Addie's First Christmas

Get ready to be bombarded with the pics of Addie's first Christmas. :) It was definitely a packed Christmas, but we're really quite blessed to be so loved.

These probably look familiar to most -- they're the ones from our Christmas card.


Here are a couple more we took during the same photo session. She decided she wanted to eat an ornament.
This was the last pic -- I think that face says "I'm done".

Festivities of the week started on Tuesday with a day-long visiting marathon. We first went to Emmett and had lunch with Dawn, Becky, Cameron, Tucker, and MaryAnne. Then we visited Grandma Judy at work, and headed back into town. We stopped by Linda's in Nampa and visited for a bit, then on over to Meridian to visit Great Grandma Dean. The roads weren't the best that day, but we made it all over the valley! :) Then on Wednesday, Christmas Eve, we went to Grandma Judy's for dinner.

Here she is on Christmas Eve at Grandma's, eating a roll.
Hmm, not sure much made it in her mouth.
Her and Dresdyn. I think she may have wanted to tackle her.
Mom helping her open presents.
One of multiple cute clothing items.
Her favorite gift -- the sticker from a pair of pants. Oh what fun!
Modeling my new hat.
Dancin' with the snowman.

Christmas day started at home, to see what Santa brought us.

Here are Addie's goodies I received during the toy swap I did with my Valley Bums group. These were her stocking stuffers.
Christmas morning.
This is Cherry Blossom -- made by Erika, and one of Addie's favorite presents.
And this is the adorable strawberry doll made by Hailey (I think) that Bailey has already destroyed.

K, I'm ready for more!
Think someone was tired?
Hmm, what's in here?
A car! (That Bailey has also chewed up)
Books from Great Grandma.

Cute outfit from Linda.

After cleaning up, we headed out to Montour to see the Gatfield family. We were worried about the roads, but they were actually clear most of the way (the worst part was in Montour). We opened presents at Pappy's and then headed down to Great Grandma Lola's for lunch. With a packed day, we headed out that afternoon, back to Boise to Grandpa Rick's. We had delicious split pea soup and Addie got to open the biggest gift yet -- a highchair. We headed home that night, tired from the busy day -- but we weren't done yet! We went to Nampa to see Grandma Robin and Grandpa Hutch on Friday. I did a poort job (obviously) of taking pictures everywhere, but we have the memories and overload of gifts to mark the occasion. :) We all got spoiled, as usual, and enjoyed spending the time with our wonderful families.
