Merrrry Kissmas. Evy Bahddy!

We had a wonderful Christmas celebrating with Yaya, Poppy, Douggo and Alli in New Jersey!

Addie was very excited about all things Christmas--Trees, lights, Santa.

Yaya has a tradition where all the "kids" put their own ornament on the tree. Here's Addie putting hers on the tree


Daddy's turn

Mommy's turn

Time to hang the stocking! By the way...

Two years ago she fit inside of the same stocking ;)

Reading Christmas books before bed


Getting the cookies ready to put out for Santa

Addie and Hiccup carefully placing the cookies next to the milk

Fast forward to...5:45am...Addie wakes up and as a courtesy to Yaya and Poppy, Steve and I kept her busy looking and stocking stuffers till 7!

Not a great pic, but you can see how big her smile is behind the pen!

Reading books and eating a lollipop (yes, we gave her a lollipop at 6am...how else do you keep a kid in one room for over an hour on christmas morning!)

Presents! Addie wanted to play with each one before moving on to the next one.




I love this action shot of opening the "beeeeeg present"


Check out all that loot!


Cuddles all around.

Post-christmas "resting" :)
Being goofy with Daddy (like always!)


And reading one of MANY books she got for Christmas with Uncle Douggo and Aunt Alli


Addie's favorite toy of Christmas--a Little People amusement park...she must have pushed the little girl (aptly named "Addie") down the slide 300 times this weekend.

Christmas dinner--Addie is directing us all, as always


Family pic!

And what trip up the coast is complete without a stop by at the McGee house?

Addie and Shannon had a blast playing with playdoh and stampers...

and doing puzzles...
Checking out Shannon's big girl bed


...yeah, it's that comfortable :)

And playing in the race car with Baby Kelly

When we got home, there was a lot to clean up...thankfully Addie is a big help!


Happy Holidays and a Happy New Years to everyone!
