December 4th, 2009

We went for a walk this afternoon to find some leaves to play in. Dodge and Addison really enjoyed making piles to jump in and throwing them in the air. Dodge even took a few home to start a new collection to add to his pine cone collection. It was so nice outside I didn't want to come back inside, but Addison had to have her nap. I love living in the desert.

Decorating Grama and Papa Johnson's Christmas tree. Addison was taking them down as fast as we could put them up. Dodge had fun playing with them before putting them on the tree. I think we are going to have the bottom third of our tree undecorated this year, if not, Addison will un-decorate it for us! It was fun to see all the homemade ornaments that Ryan and his brother and sisters made as kids. It is cute to see they still go on the Christmas tree every year.

November 28th, 2009: Going to see Santa

We went to the mall on Saturday to do a little Christmas shopping and we just had to see Santa while we were there. It was so cute, Dodge jumped right on Santa's lap and said "I want a train table, and a play kitchen for my baby sister Addison". When it was Addison's turn to sit on Santa's lap, well, she reacted as most kids do to sitting on his lap... she cried. We tried to get some cute pictures but I think the ones we got really captured the whole experience really well. It was funny.



 
Yeah, Addison totally poked Dodge in the eye in this picture.

We all got together at Grama and Papa Johnson's to make some super cute snowmen pretzels and reindeer cookies. Addison really enjoyed eating the treats while everyone else got really creative. The kids did a really good job and the treats turned out really cute.
