. She really does smile, just not for the camera:)

Precious in PJ's

What precious little peanuts. As I said earlier in our Thanksgiving post we had a lot of family in town for the holiday. Several of Trents family members had not seen Addyson yet, so along with them came some sweet presents. One of those presents in particular was her new Christmas
PJ's. Well her little cousin Blake had the same ones, so of course we had to have photo shoot. We drug out some of the Christmas decorations and started shooting away. I have to say that we had the most precious subjects and they were both sooooo good. Blake would say cheeeeeeese and Addyson well just sat there in all her cuteness. Blake is such a sweet little man.
We had so much fun watching him, playing with him, and listening to all his sweet 2 1/2 year old words. He loves the movie cars and we didn't miss a day of seeing it the whole 5 days he was here. I think we all can quote Lightening Macqueen verbatim. He played and played and played and is the cutest little boy. Addyson is blessed to have such a fun, sweet cousin.

Happy Thanksgiving (a little late:)

Whew, how time flies. I can't believe that it has been almost a month since I blogged anything. This baby business keeps a girl busy. I don't know how my friend Jen does it with twins. She rocks:) Well Addyson had her first Thanksgiving this year and tons of visitors to go with it. We decided to have the meal at our house this year and boy were we busting at the seems. We had such a great time though. Alot of Trents family came into town from west Texas.
lots of cousins and his brother Torey and his wife Karen and their son Blake came from Houston. We all had such a wonderful time together celebrating what we are most thankful for this year, Addyson. A lot of my fam was sick, but my precious stepdad and wonderful cousins and uncle were able to make it and joined in the fun. We pray you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving as well:)
