December Catch Up

December went by too quickly! I am still in shock that it is January! Here are some December highlights:

Grammy and Papa came down for an early Christmas. We took the kids to see Santa and played at the park for a bit. Both of the kiddos did great with Santa...he is such a sweet old man who volunteers each year for our town.

Family of 4 stockings!
A lazy Saturday morning...we don't get this often since I usually work on Saturdays so we have to savor them when they come. Both kids cuddle dad on the couch for some cartoons.
Drive-in movie to see the Chipmunks. Addie loves going to the movies so we met up with the Hamons and some of our neighbors for a night at the drive-in. We stayed in the car since it was rather chilly but it was great. Brody watched half of it then fell asleep in his carseat and Addie had her eyes glued on the screen.
A walk to the duck pond near our house. We have been out in about in the neighborhood quit a bit since the weather has been incredible. We took a family stroll to the duck pond to "fish" with tree branches and climb trees. Chris has taught Addie to climb trees and she is hooked...she is try to climb any and every tree in her sight...even the tiny ones.
I received this picture on my phone one day. Chris and Brody were cleaning up the garage.
Addie and Jackers have become little buddies. We usually see him at least every other day in the neighborhood. This night we stole Jackers for his parents to go on a date...they had a blast playing and decorating cookies. They might have destroyed the curtain bar in Addie's room but we will not talk about that.
Brody got a new train from Grammy and Papa for his birthday!
Brody is sooo close to walking. He has perfected pulling himself up onto anything and is starting to cruise on the furniture.
The tot lot slide...they like going down together.
Peppermint hot chocolate...yum.
Our pathetic tree this year...yes, it is 4 feet talk and it is fake. Sad. We decided to give since it seemed like an up high battle to keep Mr. Brody away from the tree. Funnily, Addie loved the thing since she could pull up the bar stool and play with each ornament.
How I found Brody after a nap....with Addie.
Sweet boy...
Silly boy...
Silly girl....
Paso Christmas parade with dad...
