This year we had 5 Christmas' to celebrate. It was a blast this year with Addie and she really got into unwrapping gifts. The excitement of a three year old is priceless!
This year, we had a little elf from Santa visit us. I guess Santa thought Addie needed a little extra watching, so he sent Annabelle to the Garbes home...
Addie did okay with the Elf, I am hoping next year she gets a little more into it. One night at Max's Christmas concert, I told her that she has to be good because Santa is watching. Addie replied with, "He can't see me mom, there are no windows in here." Dang that girl is good!
This may be one of the few reasons Annabelle came to visit...
She used my eyeliner to make herself a kitty cat. She honestly pulled this off in a few minutes while in the bathroom. I will admit, she did a pretty darn good job of making herself look like a kitty cat!
We got our first REAL Christmas tree. It made the house smell so nice. I don't think we will go back to artificial. Addie also had fun picking it out, other than complaining that her eyes were cold. She also had a great time decorating. I love how amazing the world is to a three year old!
We went to Max's Christmas concert to watch Max sing.
We also made cookies for Santa. Addie had a blast doing this as well. Addie thanked me all night for daddy and I helping her make Santa cookies. She said that Santa really likes cookies!
We celebrated Christmas Eve with going to church for our kids' service. I am teaching again this year, so I had to keep a bunch of three year olds rounded up! Addie loves to sing in front of church and does well in Sunday school. She talks about Jesus quite a bit now, which really makes me one proud teacher!!
After church we celebrated Christmas with Dan's side, which is where Addie's spoiling began! We celebrated Christmas morning as our family of three, then with my family. I can't even begin to list all of the gifts that Addie got for Christmas, but some of what she got included: Polly Pockets, Princess things, clothes, Dream Light pillow pet, bead kits and a lot of other arts and craft things, Barbies and a Barbie car, a giant doll house that is taller than her, and LOTS of other things. She has way too much family that spoils the girl to death! Her favorite toy of the year came from Santa, which was her Doc McStuffins doctor kit. She got a play house from Dan and I, which she also loved!
The cute thing about her play house is she actually calls it her "clinic." One of her new favorite shows is Doc McStuffins on the Disney Channel. It is about a little girl who goes out to her play house and her animals come alive with her stethoscope. In the show her play house is her clinic, so that is what Addie calls hers. She takes her doctor kit and sees patients! It is SOO cute to watch and listen to her!
We are getting anxious for our other Christmas present, but I guess I am going to have to wait to open until March!!
We also continued our pajama tradition this year!
We hope everyone had a blessed Christmas holiday! Looking forward to next Christmas with TWO little girls!
