Christmas 2008

It's hard to believe another Christmas has passed. Every year time seems to go faster! We had a great time in Kansas with Travis' family and a great time in Arizona with my family. This year was especially fun with Addison. She understood more as she listened to the Christmas story, sang songs about baby Jesus, and of course really enjoyed opening presents. She also loved all the time she was able to spend with her cousins (and is now going through withdrawal as she's all by herself again!) Here are some pictures and video of our Christmas. (There are a lot of pictures, but I figured both of the grandmas would enjoy seeing them!) Getting ready to sing at the church Christmas program. Opening her presents from mom & dad. Reading a new book with Grandpa S. A new pink guitar! Now daddy and I can play our guitars together! Addison and Grandma S. Travis' sister-in-laws Steph & Liz Swimming in Arizona! Yummy Christmas dinner! Reading a book with Grandma M. and cousin Jaret. One of Addison's favorite gifts was this umbrella. Not too happy to stop and take a picture! Hiking with my cousins in Saguaro National Park.


Before we opened our presents here at home,we sang some Christmas songs together. Here is Addison singing Away in the Manger.
Addison got Travis a new watch for Christmas. Here she is opening it for him. She couldn't remember what she got him and kept saying "I think it's a tool."
