Alyssa

Please pray for Alyssa. She is having surgery tomorrow. She has a growth on her eyebrow and while she is under, they are going to put tubes in her ears. She has had earaches for a couple of months now and nothing is helping. We are all very nervous, but know that she is in God's hands. I will let everyone know how she is doing after the surgery. Thanks for your prayers.

Painting Fun!

For my Grandma's birthday, we had Addison and Alyssa finger paint her a picture. We framed it and put some of the pictures we took of them painting around it. She really loved it and they had a blast!

Heel, Toe, Heel, Toe!

Addison has started dance! I have been so excited at the thought of her being able to start when she turned 2! She is still adjusting and it takes her about half of the class to warm up. She eventually starts to participate and it is so cute. It is a mommy and me class, so I am able to stay in there with her. She walks around the rest of the week saying "Heel, toe, heel toe" and doing her curtsy. It is adorable! She will have a recital in April and her costume comes with a matching baby doll. How cute is that?

Circus Fun

We took Addison to the Circus this year. She had bronchitius, but she still had a blast! We let her choose a snow cone and of course she choose the $12 horse cup, but we all enjoyed it. The circus was so much fun. She loved the tigers, zebras and elephants!

Addison's Birthday!

Ok, so I know I haven't updated my blog in a very long time. Sorry, but I have been super busy lately, with my birthday, Addison's birthday, Autumn's baby shower and so much more! My birthday was January 6 and Addison's was January 8th! They were great! We had Addison's birthday party at Jump Zone and she had a blast. We had is on a Friday night which was perfect. We had the rest of the weekend to settle down. Also, Jump Zone doesn't have open play times on Friday nights and there were no other parties scheduled, so we had the whole place to ourselves. It was great! Here are some pics from her party.

We took Addison to Build A Bear on her birthday. She enjoyed it but really wasn't into picking out a bunch of stuff, so she just got a plain bear. He is cute though and she likes him.

Here is her birthday party at school!

Christmas!

Addison is so excited about Christmas this year. She is all into the lights, Santa, and Christmas trees. Every time we go upstairs, she tells our tree "Bye" and "Be right back." Every time we pass by Christmas lights she yells "Tismiss Bights!" When we turn our Santa and Reindeer lights on outside, she gets so excited. This year is completely different from last. It is so exciting! She keeps telling me that "Santa coming." We went to pick out our tree the other day. She loved walking through all the trees and hugging them. When Brenn brought the tree inside, she squealed so loud. She got bored with putting on the decorations and just started sticking them in the middle of the tree. Mom had to go back later and fix them. It was so much fun! I can't wait for Santa. Having a child really puts the excitement back in Christmas!

Alyssa and the balloon

My dad decided to show us how static works using a balloon and Alyssa's head! She didn't mind thoough! It made for some really cute pics! Alyssa is 8 months old now and crawling everywhere. She is getting into everything imaginable and loves her cousin. Addison still wants to kiss her all the time, but now Alyssa grabs her hair. She is so cute and makes the funniest faces and sounds.
