The Beloved Pony


Well, I know it's a little late, but we wanted to share our wonderful Christmas festivities with you. On Christmas Eve, Addie heard Santa's bells while she was in the bathtub and got out to find that he had left her a cute princess nightgown to wear to bed as she waited for Christmas morning. (She won't take the princess jamies off without quite the fight, even today!) When she woke up on Christmas morning, she found that Santa brought her just what she wanted- a pony!!!! She loves it! It was so much fun to have Christmas with an excited 2 year old. We opened presents at our house Christmas morning and then headed to Idaho Falls where Addie was excited to see Matt's family and play with her cousins. The next day we headed to my parents' house for more present opening. Addie loves spending time with her grandmas and grandpas. We had a lovely time. Addie was sad when we had to take down the tree and pack away her Rudolph movie, but she is having so much fun playing with all her new gifts. Today we were at Red Lobster and this cute little old man with a long white beard was sitting next to us. Addie pointed and yelled "SANTA CLAUSE!" and said, "thanks for the pony." She is so cute!
We hope you all had as wonderful a Christmas and New Year as we did!

She is so cute, guys! What a neat Christmas experience. It's fun when they are just old enough to understand who Santa is and what he brings!

Looks like you guys had a great Christmas. I love your railing in the background it looks great. WE do still need to hang out.
We tore apart our basement on Saturday so we have been trying to put it back together. Maybe this weekend if you guys are not busy.
Also if you want to start getting a list ready for your open house, that would be great.
