Addison's first Christmas

This year we spent Christmas at Karl's parent's house. It was a lot of fun to see everybody. Addison had fun meeting her twin cousins that are about 1 1/2 months younger than her. She also enjoyed ripping the wrapping paper off the presents and playing with it.

After Christmas, we went to Grand Junction for my dad's wedding. (Pictures of that to follow.)
My little brother Jake got a robot for Christmas. I thought Addison would be scared by it, but she actually liked it.

Happy Anniversary!

Yesterday was our five year Anniversary! Karl's Mom came and stayed with Addison overnight while we went to Salt Lake. It was so much fun! We went to a little Argentinian restaurant called the Tango and had some fantastic milanesa and South American style barbeque. Then we went to Zanzibar which is a jazz club that has live music every night. In the morning we went back to the Temple we were married in. We got some poor kid to take a picture of us in the freezing cold! Why did we get married in December again? Oh yes, sometimes love can't (or doesn't want to) wait. Anyway, it was a blast. What a great five years it has been!

Hello to one and all, and a Merry Christmas! We just got our pictures back from the Target studio. Here is a little sneak peek.




Yes, her rooster-tail sticks up ALL the time. We've tried everything but hot-glue. That one was still so cute though that it will be on display at the local Target.


Oh man am I a proud dad!

Christmas time

I love this time of year as I am sure most of you do. This is the first time Karl and I have had a real Christmas tree! In the past we only had a two foot tall fake tree that we lovingly nicknamed Kevin. He is on our dresser this year, and the big one is in the living room. Here it is!


Addison does not appreciate being left out of whatever is happening. (This is a nice way of saying she gets mad when I try to put her in her bouncer while I get ready in the morning.) She wants to see what I am doing and the view from the bouncer isn't very good. This is her Dad's solution. I don't know if it will stick or not, but she was happy and it was pretty funny.
