Its official, she FINALLY got her first tooth! She had to started when she was born and they just went back in. Wired I know. So yea, yesterday we noticed it. I an ap excited, we were starting to get a little nervously

Christmas

It is over... The joy is spread, the mess is made and remade, now its time to clean it all up! As much as I love it, there is always a little bit of releif after Christmas is done! My girls were so amazing this year! Addy really is starting to understand the concept of Christmas and it was Ci's first Christmas... of course she loved the paper and boxes more than the presents themselves... go figure. Cute as ever though!

Brad did his usual fantastic gift, this yr it was pearls, gorgeous!

I gave him the ultimate man's Christmas, a big tool box and power tools

Snyder Family party

We do a small get together just the Snyder's and it is always a wonderful time! The kids draw names amongst each other and then buy something for the person they draw. They are always so great about what the pick out for eachother. Definitely cherished memories!

Addy had a fun little birthday! I think she really liked everything she did and of course the things she got. We did her birthday party at Jump-on-it and as my mom said" I can't catch her, she is a streak of green and black" Which you will understand when I get the pictures up. I think all the kids enjoyed it, minus 1 or 2 small accidents. She kept trying to sneak a cupcake, which she was successful with when mom wasn't looking (Thanks Gran Gran and Aunt Nel).

For her actual birthday we went on the Polar Express. She LOVED it! When she saw Santa, she smiled so big and just shook... so cute! Cierra was a big hit too. The group of BYU students in our cart wanted to take her home. She danced thru almost every carol, verrrry cute!

Addy went to the dentist

Addy had her first real dentist visit yesterday. She went last week, hid in the corner and wouldn't even open her mouth. Since she was so uncooperative, they prescribed her a mild sedative called Midazolam, she was pretty hilarious on it. Sadly, it wore off before they got her in because they were pretty backed up. I guess it didn't help that she spit half of the medicine out . (Although, I don't blame her, it tasted horrible!) She is a little bit outgoing and has a mass temper (hummm don't know where she got that one from) and that kind of came out in the end.

She has been cursed with her father's week enamel so she had a small decay spot. Nothing too major, but we wanted to get it taken care of before it got into anything more. Dr Brown was awesome with her. Surprisingly, she handled the drill fine and said it tickled, she was completely OK until he got out the hook thing (whatever it is called) and checked to make sure everything was out. It was on from there. She did come out of it in the end with 3 balloons and a certificate for an ice cream at Artic Circle, and Dr. Brown only ended up with a small bite, a pretty successful trip I think :P
