A little catching up

We were lucky to be able to go home for Thanksgiving again this year. I do love Christians benefits! We had a great visit with both our families and got to spend a lot of time with them. I didn't take hardly any pictures. Surprising! We ate with my family early and spent the rest of the evening with Christians family. Addy had a blast with her cousins! They ran around wild all night. Being home makes me really miss living near everyone.

Last weekend was our ward Christmas breakfast. Santa and Mrs. Claus came for a visit. This was Addy's first time sitting on Santa's lap. We talked to her all morning about how nice Santa is and that he gives you candy. She was excited! Chris waited in the long line with Ella and Nate and Erin and I waited to snap some shots of the kids.

This is what happened when it was Addy's turn. She was so scared!

Mrs. Claus showed Addy the candy cane she was about to get and she was all smiles.
Whenever we bring up Santa now she says "Santa nice!"

We finally put up our Christmas tree. I really enjoyed doing this as a family this year. Addy loved all the ball ornaments. She was really into the decorating in the beginning, but by the time the night was over she was throwing the ornaments all around.
