Stocking Stuffer
Here are some pictures and videos of Addy opening her stocking on Christmas morning. As you can see she already has perfect the Christmas morning hairstyle going. Her favorite item...the Dora the Explorer chocolate gold coins (see chocolate smile below.)

Addy's Second Christmas
The Many Poses of Addy
Angel Tree Christmas
Our Small Group helped coordinate the Chapel's Angel Tree Christmas party for families with loved ones in prison this Christmas. We served dinner, played toy bingo, and then Dad gave a little Christmas message to close. The families left with 2 dozen cookies we had collected and gifts purchased by Chapel families in behalf on the inmates. Here are some pictures of the fun night.

Christmas Cookie Monsters
Braden and Addy did some cookie decorating this week and as you can see the Sprinkles were the hit of the afternoon. Braden emptied an entire canister of green sprinkles on his cookies. As you can see from the second picture below, he has some thoughts on Addy's use of the sprinkles as well. What can you say, the boy is passionate about his decorating.
And of course they had to work off some of those empty calories with a dance party afterwards.

Comfort Food
Wednesday Kristyn had 11 week doctor's appointment and while she was waiting for the doctor she had some complications. It was a little scary for her, but the ultrasound showed that the baby is moving and healthy. The doctor told her to stop exercising and picking up Addy, but other than that she can still get out, she just has to take it easy. We have been very encouraged by talking to other moms who had similar problems and delivered a healthy baby without any problems, so pray for us that we fall into that category.
'Uncle' Brett called to see how he could help and offered to bring dinner. When Kristyn said she didn't know what she wanted, he brought EVERYTHING she likes. Taco Bell, Pizza, a turkey pesto sub, and Chinese food. Just another reason why he is the world's best pro-bono Manny and hence has earned uncle status. Here was the spread.

Santa's Little Helper
As you can see, Addy did her best to make hanging holiday decorations as challenging as possible, but we managed to get the house into the Christmas spirit last weekend. She loves the Christmas tree and all the lights up around town. She is always calling out Christmas trees as we drive around or if she sees one on TV or in a book. We have a basic advent calender that we have been using to count down the days until Jesus' birthday. Not sure she has any idea what that is all about, but she gets the concept of birthday. Every time we mention it, she sings Happy Birthday, complete with the blowing out of the candles at the end of the song.
