Whew! What a whirlwind Christmas was this year!! I had the entire week off last week and I had great plans of blogging and getting all caught up, but then I decided to start cleaning out what will be Addison's new bedroom and that filled my week (and our garage and trashcans)! I feel really great about the amount of work that I accomplished, but I also know there is still A LOT of work to be done!! Slowly but surely we will get there!
On that note, I need bedroom inspiration for Addi's new room! Any ideas?? PLEASE SHARE!! I found some bedding from PBTeen that I loved and I ordered for her. Once it arrived though, I realized that it was corduroy! That would be too hot and be covered in dog hair at all times, so it got boxed up and returned. I was sad to see it go, but I know I would always hate it deep down! I'm really at a loss so please send your inspiration my way...please!
I'm going to post our Christmas pictures a little out of order, but I will evenutally get them all posted! I'm going to start with Christmas Eve and the Potts side of the family.
Addi was so excited to open up presents!! Here she is diving in!!
Trevor and Granny (my dad's mom)
Aunt Jackie and LuLu
Christmas jewels...purple of course!
Addi love, love, loved her new BIG Sister shirt! She insisted on trying it on immediately...without help!
Seriously, it took her about 10 minutes to get it on, but she finally did it! It turned into a joke so everytime someone else opened up a new shirt, we took pictures of them "trying" to get it on! Guess you just had to be there!
Jackie "trying on" her new shirt!
Addi also adored her new $3 broom and dustpan from Big Lots...go figure!
A new raincoat!!
She wasn't a fan of the hood, but it looks like Todd was!
Yes I said Todd. My poor grandmother has had multiple strokes and started calling Scott "Todd" on Christmas Eve. He was a great sport and just went along with it. I feel a little left out, because I'm one of the only ones without a nickname! Addi is Allison and Jackie is Jody (or Joanie). We even started calling mom and dad (Linda and David) , Lisa and Darrell. It was pretty humorous to say the least!
Scott "trying on" his new shirt!
Addi got a tent from Aunt Jackie and Uncle Trevor...she LOVES it!!!
Milk and cookies for Santa and of course reindeer food for the reindeer!
LuLu sprinkling the food (because it was too cold for Addi)...
What will Santa bring? You'll have to stay tuned!!
