We had a great Christmas. We started out and headed out to Brady's dad house and celebrated with that side of the family. We even had Brady's Aunt and Uncle from Indianapolis in town. It was great and we even saw a few snow flurries. I just went to look to see if I had any pictures but I guess I forgot to take some. What a bummer.
We were then off to church and it was amazing as always, the girls did great and Addisyn was really understanding that we were there and Christmas was to celebrate Jesus's birthday. She listened and was singing. Cambry on the other hand, lets just say that girl can not sit still and we had to leave. She really wanted to take communion.
We then headed home to bake cookies and make reindeer food and read T'was the night before Christmas.(my sister does that tradition and I thought it would be cute to do it too) Once the girls were down, Brady's fun started and he had a horse to put together which was not bad at all and then Cambry's baby center. It has 46 steps and took the whole time we watched Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

Christmas morning was just great. I always thought about moments like these. Addisyn was super excited about her horse. She even opened all her presents on the horse. I am sad to say the horse went back to the store. The tail and head broke within 1 week. Can you imagine what would happen if we had it any longer then that? So she was ok with that, she actually only touched it on Christmas and then forgot about it. Cambry loved opening the presents. After awhile, I do not even think she looked to see what it was, she was just enjoying tearing open the present. They did sit there for 1 month and then finally she was able to have at it. My mom came over in the AM and we worked on my big Christmas lunch. It included my first turkey with turned out great, I think. So we stayed here all day and ate and played. We then headed to Aunt's house and enjoyed Brady's mom side of the family. It was such a great day and seemed to be very relaxing.

We also had to have another Christmas with Brady's Mom side of the family because she was in New Mexico on Christmas so that Sunday they all came over her to celebrate It s nice to break it up. The girls loved it. I had a great idea on Christmas day which is Friday to paint our living room and get new decor. Well do to the fact that we had the party here on Sunday we were really busy painting and trying to get it all ready. We worked ALL day Saturday. I really appreciate my husband going for it. I love it by the way!

Overall it was great holiday season, gingerbread house making, cookie exchanges, Sea World visits, Addisyn getting to go over to her great friend Natalie's house. We are blessed and hope for a great and healthy year in 2010. We wish the same for everyone else too.
