Happy 2nd Birthday

I can't believe our little girl is turning 2! She is no longer a baby, but is now a big girl toddler. We had a party at our house and it was such a wonderful day. We got lucky again with nice weather!! Thanks to everyone for making Addie's second birthday so special. We missed those of you that couldn't come to the party, but know you were there in spirit.

The theme of the party was Ariel, from Little Mermaid. That is Addie's favorite movie and she loves to sing along with Ariel when she watches it.

Disneyland and Club 33

For my mom's anniversary at work, we were so lucky to be able to go to Disneyland for the day then on to Club 33 for dinner!! It was a fun day, but we always have fun with Mickey and Friends!

Bye bye crib ... hello big girl bed!

Addie got a big girl bed over the holiday's. After her first night sleeping in it, we figured it was time to get rid of the crib. Addie enjoyed helping her dad take her crib apart.


such concentration!

Uh oh! Power tools!

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.

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!!
