Brandon and I had so much fun putting out her stuff from Santa. We just knew she was going to love, love, love her Crayola Creativity Art Station and she did. She loves to color! While she is coloring she always sings "color, color, color" as she is coloring and it's pretty cute. When we were putting the art station together, we were mimicking her in anticipation of many moments she would "color, color, color".
She was outside with Brandon the other day and I was in the house. We both heard her saying "color, color, color" but didn't really think anything of it until Brandon went to check it out and found her with a stick, "coloring" the side of my car! Luckily it didn't make any marks, but you certainly have to keep an eye on her. She colored the pantry door this weekend. I quickly gave her a wipe and made her clean it up which wasn't much of a punishment because loves wiping up and sings "clean, clean, clean" as she does it!
Anyway, back to the most wonderful time of the year...she still had to open gifts from my mom, her Nana. Here are a few pics from the rest of our celebration.

I got a very nice camera for Christmas which I'm really excited about and hoping will inspire me to blog more regularly, you know, when you have a fabulous camera that takes beautiful pictures, you want to share them. Unfortunately, Addison isn't real happy about my new toy. She gets pretty tired of my constant lens in her face. I have to beg and plead for a cheese at times but often resort to just asking her to show me her teeth and this is what I usually get.

I guess that's all I'll bore you with for now...oh wait, one more thing. Much to my surprise, I have to admit, I think my favorite gift was the toy pink baby grand piano from CC and Uncle Donnie. When I first saw it I just thought good Lord, what in the world! I told Chelli she was going to have to keep it at her house. But I will say she loves it which means I love it. It has a microphone and for now, it's stationed right in the middle of our living room. Occasionally she will walk over to it, turn it on and belt out the ABCs or Happy Birthday loud and proud and it's awesome!
You can't really understand her because she essentially eats the microphone when she sings but she is singing happy birthday to baby Jesus and it's so fabulous. I have about 15 videos just like this from different days on my cell phone but will spare you anymore.
Here's an iPhone shot of my fancy new camera...here's to more blogging with beautiful pictures from my fabulous new camera!

I'm pretty excited about a project I'm working on at the house this week and hope to share about it here when I've finished! Also, in case you didn't notice, she's pretty much obsessed with Minnie Mouse right now so we are in the progress of planning a Minnie themed second birthday party...stay tuned!
