Christmas...Parts 1-4

Warning: The following post is picture-heavy! I could've easily filled 2 or 3 posts with Christmas happenings, but decided to lump it all together. As usual, our Christmas this year was a series of events rather than just one day. I wonder if it will ever be just one day?!? We made all the rounds with the exception of my mom. We are visiting her next weekend. Our Christmas started at home on Christmas Eve day...continued in Caney on Christmas and the following weekend...and finished out at my dad's house on New Year's. It was a busy, fun, people-packed, food-eating, kids everywhere good time. Below are a sampling of the insane number of pictures we took. I acknowledge upfront that they are unevenly divided among each place...that was definitely unintentional. We became more photo-happy as the holiday progressed! Enjoy!

Addison in her Christmas dress in front of our Christmas tree at home.

Opening the Cabbage Patch doll Grammy and Papa Steve sent on Christmas Eve morning.


The new doll bed being used as a couch. Addison was very excited about her doll bed.
When she saw it, she said "night night" and tried to lay down in it herself!
Playing with Matt in her Christmas jammies at the Morris'

Decorating (read: eating all the candy that's supposed to go on) gingerbread men. Aunt Ali was brave enough to bring the kids cookies to decorate.
Addison with Uncle Kevin the day after Christmas. Uncle Kevin was her favorite...mostly because he kept sneaking her drinks of pop and Cheetos!
Reading with her cousins, Kolbi and Kyndal. Addison is by far the youngest cousin in Kyle's family, so she was pretty popular...which meant a great break for me!!


Playing dress up.
Addison with cousin Tanner whom she loves. She wanted Tanner to hold her constantly and Tanner was happy to oblige.
The cousins on the dining room table at Papa Skip and Grandma J's house on New Year's Eve.
The diaper bag from Aunt Erin and Uncle James was a hit.


As was the stroller!
Addison showing Uncle David who's boss!

Playing piano with Grandma J...pardon the plumber action.
