A White Christmas

We went to South Dakota for Christmas this year and had a wonderful time!  Addie got to see snow for the first time (that she remembered), so it was very special for her.  She spent a lot of time outside sledding and playing with her cousins.  She even got to build a snowman with cousins Paisley and Ivy.

We spent Christmas Eve with Grandpa Pat and Aunt Jennie.  On Christmas morning Addie was very excited to see what Santa brought her. We spent the morning with Grandma Kristi and Uncle Jeremy and Chelsea. She of course had no shortage of gifts!  Some of her favorites were a camping set, a stand-up microphone, working appliances for her play kitchen, and a tool set.  Santa even left her a very special note with a picture of a gift he had delivered to our house in Florida - a pet stroller that she had been wanting for a long time!

On Christmas afternoon, we went to the Parsley's farm for a Baumberger family Christmas celebration.  Most of the family was there, and we even had a special visit from Santa.  Addie sat on his lap and was so proud!  She also loved going for rides in the sled behind the "Gator" - lots of fun times with her cousins!

We also made a trip to Great-Grandma and Grandpa Mungers house and had fun with counsins there and played the traditional Bingo game. We also spent an evening with the Schoenfelders and a day at Dean and Sue Baumberger's farm. Addie still loves to see all the animals, especially all the little kitties. She also spent a fun afternoon at Great-Grandma Dorothy's house and took rides on the sled behind the snowmobile. She just loved playing in the snow!!

It was a very memorable trip and makes us think about moving back to South Dakota one day....
