Addie wearing my boots. They almost look like fishing boots on her.

We bought Addie a new coat and snow pants for the winter. I asked her to put them on to show Aaron she refused to take them off even for dinner.

Aaron took us to the zoo for my Birthday. Addie is looking at some pretty birds.

Baby Zuri and her mom. Addie now knows what a elephant says!

I am showing Addie how to take two ritz crackers and put cheese in between to make a sandwich.

Every year the Allen family hikes out and finds a Christmas Tree. This year we had so much snow that we had to go up to a different location and get a tree off along side the road. Brandon Emilee and I all excited!

Matt decided to plop down into the snow and ended up with a face full of snow because of all the powder.

This is why we were unable to get up to our usual spot. The snow was up to our waist. In the end we hiked out of the mountains with 5 Christmas tree (one being 20 ft long). Thank you boys for doing most of the grunt work.

I would call this the hick was of sledding. It is LOTS more fun and you don't consume as much energy.

Addie and Quinn even took a ride. Quinn loved it so much that she fell asleep on Tyson's lap.

Caleb and Brian enjoying the cold.

Aaron and I with our red noses!

This year Addie had three Christmases the first the Allen's the Saturday after Thanksgiving Addie got a baby doll, second the Lassig's at the beginning of December Addie got a farm with animals (shown above opening it) and then on Christmas day with Clair, Nate, Aaron, Addie and I. Addie then got a purse, little puppy dogs, a baby crib, and lots of fun stocking candy.

Aaron brought home the Costco food in a box and the day I found Addie cuddled in it like a puppy dog.

WHENEVER there is silence in the house I know that there are two things happening 1. Addie is asleep or 2. she is getting into something that she is not suppose to. This was the second, Addie pulled out half the roll of my plastic wrap out of the drawer and was trying to get rid of the evidence before her mother saw.

There are many ways in which you can use a stroller.....here is one. Addie is in love with hats!

Addie all bundled up to go for a run with Aunt Clair Christmas morning.

Some how every year we only get one or two pictures for Christmas, maybe next year I will make sure we get more. Here is Addie opening her stocking.
