Christmas

Here are some pictures from Christmas. We spend Christmas Eve at Mel's parents house with her family and Christmas Day with Drew's Uncle. We had a wonderful time. We just missed the Nashville family.

SANTA and a present!!


I think she is sad Santa has to leave ... or really tired.

Family picture

after opening only two presents, Addie went in to the back bedroom with her new Elmo doll and ...

fell asleep! She opened the rest of her presents on Christmas morning.


And this was the only picture I took at Uncle's Jeff's house. Here is Addie and Kylie.

Shamu ... and Santa!

The Banda's and us went to Sea World breakfast with Shamu, and Santa! We saw Santa for a moment at the beginning, but were too busy chatting over breakfast we were the last ones to leave and Santa had already left! It was a fun day!!




laughing with daddy

This pic is funny! The polar bear cave "roared" and she got scared for a second!

playing sock puppets with Madi

Disneyland ... with Santa!

A few pics from Disneyland. Santa was there and Addie's favorite - ARIEL!

First hair cut!!

Addie probably didn't need it, but we took her for her first hair cut! She had a great time ... they put her in a barbie car and put Dora on for her. It lasted all of 3 minutes and she was sad when it was over. She got a lollipop and balloon after. I know she wants to go back there.





After we went to Blake's house to watch some football.

Sea World with Madi

Sarah, Ryan and I took the girls to Sea World. We had a fun day! This was a monumental trip as it was the first time the girls would actually go up to Elmo and Abby!






Making sure to get every last drop of ice cream!

Hockey Game

We went to the Kings/Predators hockey game with the family. Fortunately, or unfortunately, the Predators won.






And one of Addie and Dion enjoying the fire!

Halloween

We had a few kids (and their parents) over for Halloween. The kids all looked so cute dressed up and did a great job of trick or treating! It was fun to have the kids all together to play. Addie was SUPER excited to have friends over!! She was running around like crazy when all her friends showed up.

Another pumpkin patch

My parents took Addie for the weekend up to Santa Barbara and stayed at their friends pumpkin patch. It was another hot day and here are more pictures of Addie with red cheeks!
