January snow storm!

On Friday we were hit with another batch of the white stuff....not as much as the December snow storm, but we still have at least 8 inches or so. It's really difficult to play in because over the top of the snow is about an inch of ice. Hopefully, the ice will melt down so that we can build a snowman!! Enjoy our pics!

A Belated Christmas post...

Contrary to popular belief, the Goodman family has not fallen off of the face of the earth! We've been really really busy lately preparing for Spunky's mission trip, Christmas and we all had a great week off together the week after Christmas. Here's some pictures to sum everything up...




Leaving decorated sugar cookies & eggnog out for Santa! The next morning she went straight over to her table and exclaimed "Santa made a mess"!




I took this picture after Santa made his delivery at our house. Addison recieved a bike, a scooter, a new baby & high chair, an outfit & the pizza that she asked for. In her stocking she recieved some tinkerbell bubble bath, candy, crayons, a coloring book, a bath poof, and jewelery....what more could a girl ask for?? We also gave her some new clothes & a beautiful "Sleeping Beauty" dress & shoes. Spunky gave me some clothes that I wanted, a new Bible,and a gift card to The Gap. I gave him some clothes, a Hollister gift card, and money to get his passport with.


Addison asked Santa numerous times for a pizza & he delivered it!

She loved opening presents!


First Play Date! Addison's friend Lydia from church and dance came over to play. They had a great time playing dolls & dress up!


On New Year's day we took Addison roller skating at the Franklin Skating Rink. She had a blast and did really well!

Not Me Monday...

I haven't participated in a "Not Me Monday", in quite a while, but after the week that we've had a "Not Me Monday" is definitely in order. If you think that I'm crazy, and don't know what I'm doing please head over to www.mckmama.com !

* After the snow had stopped on Saturday, my lovely little one wanted to go outside and I definitely knew where her gloves were, and I did not have to put socks on her hands because you know....things get lost in our house!

* Also because of the crazy snow, I did not get cabin fever so severely and jumped into my Nissan Rogue and backed up out of the drive and tried to get out (especially after my husband was standing in the car port advising me not to back out, because I could get stuck), and I did not get stuck, and it did not take my husband an hour to get me unstuck....oops!

* I also did not come very very close to running out of toilet paper, and I did not have to call my parents to bring us some, because we couldn't get out!

* And lastly.....I did not run out of deodorant and I did not wear my husband's Old Spice instead.

Addison's snowman

The snow is currently dumping down on us...we currently 8 inches of the cold white stuff, and it is still falling. We did get a chance to build this awesome snowman....we may attempt to build a snow family tomorrow!

Addison's Christmas Cookies

One evening this week I decided to let Addison decorate Christmas cookies! We have baked together on many occasions, we actually have a tradition of baking lemon poppy seed muffins every Sunday before church! But this was our first cookie decorating experience!

Before!

She loved the sprinkles!



All done Mommy!



I think that she put about 50 m & m's
on that one cookie!

The finished product!

I think that Addie did a fantastic job on her cookies, we will have to do this more often!

P.S. We have another new post below!

First Snow!

This morning we woke up to a blanket of beautiful snow in our yard! Addison and I had a lot of fun playing in it while Daddy was at a team meeting. Although, when Daddy returned Addison met him at the door, coat in hand to return to the cold! We love snow days!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Today's activities were filled with lots of food, fun and love from our family!

We spent our Thanksgiving with my parents, sister, nephew and my dear nanny. We ate your traditional thanksgiving meal (turkey, sweet potatoes...etc). It was so yummy!

I am so thankful for the Lord Jesus Christ for saving my soul and my precious family. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
