I'm Back

Addison has been having lots of fun coming up with fun new games and imaginary "scenarios" that she likes to play around the house. She will play kitchen, changed babies, put babies to sleep, and then the newest one is that she is going home. She will give Thomas and I hugs and kisses and walks to the laundry room and then will run back and say "I'm back!" She will do this over and over again. Sometimes she will tell us, "safe" because we tell her, "be safe" or she will tell us " miss you, love you" It is so cute and tonight she actually let me video tape her! Enjoy.

PS. Ignore Thomas on the phone in the video, he was chatting with his dad about the computer. If I was going to get this on tape I had to go with the flow!

Chilly!

So my parents and grandpa are very big fans of hockey. They are season tickets holders of the Houston Aeros hockey team and never want to miss a game! While my Grandpa was in town for the holidays, he would join my mom or parents to the games. While at the game, he bought Addison a Chilly hat. Chilly is the mascot for the Aeros. I wanted to share the picture of Addison with the hat on and say thank you to Grandpa Red for Addison's new hat!!

Snow or is it Ice?

While we were out of town in Katy for the holidays, Lubbock had a pretty big snow...for Lubbock! I was so sad that we missed it and that we were not able to have Addison see snow for Christmas. We were driving back home the next day, so I was hoping that there would still be quite a bit on the ground. The only area that the snow ended up staying around was in the shady areas of the yard. Well, we went ahead and took Addison out in the backyard one morning and we quickly realized that it was more ice then snow..but that is okay!! Addison walked around on it for a while and then began to bend down and say "Hi snow!" "Doing?" She likes to ask different things what they are doing...SO CUTE!!! We tried to video tape her talking to the snow, but she stopped talking once the camera came on (as usual!)

Let's Get Cooking!

Addison has been very interested in cooking with mommy for a couple of months now! So since we knew that Christmas was coming, we made sure to request that as a gift for our little cooker. Well, Mia and Pop gave Addison a wonderful kitchen set and she is very much in love with it! I have to share though, what Addison did before the kitchen was set up. We had just arrived home from our long drive from Houston and while Thomas and I were unloading and unpacking Addison took her new play pan and food(thank you Horsley's!) and brought it into the kitchen and made herself at home! She pulled out my pots and pans and she literally stayed in there for 45 minutes cooking. She was having such a good time and she didn't need momma or daddy to get in her way!:-) Also, to add to the fun kitchen accessories, Nana and Poppa got Addison and Momma matching aprons so that we can cook together! How Fun! She will put it on to play and insist that Momma gets hers to put on, as well. I am so glad she is enjoying her new kitchen and we are pretty lucky because we are getting lots of yummy Addison cupcakes.

Christmas in Houston

After Midland, we traveled down to Katy to spend 2 days with my family. When we got there, mom was eager to do Christmas gifts. Addison opened a gift with Nana, Poppa, and Grandpa Red. She loved all of her gifts! We did not do to many things because we had such a short amount of time. We did enjoy 3 of our favorite restaurants: Caspian Cafe which is persian food, Pappadeaux, and we also had the Cheesecake Factory. Addison really loved it there, she had butter noodles and strawberries with whipped cream! YUM!!! Thomas, my Dad, and I went to see Avatar at the 3D IMAX. It was really good! We left on Wednesday and headed back home to end our holiday travels! We had such a good time with all of our family, but we were glad to back in our cozy little home!

Sorry about the photo, I could not get it turned...?

Christmas in Midland

The first part of Christmas for the Reynolds' family was in Midland. We were there for 4 days and 3 of those days our sweet girl was very sick. She really did not get to enjoy Christmas in full Addison spirit. She ended up having a fever and very bad cough. We took her to the urgent care just to make sure that she did not have any serious issue...since she normally does. The doctor said everything was fine, but we needed to put her on a cough/decongestant medicine, and she has no problem taking that! She began to perk up by the end of Christmas day.
Addison was so excited by the amount of presents under the tree and she did sooo good. She only went over to the tree once to "look" at the gifts. She was not to interested in opening gifts, but there was a whole lot going on in the room that I don't blame her. She was able to see Uncle T and Aunt Diana while we were there. They gave her a rocking cow. She was able to play with her cousin Hayden, they had fun coloring, playing with trains,and making tea. They did really well together!!! Another exciting thing is that she will have a new uncle, Justin. Tosha and Justin are engaged and we are so excited for them. Addison really started warming up to Justin this trip, and I think he was pretty happy about that!

Christmas in Houston will follow!
