Post X-Mas blues

I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but I am quite sad that the holidays are over. I am usually glad to take down the decorations and regain a sense of normalcy, but I have enjoyed this holiday season so much this year. Addison loved looking at the X-mas tree and singing X-Mas songs (we may just have to keep singing them to get a giggle out of her). Our full week in Austin was so much fun with Mama Dee, Papa, Laura, Kril, Declan and Kiera. However, I think Addison had a little radar and could tell that I was in the room with her. So, right about the time my head hit the pillow, the screaming would commence. In that respect, I am glad to be home with little Addie in her very own bed in her very own room. I have had so many things on my brain that I need to blog about, and now I can't think of any, really, except for X-Mas pictures of the loot.


Addison and Kiera...such pretty girls!




Yes, I always look this surprised...


"Look at all my stuff! I love it, and I don't even know what it is!"--Addison


"Is this how you play a harmonica?"--Kiera (check out Declan's facial expression in the background of this one. He did that for every single present he opened, accompanied by a "LOOK WHAT I GOT! IT'S JUST WHAT I ALWAYS WANTED!" Don't you wish adults did that? I think we should start a trend next X-Mas. Anybody with me?)


"No, silly sister. This is how you play a harmonica!"--Declan


I love mommy's scarf!

Be prepared for new pictures of the girl's fat legs. (I do not intend to give her a complex of how fat she was when she was a baby, but really, she has rolls that hang over her knees, come on. That is stinkin cute!)

P.S. I am now in my 4th week of pink eye. I know a lot of people go au natural with the eye makeup, but I feel like I have been thrown into this involuntarily. Even after 2 weeks of drops (and one week for Addison, too) and 10 days of oral antibiotics, I just can't seem to kick this thing. My next step is to douse the house in clorox and start sporting some ski goggles. Yuck.
