Playing with their new games with Daddy. Happy Family.


I realize I didn't give much of an update on Christmas and I found my memory card so I can post some of the pictures. Although, I'm sure most who read this have seen most of the pictures on my facebook or myspace, but oh well for my imaginary friends who haven't seen them I'll post them for you.

Christmas was great. Addison and Paige both made out like bandits and had a great time. Gifts were given, food was eaten, family was visited, and joy was spread around. Addison was uniinterested and did not even make any attempt to open any of her presents, she played with the paper while I unwrapped all of her gifts. Which was cool for me because I felt like I got twice as much stuff. :) It went well for a baby's first Christmas though I am pretty sure that we'll be spending the rest of the year recovering from the holiday season, it was still pretty great.

Playing with her Cash Register. Price check on Aisle 3.

Paige is back to school and reading like a fool, though they sent home some reading material that I must say I found questionable for a first grader, when grading it on content, so I have to ask a few questions there. She informed Aaron yesterday that she doesn't have school on Monday because it is "Carl's Junior Day". We laughed for about 5 minutes before we clarified it was Martin Luther King Jr. Day, not a day for rememberance of a fast food franchise. She FINALLY has one of her front teeth coming in, there for a little while I thought she was going to be toothless because it took so long for them to come through.

Addison singing her song, her talent is astounding.

Addison has learned to say NO and throw a tantrum. That girl can throw a fit with the best of them. It's amazing, I have no idea where she learned it, is it just something they have engraved in them so they can drive their parents nuts? I'm not allowed to leave the room without her, lest she might throw a seizure-fit.
Her head surgery has been approved and scheduled. In March, they will fix her scar and make it smaller. It's a bit nerve wracking, what with the anethesia and all, but I'm confident that the doctor's at Doernbecher will do an excellent job.

I also had a lot of fun playing with the children's toys at Christmas... It's good to have an active imagination, Right?
