Christmas.

My parents came into town for Christmas. Here are some highlights of their trip here.
Addy showed Papa how she tucks you in and makes you sleep with all of her toys.

We went shopping at the outlet malls. Addy rode her first mall train for $.50. She also played the bells to jingle bells with the singing quartet.
Story time with Namma.


We hiked up Mountains Edge park.

We played there for a long time at the park.

We got Chinese take out and had left overs.
Bath time with Namma.
Christmas Eve stories and songs.

Of course a stop at Cafe Rio!
A haircut-
Chocolate.


And resting.All in all we had a great Christmas and we are so thankful for that time that we spent together. We are also very grateful for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ of whom we really celebrate. We loved teaching Addy about the birth of Jesus and having a manger scene that she can play with. As we read the story in Luke 2 we had Addy pick up the characters to the manager scene and add them at the appropriate times. She loved it! We are so blessed.
