Update and Christmas(es) with the Siglers!

Cousin Tara got ABC these pj's for Christmas. WE LOVE THEM! and I love her curls in this picture!

Longview's Santa was a little creepy looking this year. I don't blame ABC for trying to get out of there!

Christopher and I were not sure that we were going to make it to College Station for Christmas. So, the Saturday before they came up to have Christmas with us!

Addison needed Pappy to help her feed her babies with her new bottle from Honey and Pappy!

She also needed a little help from Honey. She would go back and forth between the two of them.

Pappy took her out to play on the trampoline, she LOVES playing on the trampoline.

Love this one since you can see my dad in the middle of playing peek-a-boo!!

Pappy told her "no!" What a sad face... I mean look at that lip. Are we in trouble or what!!! (She was trying to eat a wet leaf off of her slide!)

A little "bop"ing to Little Bunny Foo Foo, her new favorite song!

Watching Baby Einstein on her little DVD player from Christopher's parents. It's suppose to be "indestructible" but when there is no HOLD or LOCK button little fingers can always press stop or pause.

We ended up being able to go to College Station when the rest of my family was there. We went Tuesday and came back on Wednesday. I was so glad! I love seeing my siblings!

While we were there, we got out presents in the mail from my Grandma in Missouri. There were lots of peanuts with the presents so of course we had to play in them!

The playing ABC enjoyed the most was in Mary Beth's truck!

Driving with Rachel.

Giving Haygen some love! Mark named his dog Haygen so he could call her "hay" for short...

We came back quickly from College Station and had our Christmas at our house before heading to Elysian Fields on Christmas day.

Addison got a water baby and a wall aqua doodle from Santa. My sister got her a bubble machine for the bath tub. So... Christmas Eve Addison had some GREAT bath time!!

ABC trying to find her baby in all the bubbles!!

Love these bubbles! Always get stuck on her head and she thinks it's so funny!

Collier Christmas

Last weekend we had Collier Christmas in Elysian Fields. It was fun to get to see everyone... really there were only a few additions that are different than any other time we go to EF!

These first few pictures were before Collier Christmas, they are some of my new favorites:

"Mom, I promise I'm only touching the branches!"

"Aren't I so beautiful!"

Watson Randall Collier came over to play the day before Collier Christmas. I was so glad he did. We have been out of town, sick and pink eyed since he was born. We were glad that he came to play!

Addison liked to pat his back and say "baby"

Kallen and Kelsey stayed the night with us Friday night. Kallen won Addison's heart Saturday morning... all it took was a blueberry muffin and a book! I love her face in this one!

When we got to Nonna and Grandad's house she had to play in the tunnel.. of course!

And talk on the phone. Aunt Kelsey was nice enough to share hers!

We also took a picture for Russ and Kim's Christmas card.

at the party I took this picture of Addison and Maggie Sue. You can't deny that these two are cousins... or little Collier's!

Hanging out with Nonna

Christopher and little Watson. His camo shirt said "Shhh, I'm hunting for Santa!" SOOO cute.

Everyone listening to Mimi tell tales of China!

Addison loves to pull tissue paper, anything that comes in a bag with tissue paper is great. Actually, just the bag and tissue paper are great, she hasn't exactly figured out that there are things inside for her.

More bags!

Today we had our 15 month appointment with Dr. Neff. More shots, plus her flu shot #2. Last time she was terrible with the exam but a champ with the shots... not so much today. Great with the exam but was a sissy with the shots. Oh well. I felt bad for her. It was a new nurse and she did the shots E-x-t-r-a s-l-o-w, so I KNOW they had to hurt. Her stats... she was in the 25% percentile in everything! Good thing I call her my "little monster!" She's my perfectly proportioned little monster!

Thanksgiving ... Finally!!

First of all... my cousin Melynni Yarber had her 2nd child, Leah, last Thursday. They believe that she has Turner Syndrome, after a day they took her to Children's Hospital in Little Rock. It will take a few weeks to get the results back on Leah's test. Please pray for them; Leah, Melynni, Clint and their 2 year old son Joshua as he is spending time away from his parents.

-----------------------------------------------------

Here is what we did in Bryan during Thanksgiving... It's taken me so long to update these since we had 2, yes count them 2 rounds of pink eye! AWESOME!

Mark wanted me to take this picture since we have so many of all of us like this when we lived in Kansas.

Mark's version of a bath...

He took Addison out to see the cows... she LOVED it. I was NERVOUS!

She found Melissa's old "Henry." Addison loved Henry, she fed him, rocked him and put him to sleep. She's going to be such a good mommy some day!

She got to help Pappy feed the horses! She had so much fun... she did discover that they don't take their food as easily as Chutch!

Pappy gave her a rope to play with. I'm sure one day Mark will teach her all kinds of rope tricks!

Walking to the barn with Daddy.

Blogger is not allowing me to put pictures in the right order... Mark was getting on to Addison for pulling on the throttle.

Like I said she loved the throttle at one point she revved it up and my dad came out of the barn and yelled at my brother, when he told him it was Addison he was okay with it. Mark did have to turn off the tractor several times.

This was when we first put her on the tractor, LOVED it!

Her favorite game... peek-a-boo under a blanket...

She loved Mary's dog, Rachel. Wasn't her pink eye great!

Her and Pappy on the horse... I can't remember which one this was. I'll be honest... he had her at the other end of the arena, I was so nervous I made up excuses for them to come closer and then to get her off of there.

My Papa took her outside after lunch and they played on the car... interesting choice but she had fun! Her favorite part... windshield wipers!

Another one after Pappy gave her the rope... sure wish I could put these in order.

So... Christopher, Mary Beth and I got into a movie before we left, I heard Addison and Honey in the kitchen... this is what they were up to... Corn Meal... we had to take another quick bath before getting on the road.

So much fun to pour!

and taste!! YUMMY!

Collier Christmas pictures from this weekend to come!!
