Christmas 2012

Christmas morning!!  Trying to get the babies to all look the same direction and smile is asking too much I realize!  What a busy year we had with all the babies!   Addison was in heaven getting to “help” open the babies presents!  Next year she may realize they want to do it themselves.

Preparing cookies for Santa

Addison just loves to help in the kitchen.  Her favorite part is testing the food as she is making it.  She sneaks her little finger in without you noticing.

Daycare present

Addison was so excited she had a secret and couldn’t tell me what it was.  She was giggly and just would say it was a present for me!  Well I got one present a little early this year!  Piper and Addison made me a tree.  On a side note Addison is getting better at writing her name.

Santa and the girls 2012

It’s been a couple of years since Addison would sit on Santa’s lap.  This year she said she was going to be brave and do it.  She did awesome!!  I couldn’t have asked for a better picture.
