Mark and Addison are just wild these days!! They really do love to play together, especially their version of "rough housing". Mark likes to tickle Addison and Addison likes to jump on Mark. It's pretty funny to watch them play.
HO HO HO!!
We had a very merry Christmas!! Mark and Addison got more presents than we know what to do with!! And Santa came too!! We celebrated on Christmas Eve with Nana, Paw-Paw, Uncle Bradley and Aunt Jennifer. They were way too sweet to Mark and Addison! Tanks, baby dolls, a helicopter! So many presents!!
Luckily, Mark and Addison were off to bed and to sleep quickly that very important night! Santa had lots to do! Addison woke up first Christmas morning, well actually I woke up first. Really I never went to sleep. I was too afraid Mark would wake up and go downstairs while Jason and I were still sleeping. (He has been known to go downstairs and wait on us.) All that worrying for nothing though - Addison had to wake Mark up!
Santa brought so many toys!! Most importantly though he brought Handy Manny! All Mark wanted for Christmas was Handy Manny's red truck! All Addison wanted for Christmas was a baby doll. She got multiple baby dolls! She loves them all though. Santa also brought a new kitchen, a giant crane, lincoln logs, a bed for the baby dolls and so much more!
Christmas dinner was spent at my mom's house. Grandpa, Grandpa Don, Uncle Kyle and Cara (Kyle's girlfriend) were there. Once again, Mark and Addison got so many presents, including a train table! Needless to say I have had to rearrange and reorganize the playroom. Jason and I each got a new North Face coat too! Yippee!
The month of Decemeber came and went before I could take a breath. We had Mark's Christmas program and party at school. We celebrated Mark's 5th Birthday! (Still can't believe he's 5.) And we had Christmas. It's time like that when you think they will never get here and then they are gone in a flash. (Good thing Uncle Bradley is around to help take pictures!)

Mark's 5th Birthday!
We celebrated Mark's 5th Birthday on December 20th! We still can't believe he is 5 years old!! Time flies, for sure! All Mark wanted for his party were for his friends to come to his house. So after trying really hard to convince him to have his party elsewhere, we had 10 kids come over to celebrate. Needless to say, our house was a bit full and it was raining outside, but Mark had so much fun and really enjoyed his party. We had a treasure hunt, pin the nose on Mickey, pizza, a pinata, presents and cake!
