Our neighbors came over for a little Christmas cookie baking one day. Of course Madelyn helped along side were her friends Carsyn and Gracie
The following week we worked on our Christmas card picture but unfortunately the takes weren't exactly what I hoped for.
Matthew's Marine buddy came into town and not only did Madelyn make 2 new friends but so did her brother and sister.
Meet Guiness (tan and black) and Murphy aka "shmurf"
They treated Madelyn as well as Roxie does. It was very different for me to look down and normally see this
to seeing this
But I think for the most part Madelyn enjoyed her uncle dan and his kids
A few days before Chirstmas we had a string of lights go out on our tree so Madelyn helped me by putting a new strand up. (I wish this would have happened when I was trying to get a Christmas card photo)
Then it was finally Christmas! Thankfully Madelyn was able to get a good nap in between houses because she seemed to be in great spirits both Christmas Eve and Christmas day
(yes those are Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer slippers on her)
It wasnt until we got to Grandpa Jim's where it was getting to be past bedtime and Grandpa Jim decided that he wanted to throw a fit along side Madelyn (he he)
But as Christmas day was starting to end she got into her jammies and decided to lay down with her uncle Nic
Until her Aunt Erika interupted... (totally kidding Erika but Madelyn's face is priceless)
Id say after all of the running around, weather, and lack of sleep this past month we had a fantastic time these last 26 days. Only two more Christmas celebrations to go and that will be the end of Christmas 2010 for us.
Thank you everyone for the wonderful gifts and well wishes this holiday season (even those that we were not able to see). From our family of five to yours we wish you a safe and happy new year.
love it! we were sharing Nic!! =) Merry Christmas!
