The holidays have come and gone

We had a wonderful Christmas break full of eating, traveling, opening presents, and spending quality time with family. Andrew took off of work the last week so we were able to get some things done around the house but more importantly just hang out. On a typical day, he leaves the house long before we are awake and gets home right around dinner/bath/bedtime. It was awesome having him home with us. 

Addie loved Christmas but did not love opening one present after another. Who would have thought?! She wanted to play with each toy that she opened. I guess that means we will just have to limit the presents next year...

I'm not even going to talk about the day and a half we wasted trying to potty train a child that's not ready...what a joke! At least we are learning how to parent together...I wouldn't want to be married to a "know it all," ha!

Little Rock, Greenwood, Macon, and Oxford were all visited during the two week break. We had a fabulous pre-New Years celebration with our friends sans Addie. Our blessings are abundant. Great friends, wonderful family, and a healthy child!
