Sick girl

New Years Day Addie just was not herself. She was grouchy and wanted to be held and crying a lot more than usual. I thought it was just a cold she was starting to get that all the other kids had had. That night we went to dinner and we got back and I noticed that she had ear wax and puss all around the outside of her ear and if I tried to touch it she would flip out! I got up the next morning and called and got right in to the pediatrician. Luckily I got to actually see my Dr and sure enough her ear drum had ruptured from an ear infection. She was just so sad to look at! He got us some antibiotics and we went back home. She started to feel so much better the next day and within a few days was back to herself! 

Waiting for the Doctor! It was shear torture to sit and wait for him!

Later we went to see my cousin who got home from his mission a couple days prior and she crashed in my grandma's arms, it was the saddest thing! I did enjoy the extra cuddles for a few days!

New Years

New Year's Eve was a lot of fun! We made a yummy home made Chinese dinner and played some games! Andrew and I celebrated 10 years since our first date! I can't believe it has been that long and all we have done in those 10 years! 2014 was a great year we had our sweet Addie and bought our house! We are looking forward to 2015 and all that it has in store! 

Addie

This girl is obsessed with the cupboards! She loves to empty them and play in them! I will walk in the kitchen and all cupboards will be open and stuff all over the place!

This has been a great investment! She loves to play in it and loves to play peek a boo in it! I was on the fence about buying it and finally did last minute, it came the day before Christmas Eve :) and I am so glad I did!

Random Phone Pics from December!!!

We are a little obsessed with her!

With so many kids around it got crazy so they watched a few movies! This was on New Years Eve. We let all the kids stay up until Midnight! They all loved celebrating the new year! Then they all slept over at Grandma's house!

Playing at Grandma Duzett's house

Santa Brought a few dress ups for the kids to share! They enjoyed playing with them most of the day one day after Christmas!

She is such a happy child 95% of the time!

She found a Candy cane while I was showering and managed to get the wrapper off and was sucking away when I walked out! I thought I put everything dangerous out of her reach but I guess I didn't! She was pretty proud of herself!

We had quite a few lazy days the end of December

11 Months

Two days after Christmas this little one turned 11 months! I absolutely can't believe how fast this year has gone! It always makes me sad when they get to this age! She has been such a joy in our family! It was so fun this last month to celebrate her first Christmas! She loved the tree more than the other two ever did. She loves pictures, like our family pictures on the wall. She is a momma's girl but loves when dad comes home! We love our Addie girl!

Safe to say the outfit finally fits her as it should!

Christmas Day

Christmas Morning we got up about 7:30. I was exhausted! Easton came in our room and we went and got the girls up! We waited on the stairs for dad to start the fire and then we heard Santa's sleigh bells flying away! I wish we had a picture of Easton's face when he heard them (Andrew had his phone with it making a sleigh bell noise) he was stunned!

It snowed a few inches overnight!

Everybody got big stuff this year. Ella got a dollhouse, Easton got a tool bench, Addie got a activity center, and Andrew surprised me with a bike! They each got a few books, a new outfit, and Easton and Ella got little cheap computer things. Ella really wanted an Elsa dress from Santa and I scored one for half off at target a few weeks before! It was such a good Christmas! It is so fun to see the joy and excitement on the kids faces!

I don't know what Addie loves more her house or Easton's tool bench. She goes for one or the other most days!

We spent the rest of the day with family. We had breakfast at my parents then headed and spent the afternoon with Andrew's siblings. We missed his mom and dad this year they spent it in Arizona. We ended the night at my Grandma's house for dinner! We gave my Grandma a router so that we can all have Internet when we are at her house, and mostly so we can skype my brother while we are at her house! It was such a great day and we are so thankful to be close to family again and to be able to have started some of our own traditions this year with our kids!
