Well, Christmas morning came and went with not one picture taken! We do, however, have video. I'm doubting the long amount of video that we have will make it to this blog, but I am hopeful! If I can get that to happen, I will let you know. Until then, I need to write about Addie Kate's 2nd Christmas before I forget!
I woke up sick as a dog on Christmas morning. Took a Zantac (when I was pregnant, my reflux was so bad that I thought I was going to throw up - I was hoping that was the problem that morning) and got back in bed while Tommy got Addie Kate up. He then went downstairs and got the video camera ready for me to bring Addie down. When she and I got downstairs she immediately went to her new things from Santa, and one by one, brought them to me! She's so funny doing that! She took a little time out from her gifts when she realized Daddy had the video camera out - she had to go over there and talk and point to it!
Santa was good to Addie, no surprise there. She got a kitchen set for her playroom, and she loves to take things in and out of the cabinets on it. She's still a little young to know what to do with it yet, but I figured before her 2nd birthday or Christmas next year, she'd really be ready for it. (When you have a birthday and Christmas so close together, and both at the end of the year, Santa has to be really selective in providing toys that will last and grow with her all year!) She got a little inchworm that when her little legs grow she can bounce on and ride! Santa also brought her a smocked tiger dress and new bloomers to prepare her for next football season. She got some toddler crayons and a huge coloring book. Santa also knew that her favorite thing ever is books, so he got her a few - including a Christmas peek-a-boo flap book - which is the current favorite in books. Lastly, much to Daddy's demise, Santa got her some really girly dress-up clothes. He figured we weren't far away from this! She got fairy wings, a pink tutu, a princess scepter/wand, and tiara. I'm not big on the princess thing, but I figured that's part of being a girl and growing up! In her stocking were some baby flash cards (which I had no idea even exsisted, but friends of ours love them, so she got some too), a bathtub book (I'm telling you - LOVES books!), safety pops (suckers, which she showed no interest in), and Gerber Graduates yogurt melts (which she pitched a FIT for until I opened them and gave her some - amazing how they learn the packaging that they are familiar with!). And then my body knew Santa was done because I had to run back upstairs and enjoy the stomach bug. Thankfully, Tommy fed Addie breakfast and kept her occupied while I took every drug I could get my hands on. I meant I was not missing Addie's first real Christmas! (she was only 8 weeks old last year and slept through it all!)
I came back downstairs and we finished up Christmas. Addie Kate opened up a new gold bracelet from Mommy and an American Girl Bitty Baby from Daddy (thank goodness for the trip to NYC!), some Sandra Boynton books, Pinkalicious, and Purplicious (apparently a favorite of girls!). All in all, I think Addie Kate was beyond excited about Christmas morning!
Tommy was good to Mommy too, as usual! Hopefully he feels the same about Mommy to Daddy! Addie Kate really enjoyed helping us unwrap our presents. Her favorite from us is the Bitty Baby and kitchen set. She also likes her little bracelet - she's worn jewelry ever since she was born, so when I got the bracelet out for her, she immediately held her hand up for me to put it on! So sweet!
We then headed down the road to Lexington for more Christmas festivities... stay tuned!
