Christmas!!!

We had 3 fabulous Christmas celebrations..well, I guess 4 including our little family’s!  I, however, have become the world’s WORST about taking pictures.  I have GOT to get better!  Luckily for my family’s 2 Christmas’s I have Teresa and Brooke who I can steal pics from. 

First up, Mimi and Pappy England’s house! 

Puppy from Jerred’s Aunt.  Adlee LOVED it!

Getting the hang of opening “pwesents.”

Reading with Mimi.

This is back at home showing her loot.  She got furniture and accessories for her dollhouse that she got for her birthday!

Next up: Santa came to our house!!

Adlee got all kinds of furniture for her babies, plus some extras with her stocking!

Timer family shot , give us a break we just woke up.

Wiley Christmas

“And I am done, got what I wanted.”

James’s loot, well not ALL of it :)

More dollhouse stuff!

Probably more for me than Adlee, her first American Girl doll.  Just an itty bitty baby!

“A Dora Adventure Hut?!?!  Mark and Teresa you are the BEST!!”

“Thanks for making me a new blanket MeeMaw. Mom this Christmas is wearing me out, I need to go to bed now.”

Grandad went to Jared.  Nice work!

No time was wasted, the Dora hut had to go up.

Lydia got a DS, Adlee is helping.  Sweet Lydia just lets her!!

Christmas in Texas!

On the day that we left for New Braunfels we had an ultrasound at 8 AM.  It was the day we found out we are having another GIRL!!  We didn’t tell anyone on my side until we got down there, and then we let Adlee tell!!  It was really fun that everybody was together for it.  It made it more special for me. 

But, because of this I forgot my good camera.  We had rushed around that morning and got everything but the camera.  I had my little one and I was also able to get pics from other people.

Here is Adlee getting her back rubbed, one of my favorite things there too :)

We were able to open presents at Roger and Amy’s house.  Super fun because they have toys for everyone!  It was also a beautiful day outside, so we spent a lot of time there!

Opening Presents.

Woo Hoo a Tricycle!!

We still haven’t quite got down how to drive it yet, but she’s workin’ on it.

The big girls and Ryan got skates!  Of course, Grandmommie didn’t want Adlee to feel left out.

Jerred played in Ryan’s room a lot of the time.  He was saying how our girls won’t have car toys, so he had to get it out of his system!!

Jerred also played troll, and locked the kids up in the fort to eat their toes. 

Ryan decided he wanted to be a troll too.

Grandmommie and her greats!

And I will leave you with the cutie outfit Grandmommie got Adlee for Christmas.  How cute is that?!?!

Welp, she tried.

We bribed her with a cookie, and really talked him up.  She said she was ready, but it just wasn’t in her.  She gave him a high five and was okay…until she sat in his lap.

So we sat with her and she tried to not cry.  She even told Santa thank you through her tears when we were finished.  That night when I was getting her ready for bed I asked her about her Santa visit and she said, “I cwied Momma.” 

Adlee is 2!!

But first she was Abby Cadabby for Halloween.

I will apologize for the lack of blogging later, now I apologize for my non-photogenic child.  This girl will NOT smile for a camera!

She actually loved getting dressed up and pretending to be Abby Cadabby, she did much better than I thought she would.

Now onto my big girl, not sure I am ready for this…

This is how she looked for her big day!  It was a Wednesday so we all worked and Adlee went to preschool.  Mrs. Amie bought her cupcakes so her and her little friends got to celebrate and they sang to her.  I got pictures sent to my phone that day…I am SO thankful for how Amie takes care of her!!

 

We had a family party for her the following week when everyone could come.  She would DEFINATELY not stand still to have her picture taken that night!

She had a very fun birthday!! 

Not to upstage Adlee’s big birthday or anything, but she is now going to be a big sister!!! This is why the lack of blogging, the pure exhaustion has taken over my body and these fingers just don’t quite  type like they use to.  Okay, maybe that is a bit of an exaggeration.    Baby England 2 due June 2, predicted in May!!!

Adlee’s Many Looks

We like to dress up around here.  Here are just some of the things you might see Adlee in if you were to drop by on any given day.

(Thanks MeeMaw for the Del City Cheer uniform!!)

And this was morning for church.

Thanks Mimi for thecowgirl boots!!!

She is getting very particular about what she wears and when she wears it.  She is very strong willed about things and we are seeing more fits about clothes these days.  Man, the teenage years will be a blast…
