The last few months in pictures

I am finally posting pictures...a ton of pictures! I uploaded them backwards, so the most recent pictures are first.

I wish I had more time to go in to detail about all the fun things we have done the past few months, but I guess you will just have to enjoy it through pictures. Pictures are worth a thousand words anyway....right?

CHRISTMAS

Putting up the Christmas tree.

Addi with the ornament she picked out this year :)

No snow for a snowman...no problem!

Preschool fun!

Addi in the stocking she was put in when she was born.

Wow! she is growing so fast!

This is probably my favorite picture of all.

Mary and Baby Jesus.

Addi prepared her own costume as well as the bed for the baby Jesus :)

We didn't have anything fancy for our nativity, but the spirit of Christmas was felt!

Addison turns 4!!!!

We had two parties for Addi. One with her friends and one with our family.

Lovin' her brother.

Addi is such a HUGE help! She loves her brother so much and makes him smile more than anyone.

A Family Effort

After 13 hours, we finally finished staining our deck!

Special thanks to:

Addison for being brave and climbing the ladder, and bringing us yummy treats, and playing with Kaden, and setting the table for dinner, and cleaning up dinner so mommy and daddy could keep staining. You really worked hard!

Kaden for sitting in your chair so happily, and taking really good naps so we could finish.

Jacob for putting up with my perfectionistic self, and for chanting me along until the very end!

This was a big project (much bigger than we anticipated), but it feels sooooo good to be able to walk on our deck and see the fruits of all of our labors!
