christmas program 2010

Addi's school Christmas Program was last weekend.  She was the cutest little one with a reindeer on her dress and two tails for sure!!  Her class rang bells with the Busy Threes and sang "Up on the Housetop".  She stole the show, at least I think she did!!

Running around before the show started!

She got nervous waiting with Daddy and accidentally pulled out one of her tails...oops!  Mama got called in for a quick hair fix before it was her time to shine! 

Getting set up on stage! 

Showtime!! 

Look at these two!  Are they not the cutest frineds?!? 

Addi-Girl and Charlie-Man! 

Addi's teachers, Ms. Deidre and Ms. Monique 

Thank you to all the wonderful teachers and staff who worked so hard on the Christmas Program.  It was a huge success!  We appreciate ALL that you do for our sweet girl and all the kids!

christmas on the farm

 Last week we went with the Roberts to the Orr Family Farm.  They do a great Christmas light display and you even get to ride on the train to see the lights!  We me there and the girls had a blast!  MiMi and PaPa even came with us and Shelby and Jacob.  Addi is one spoiled little girl!!

So excited to see each other!

Coincidence?  I think not!  These girls have two clever Mamas!  The girls even wore their "spotty shoes" just like the elf shoes!! 

Watching (from a safe distance) the horses.

Liz took my picture!!

Heading to the train!! 

In the shop buying popcorn.  What are these two silly girls doing?  Who knows?!? 

Addi's gang! 

Eating kettle corn!  YUM!! 

Watching the lights!

christmas card photoshoot 2010

A few weeks ago I loaded Addi up and we headed over to Campus Corner to take some pictures for our Christmas cards.  I got so many goofy and fun pictures of her and I just had to share some of my favorites.  This is one funny little girl!!

We see this face (and finger) a lot! 

She sang me the Caterpillar song... 

I love this look! 

She looks so mischievous...we get this look a lot too! 

My little movie star! 

"Which one did my Mama pick for our card?? You'll just have to wait to see..."

new costumes

Over Thanksgiving, my mom's friend (and my long-time dance teacher) brought Addi a HUGE sack of old recital costumes!  Oh my gosh! We had so much fun sorting through the bag!  Addi would just squeal every time we'd pull out another costume!  She picked out her favorite one and just had to try it on!

Thank you Shannon!! We love you!
