Presents, Presents and More Presents

Daddy and Pop Pop anxiously await getting to open all of the presents!

Mi Mi and Christina are ready to dive in!

Maw Maw, Grandma Mary and Uncle Mark wait patiently!

Uncle Mark sneeks in a quick cuddle with his niece!!!

Uncle Mark and Christina come for a visit

Uncle Mark is showing Maddie the pony that her Granddad Cliff bought for her! She can't understand why she can't get on and go for a ride now!!! I don't think it will be long before she does just that!

Uncle Mark and Maddie enjoying some together time. They bonded quickly...Uncle Mark is a natural! We can't wait for his next visit.

"Look Mom, I got another one wrapped around my cute little finger!!!"

Madeline sure does love her Uncle Mark...as you can see here! I don't know who was more captivated by who? Aunt Christina looks on...you can't tell who the center of most ALL attention in our house is!

We were so excited that Uncle Mark and Christina got to celebrate Christmas with us. Madeline sure did love their visit.

Madeline's First Christmas

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

"Are these all MINE?"

Madeline sitting under her very own living Christmas tree admiring all of the gifts! Daddy bought the tree for Maddie and will plant it in the front yard after Christmas.

Chad, Madeline and Malinda

Merry Christmas!

Christmas photo shoot

Mommy, this is rediculous!!!

I found this snowman snowsuit and had to get it. As you can see, she has some growing to do to fit into it better, but it was so cute, I couldn't help myself!

Frosty and Anne Geddes have nothing on our Madeline!

Ok Mom, I have been patient, but really, a giant snowman? I liked my suit better!!!

"I told you...Enough is Enough!!!"
This is the last one I will sit for.

"Nobody ever listens to me! Here I am sitting for yet another shot, with a polar bear of all things! He better not get me or I am calling my puppy dog!"

"WHOOO IS THAT?"

Family Fun

Maddie and I spent the night with Aunt JoAnn. I am not sure who enjoyed the visit more. This is how the two of them spent most of our visit: rocking and laughing and talking!

This is Madeline's cousin Kristin. She was home visiting from college.

My cousin's Brian and Kristin Klenk and their children stopped by for a visit on the way to Virginia for their holiday vacation. Madeline loved meeting cousins from Michigan!
