Ho Ho Ho!

We had a great Christmas this year. Eve was spent with both grandparents at my parent's house. Christmas day was spent at both grandparents house, brunch mine and dinner Michael's. Addie was again spoiled rotten. I can see that Decembers are going to be a very good months for her.

The happiness when she saw her new toys

We went to Hawaii

Our moms watch Adelaide and we don't pay them, therefore we decided to take them to Hawaii as a thank you for all the help they give us. It was a great 9 days. The weather was awesome after tantrums thrown by both Michael and meself on day 2. We visited all the little towns (Lahaina was my favorite), went to Mekena Beach, played in the water, hiked a mountain, and ate some yummy fish tacos. Adelaide was in bed by 6:30pm nightly, allowing us time for nice sit down dinners at the condo.



All the ladies together, and yes my mom does have a black eye.

In true Hawaiian spirit


Dawn looks terrified in this photo




Just trying some sand. She never did a whole mouthful so that was good.


Mikey watching one of the many amazing sunsets we got to see nightly at the condo.



These photos are from Adelaide's Birthday night. She turned one during our visit. Dawn's friend Candy was on the island and joined us for dinner and brought a book for the birthday girl. She is now into books thankfully. I still cannot believe a whole year has passed. It makes me sad/happy that she is growing up, but its hard to see my baby go. There is no crawling anymore, she is all about walking and is getting quite good at it. I cant wait to see what year two brings.
