Merry Christmas!! This is one of the best Christmas's. It was not only Andrew's first, but the first one Addison understands. We are all happy and healthy. There are so many things that we used to do as kids that were our traditions and now we get to do them with Addison & Andrew. We cooked cookies & decorated them, did Christmas arts and crafts, counted on the Advent calendar, laid out cookies for Santa, opened our new Pj's before Christmas, got oranges in our stockings, watch It's a Wonderful Life and read the Christmas Story. We missed our Uncle Eric (in Germany) & Uncle Kevin (in Oregon) we love you guys!! This Christmas was definitely Magical!
From the beginning:
We decorated the tree....well a while ago...but Andrew liked to undecorate it
shinny....
We shopped for presents....you're welcome Laura & Amber...If Addie had it her way, Millie and Grace were getting these
