Decorating the tree...Aidan enjoyed it, but Addison wasn't in the Christmas spirit!

A Christmas wish from Aidan...

Aidan turns 3!!!!

Madagascar Cake

Well, we can't believe Aidan has turned 3! He wanted a Madagascar cake this year and all I have to say is Thank God for McDonald's Madagascar toys! I was getting a little nervous about this cake. We had a little pizza party at our house and Aidan had a lot of fun.

Ms. Addison is also growing very quickly. She's awake a lot more during the day and reacts to things and people around her more as well. She's an excellent sleeper so far and we're very happy about that. She takes a morning nap for about an hour and usually a 3-4 hour afternoon nap. Then she'll go to bed about 9 and sleeps through until 7:30! Of course though, now Aidan has decided it's his turn to start waking up in the middle of the night because he's scared. It's a good thing I sleep with earplugs because sometimes I don't even know he woke up the night before!

We've decorated our house for Christmas and we're slowly shopping. We look forward to a trip to PA for the holidays!

We took the kids to the Richmond Metro Zoo a few weekends ago. Aidan had a lot of fun feeding the animals and Addison slept most of the time. We're all doing very well. Addison is now sleeping about 10 hours at night so we are all catching up on some sleep. I started back to work last week and that's been a very hard transition for me. Luckily, Brad is able to take 2 weeks off at work so he's home right now with the kids. We're looking forward to some time off during Thanksgiving with Aunt Judy, Mimi and Papa. Then back to work for a few weeks and 2 weeks off for Christmas. We'll be traveling to PA and dress shopping with Aunt Laura for her wedding....that doesn't give me much more time to lose the rest of this weight! Looking forward to seeing family over the holidays. Hope everyone is well!

More Virginia Beach pictures from Aunt Laura!!!!

Brotherly love! I thought I'd share a little video. Enjoy!

Addison is a bathing beauty!

It all started with Aidan putting his feet in the water.

Then he fell in...
Then he stripped down to his underwear!

Our trip to Virginia Beach! This past weekend we took a trip to Virginia Beach and met Aunt Laura and Dan down there. Aidan had a ton of fun. He keeps saying he wants to go back "morrow". At first Aidan was nervous of the water, but by the end of the trip, he had no fears. Addison on the other hand slept through most of the beach time. Our big accomplishment of the weekend was talking Brad and Dan into renting a surrey family bike and riding with us. It turned out to be more of a mistake as our legs were killing us on the way back. Oh well, Aidan enjoyed the free ride!
