Christmas Morning

Ladybug had a great time on her first Christmas morning. I worked Christmas Eve but got to come home bright and early for Ladybug's first time opening presents. She loves opening presents! This picture doesn't quite do our tree justice. It was 11 feet high and 5 1/2 feet wide. We went a bit overboard, Tim and I swear it isn't the one we picked out, it just didn't seem that big at the place. Nothing like putting an 11 foot tree in a stand that only holds up to 8 foot trees. We definitely have stories about this one.

Tissue Paper!!

Leroy had another birthday!! Addison helped open his presents! Happy Birthday Leroy!

Santa!

Addison was terrific for her first Santa Picture! We went to the Bass Pro Shop for our free pic and it really turned out well!

No More 'Bucket'!

Well, Addison is growing so fast! We have noticed that her car seat is getting a little snug and I have been procrastinating looking up the height/weight restrictions. I finally looked and Bug has become to tall for the infant car seat we have! We upgraded her to all Big Bug stuff and she is sooo excited she doesn't have to sit in the Bucket anymore!! We called her old car seat the Bucket :)

New mom's beware!! The converter car seat is a scam! They are designed for SUV and Mini-Van Mom's! If you drive anything with sports suspension and you enjoy driving with your seat comfortably reclined so you are not killed by the airbag coming out of the steering wheel, it's time to change your ways! The bigger car seat can't recline without a huge seat adjustment! Ladybug has truly affected every aspect of our lives now :)

Here is some pics and videos of the Ladybug growing up too fast :)
A new Bucket!!

Having fun out to eat with Mom & Dad

"You'll Shoot Your Eye Out"

Have you ever seen the movie "A Christmas Story"? Remember when Ralphies little brother, Randy, was getting dressed for school in his snow suit?? Grammy Lita must have known it was going to snow this year, she bought one for Addison before she was even born :)

Let us compare...

vs.

Bug had so many layers on she couldn't sit straight or move her arms and legs...we shortly ended up here...

After a little bit of singing she was curious what the wet, cold white flakes were about.

SNOW!!

We were sceptical about all this talk about snow for today. We figured if hurricane season is over they have to find something to talk about.

Here are some pics from this morning around 11am. It was really coming down.

Just getting started...What's the floaty white stuff floating around???

Now we are talking snow!

What happened to the plants??

Poor Anna is scared of the snow, she has never liked the cold and this just topped things off. TMI...Poor thing hasn't pooped all day because she won't walk on the snow :(

Why Buy Toys?

Our little explorer found something new...
