Christmas in Florida

It was nice to get some sunshine in December! We had a great time seeing Grandma, cousin Quinton, Uncle Mike, and Aunt Melissa. 

Christmas at the Wongs

Addison had a blast getting all the attention at Ama and Ayeh's house.  She loves them and her 2 Wong uncles, too! 

Addy and Daddy

Breakfast with Santa

Daddy got to take Addison to see Santa for her very first time. They had a great time watching Chris Mouse, Chilly Willy, Frosty and Santa from a distance. She got a little possessive of the characters when other kids tried to hug them, though. She even pushed one kid! Addison wasn't too sure about sitting on Santa's lap, but she was brave.

O Christmas Tree

Addison really noticed the ornaments this year.

Thanksgiving

Getting ready to eat...

Unlocking the File Cabinet

Addison is fascinated by keys right now.  

Thanksgiving

We went to the Wongs for Thanksgiving. We had a delicious dinner and lots of leftovers all weekend long. Addison had a great time with Ama, Ayeh, and her uncles. She was sad to leave all that attention behind!

Barney taught Addison how to dance. 

Addison has been working part-time at Home Depot during the holidays.  She is the official plier salesperson.  She also likes to wear her snazzy hat on her days off. She thinks she is a rock star.  

Trick or Treating

Addison's first Halloween was very exciting for her. She wasn't sure about it at first, but when she saw other kids outside, she agreed to put on her costume and venture out. She ended up having a blast. She didn't care about getting candy -- she just wanted to wave to the other kids. She growled at a lion walking down the street.

Ode to Flat Bunny

What would we do without him? He's Addison's best buddy.  Here he is through the ages: 

Storytime Halloween Party

Addison dressed up as Flat Bunny for a Halloween party at Storytime at the local library.  She is in the birth to 18 mos class.  There were a lot of other "animals" at the party -- another bunny, 3 lions, a bee, a skunk, a turtle, plus a flower and a referee.  Addison had a great time singing Halloween songs.  I don't have any pics at the library, but these were taken afterward at home. 

Neighborhood Parade Pics

Neighborhood Halloween Parade

Addison hitched a ride in her good friend Weston's cool wagon.  They took this neighborhood parade very seriously -- no time for smiling!  We marched about 2 blocks, and then reached our goal -- pizza and treats!  Addison enjoyed meeting her long-lost monkey sister and a sugar cookie or two.
