Christmas fun

We had such a fun christmas. Jackson was very into Santa- but didn't hear Santa on the roof. Our Christmas started on Christmas eve at Nana & Papa's with our traditional Mexican meal. On Christmas morning we opened all our gifts here and then headed to Gram & Grandpa's for the rest of the day- brunch, xmas presents, naps and then the big christmas dinner where the Figueiredo's & my parents joined us. It was a great Christmas! Addison's new dollhouse. She is in love. I thought she would be a little too young for it- but she loves playing with it- especially the baby. Jackson with his cookies & "white" milk for Santa. Santa ate ALL the cookies! our christmas present... Nana & Papa got all the kids overalls w/ red shirts. Ashton has been begging for months. They all had to put them on for the rest of the night.

sick days & funny pictures

We have had a big bout of the stomach flu this weekend. It hit Jackson friday morning at 2am and hit me within 5 minutes of getting out of bed to help him throw up! I thought it was just my stomach sick from seeing/smelling him. Our bedroom was a revolving door all night long. Nathan running to help Jackson and me running to the bathroom. Nate had a waterfowl hunting trip planned for months this weekend- he left late friday afternoon and came home early Sat. afternoon with the stomach flu. We shipped Addison off to Nana & Papa's for the weekend and got her back last night because Nana was feeling "weird". Nathan is staying in the bedroom today in hopes that we can keep it away from Addison. After 2 days stuck in the house with mommy, Jackson was dying to get out of the house last night and we went to the Chapman Family (extended) xmas party. We didn't hug on anyone and hopefully didn't pass anything to anyone else. Jackson got a nerf shooter which he has had so much fun with today. Addison retrieves the balls as soon as he shoots them- a pretty nice set-up for him! Addison being silly this morning...

Addison's first haircut

Addison's first haircut was today! She did perfectly! We got all that whispy baby hair off and the back just does this little flip out. Kim (our hairdresser) gave both Addison & Jackson 2 suckers. Of course, I look at addison on the way home and she has both of them unwrapped and is sucking on them at the same time...

Fun w/ cousins

Friday night we had a sleepover- Ashton & Parker stayed the night and we finished setting up the tree (cause the night before took 2 hours to get our HUGE tree up!). Then we made sugar cookies (big mistake hindsight :) ) and had warm cider to drink. It was a fun night. Oh, and a picture of Addison & Parker in the tub- addison was laughing so hard at Parker I finally had to get the video camera out.

Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving day photoshoot. They were yelling "pumpkin pie" because we had to promise them pie if they took good pictures. I had to include this picture... I drove a Chapman van home the other night and Jackson had been waiting for this moment.
