Merry Christmas!

This year Brent and I were looking forward to Christmas more than ever.. it was Addison's 1st!

We started off Christmas eve with going to the candle light service at church with my family. Addison was dressed in the very same dress I wore my 1st Christmas- brought tears to my eyes! She did great in Church but when Daddy lit the candle we went straight for it! ahh!

Cant believe I was once this small!

After church, we headed to Brent's house for his parents to see her then back to my parents to eat and hang out. Even though Addison is small and doesn't understand the real meaning of Christmas we started early, I read her Twas the night before Jesus, we sprinkled reindeer dust out on the lawn and put our milk and cookies out for Santa!

Addison was worn out laying on Gigi!

Yummy! He drank all his milk, loved his cookie and the reindeer loved their carrots!

 Addison got her very 1st Jumper Roo! She LOVES it! It is so fun to watch her learn and do new things. She is slowly figuring out how to turn and jump around in it. So glad Brent and I got her this for Christmas!

I would have to say my very favorite gift was what Brent got Addison besides our Dyson vacuum ;). For weeks he had been telling me he ordered something for her but would not tell me what it was. On Christmas Eve he let her open it. Tears started streaming down my face.. of course! It was her very first bible that had her name monogrammed on the front. Daddy did a GREAT job!

Later that day we went to Brent's Family's Christmas. We ate, played with Addison and watched Football. By the end of the night I think we were all worn out! Addison ended up sleeping pretty good! :)

I LOVE my sweet family!

The greatest gift of all is the birth of Jesus- and being able to celebrate this special day with family and the ones you love most- I couldn't have had a better Christmas. So glad God blessed us with our little present- Addison!

Merry Christmas! May God bless you in the following years in many ways!
Love,

Christmas here we Come- My Favorite time of year!

Tonight Brent, Addison, and I made our way down to the Fayetteville square after finishing up our shopping. I was so excited for her to see the lights. Addison likes looking at the lights on our house but LOVED looking at the lights on the square. She just watched as we walked around and cooed! It was too cute!

pretty trees!

Sunday night we had Christmas at Brent's Grandparents house- Nona and Nono.  It was so fun to watch Addison open her 1st christmas present!
She loved pulling the paper and of course it went straight to her mouth! :)

Almost got it!

Brent and I could not be more excited to spend our 1st Christmas with Addison. She is the best Christmas present anyone could ever give! :)

Update on us:
We are currently looking for a place to live- WOOHOO! We are so excited and so ready to live together as a family and have a place to call our own. It is hard being apart when you have a little one. Addison and I miss Daddy WAY to much.

We have been a little discouraged lately because we haven't found anything that is what we are looking for. Please keep us in your prayers that God helps us find the right house/apartment/ duplex!

We love you all and wish you a Very Merry Christmas,

Oh no Shots!!

Monday, Addison had her 4 month appointment! I can not believe it has already been 4 months since I had her.

 We had to get shots again :( booo- but we had very little tears. Dr. Lovell said she is right on track and everything looked great.

I've Grown!

Inches: 24 3/4 inches- 2 feet!

Wednesday we also went to see Santa for the 1st time! Addison did great- didn't cry one tear! :)

Brent and I are SOOO excited for our 1st Christmas with Addison. We couldnt love this little girl anymore! 

Merry Christmas!

Love,

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Happy Birthday to you... Happy Birthday to you...Happy birthday sweet Daddy... Happy birthday to you!!

Today was Brent's 23rd Birthday. This was his first birthday with Addison and it was great. We didn't do much besides watch football and lay around the house with Addi but had fun just being together.

I can not even explain to you what Brent means to me. From the day we first meet - to now I couldn't love him more. He is a great person, provider, best friend, dad, and " husband". He is so loving and caring ... would do anything for Addison and I. It is so neat to see why God put him in my life. I honestly do thank God everyday for Brent.

I Love you so much and can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you! Addison and I are so lucky to have you in our life!
