Christmas 2005!

A little of this and that....

Happy Birthday Kurt & Daniel!

Kurt's parents, Greg and Claudia, and Daniel came to Peoria for Kurt's birthday. We all had a great day with one another.

Snow!

Addie wasn't so sure about the snow, but she is just so stinking cute in all of the garb.

Thanksgiving 2005!!

We spent Thanksgiving Day at the Barrett household. Dad, Jan, and Josh; Jason, April, Livie, and Levi; Don, Christie, Mallory, Taylor, and John Rylee; and us. The house was full and it was great fun with all the kids!

Thanksgiving with the Sander family was on Saturday. Jarm andTaylor also were there (Kelsey had a basketball practice :( ). Addie had a great time playing with the kids.

We spent Sunday with the Webster family celebrating Thanksgiving. We all went to church Sunday together and had a great afternoon.

Enjoy the pictures!

Addie's first Christmas present of the season!

Don and Christie won't be here for Christmas so they brought presents for the kids. Addie got a cute shirt with her name and snowflakes embroidered and a super cute bow for her hair!

We did all the tree-trimming and decorating on Friday after Thanksgiving. Addie thought it would be a good idea to have the tree skirt as her dress!

I going to get the camera Dad!

Addie enjoying a nice fall day.

Addie is now 14-1/2 months and is very much a toddler. She'll be moving from the Infant room to the Toddler room at PALS around Thanksgiving.

She is getting so big and is so smart. Addie can say dada, mama, juice, thank you, dog, duck, all done. She is just an absolute joy.

She's still on the phone!!

Grandpa Pumpy came to visit.

Halloween 2005!!

Addie was Eeyore for Halloween this year! She really got the hang of the trick-or-treating concept after the first house or two.

Our little pumpkin's first real pumpkin. Now all we need to do is carve it. I wonder if she'll stick her hand inside??!! More updates to follow.

Playing in the leaves for the first time! Next year Addie gets a rake!!

Kurt's state of the art dog house (just in case!).

Come on Grandma Webster, let's go shopping. I've got your purse and my sweater!

My first school picture!!

Addie loves going to PALS - downtown. Here is her first school picture. Can you believe she is 14 months old!!! Addie can walk even better now and is just such a happy little girl.

Who needs a spoon, my hands work so much better Mom and Dad!

Those goats are sure funny! Our day spent at Apple Blossom Farm in Peoria.

Watch out or you may get run over!

A proud member of the Bradley University Wee "B" Club!

I am super cute and I know it!! I can wear clips in my hair!

She's Walking (sort of)!!

Early this month, Addie started toddling around. She likes to take 3-5 steps then do a free-fall dive toward you. Everyday she gets more brave and stronger.
