Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Happy New Year! We've been busy here at the Muller household! Let me catch you up! We had a wonderful Christmas! Addison got a teapot that she loves! She was a little unsure of the presents! I feel sure that next year she won't be confused! Have you had the chance to speak to Caden since um....September? Then you know that all he has talked about it the weedwacker from Toys & Co!! Well...Santa didn't disapoint.

Luckily we were able to drag Christmas out all day! Caden took his time opening presents and then we ate some breakfast and let him finish opening. Before we went to my parents for more Christmas and dinner we let Caden and Addison check out their new toys! It was a very busy but relaxing day!

On the 27th Mimi came for a visit while Pop Pop went hunting in Mississippi! We had a great time. We were busy but had a relaxing visit! Caden and Addison both had a GREAT time playing with Mimi! Caden loved waking Mimi up in the mornings! (We enjoyed it too!)

When Mimi left my dear friend Laura and her family came for a quick visit! Laura and I taught next door to each other. They have since moved to Alabama...we miss them but talk often! Liam and Caden are 5 months apart and Addison and Owen are a short 6 days apart! I loved that Owen called Addison "baby"!

Addison loved hugging Owen! He tried to run from her but she didn't give up...

Caden and Liam had a great time playing! They were so cute sleeping in the bunk beds! Laura and I loved hearing them whisper to each other! We were amazed at how well they played together...they played for hours without one word from them!

She only knows what she's always seen!

Of course AdEliz would naturallly think that you hold a baby while you vacuum! I don't think I've EVER vacuumed without holding her while she's been awake!!

The Living Christmas Tree

This weekend Brian and Caden were both Jesus in the Living Christmas Tree and I have to say I couldn't be more proud of the two of them! I hope you enjoy some of the great pictures from the weekend. If you would like to see more check out our church's facebook page.

AdEliz LOVES popcorn!

Today Addison found a bag of popcorn I was eating for lunch while they were napping. It was pretty full when Caden found it. Next thing I knew Addison was standing at the coffee table eating some too! I went in the kitchen to stir the spaghetti sauce I made and come back to find this! I'm so glad she's now able to climb up in the chair and to help herself to whatever it is she needs up there!

P.S. I do know that that Ad shouldn't be eating popcorn but I've been in the house since Monday afternoon because Caden has had a fever. His fever broke during the night last night and hers started this morning! It was easier to give in after she had already had some than to fight her on it! Shortly after I took this Addison did manage to spill about 1/2 the bag in my chair! She made Emma's day!

She's 15 months and....

Addison is walking everywhere! She is also consistently standing up in the middle of the room. She sneaks and gets ornaments and carries them around! Brian and I are both so thankful for our sweet girl! I'm one lucky Mommy, that's for sure!

P.S. I'm not sure Caden is so excited that she can move a little faster toward his toys but he does think it's cool that we can all hold hands and walk!
