Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! Santa came early for us. We are very thankful that we got to share our Christmas with my step-mom Mary and my brother Ryan for the first time in almost 10 years. They had a bit of a rough start getting out here since the weather was very uncooperative, but they finally made in on Friday the 18th (one day later than expected). We did a little shopping, celebrated my grandpa's 75th birthday, had 3 Christmas get together's with family, and spent quality time on the Wii. All in all we had a wonderful time. I'm very sad to see them go.

Addison had a wonderful 2nd Christmas. She was so much fun this year. It was great to see her tear in to her presents and get all excited. Between Mom and Dad, all of her grandparents, and other family she was spoiled rotten. She got lots of books, 2 baby dolls, a slide, Elmo Live, a 4-wheeler, a kitchen, some clothes, fancy pink John Deere boots, a drum and other loud musical instruments (aahhh!!!)...the list goes on. Next year we hope she'll have a little brother or sister to share with. Tristan and I didn't do too bad either. We are all very thankful!
