Christmas 2012 with Mamaw and the Blacks


Our first Christmas celebration was with our Burlington crew at my mom and dad's new house.  We were so excited that Mamaw was able to come down!

and Addison was so happy to see Allen...

Caroline was super cute in her Christmas tutu...

all the big boys piled up on Bobby...

Addison getting some Christmas love from Mindy...

Not surprisingly, we cooked spaghetti :)  And for an appetizer, Luke had a bowl of cheese...

The kids could hardly wait to open their presents...The look on Connor's face here is priceless...

Addison getting a little help from Lindsey...those taped boxes are tough...

Stephen helping out the boys...

Addison got all kinds of goodies...a Little People nativity set, her own broom, some clothes, a baby doll carseat, a set of baby doll hair styling tools, and I can't even remember what else...

Landon showing off his "Brawlin' Buddy"...

Mamaw opening her presents...I think she liked her pictures...

Luke trying out his new race track...

Kessler and Peyton...all smiles :)

Broughton didn't care much for presents...he just wanted to take a nap with Uncle Steve...
Mommy was excited, though, that he got lots of diapers!  :)

PaPa, Addison, Shelly, and Caroline...

Brougnton finally joined in on the fun...

And it wasn't too terribly long before he was out again...snuggling with Sue-Sue...

We are so happy that everyone was able to come down to celebrate Christmas, but were sad that they all had to leave so soon!  Here's a picture of Addison giving Mamaw good-bye hugs, as she was trying to pose for a picture...

Can't wait to see you all again, my Burlington peeps :)

Addison's first babysitters

This past Saturday night, Adam and I headed out for the first time without our little "butter bean".  Everyone keeps asking me if I cried, but I knew she was safe with Grandma Jane-Jane and Grandpa Gerald, so there were no need for tears.  Plus, they were babysitting at our house and I knew I'd see her in just a few hours, so it wasn't so bad.  We went to Adam's 10 year class reunion and had so much fun!  There was a great crowd there, at the City Hotel and Bistro.  It was so good to see everyone!  I graduated just one year ahead of Adam, so I knew a lot of people at the reunion too, even though it was for the c/o 2000.  Here are a couple of snapshots...I am hoping to get more pictures from Lorie's camera to add to my blog, but this is all I have for now... Me & Adam: Me & Sarah: Me & Lorie: .....thanks to Lorie, I have a few more pics to share...

I just can't believe it has been a whole year since we were at the hospital welcoming our new baby to the world.  And now here she is standing all by herself... She's still not walking on her own, but has been doing the bear walk a lot lately... She wears 12-18 month clothes, size 3-4 diapers, and size 3 shoes.  She started drinking big girl milk (soy milk) a couple of days ago, so no more formula!  She is still a GREAT eater!  And she still will let the whole world know if her belly is hungry!  She still LOVES to dance more than anything in the world!  She added a new word to her "vocabu
