My favorite day of the year...

Our fam on Christmas Eve

(Addyson is wondering why the camera

is blinking 900 times)

Thank you self timer and our ottoman

for making this family picture possible.

SANTA CAME!!!

YAY FOR PRESENTS!

Reading one of her new books,

I think she got about 15,

which is a good thing, because she

doesn't mind reading the same ones

over, and over, and over (you get the point)

but I do!!!

Playing with a bow.

She is quite the fan of wrapping paper, but it turns out

the bows are even better than the paper!

In the wrapping paper pile.

getting the heck out of there

her shopping cart from Santa!!

It's hard work pushing that shopping cart from the

dining room into the living room (approx. 5 feet!)

Mommy and Ad, just happy it's Christmas!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas

The next holiday in the Radmall home

(we are going to skip

New Years, we go to bed by 10 anyway, so it's a holiday that pretty

much doesn't exist in our house!)

Somebody's first birthday!!!

I have quite the party to plan,

and only one month to do it in!

We are Ready

For Christmas!

The shopping is done,

the gifts are wrapped,

and we are so excited for A's first Christmas!

Here she is, wearing her Christmas dress,

sitting in her new rocking chair from Didi and Grandad

(which she went a few days not noticing was exactly

her size, but when she did realize it... she wanted it!)

note: This picture was taken after church,

hence no headband or baby legs.

The headband was the first to go, then

during RS she crawled out of her baby legs!

And this week she learned how to point.

She points at her books, her puppy, and the tree.

Here she is pointing at Daddy.

And here she is, being her typical naughty self!

If she is already ruining pictures at this age,

I am not looking forward to her teenage years!

Merry Christmas Eve everyone!!

Warning: Viewer Discretion is Advised

The following images are not

suitable for children under the age of 3.

Please do not allow my naughty child

to influence your sweet innocent angels.

(note: the following images were

taken within 5 minutes of each other.)

Addyson Sage turned herself

in and was taken into custody

after being found guilty of breaking and entering

(the dishwasher and refrigerator)

She is now being held in the Under Highchair Prison.

Peek-a-boo Baby

Addyson has started playing peek-a-boo all by herself.

Check it out.

SO cute!

She also has been making LOTS of funny faces lately,

you will see a sneak preview of some of them here.

Tis the Season

To be FREEZING!!!

Remember when I mentioned that I hate snow...

well now I do even more.

This is our current view,

and it's supposed to snow more this weekend!

Anyway, just wanted to post some

of our family pictures.

With the help of SJ Peterson we

were actually able to get some pictures with

Miss A actually smiling!

And here is our Christmas Card

ps- taking a picture of a picture...

not such a great idea, but you get the idea.

My Christmas shopping is DONE!

And as for Brandon, he hasn't even started!

Now it's time to get started on the

holiday baking, let Brandon finish finals,

and then we get to enjoy our first Christmas

with Addyson!

i love christmas!

As I Promised

Pics with Didi and Grandad

Addyson loves her Didi.

She sends her books, toys, clothes, jammies, and

brings her presents when she comes and visits!

But I think Addyson loves her Grandad

just a little bit more.

(I think she just likes boys more in general,

which she gets from her mommy,

which we will have to deal with in years to come)

Grandad makes her smile and laugh!

Grandad lets her sit on his shoulders

(all weekend long!)

She just can't get enough of that Grandad!

We love you Didi and Grandad,

thanks for coming and visiting us!

*please note that in 4 out of the 5 pictures

Addyson's hands are being held in place,

she is a crazy child, and will NOT

sit still for pictures

**also note that the only picture where her hands

are not being held, she is pulling Grandad's hair
