Happy Holidays Everyone!

It has been a while since our last posting and we apologize so much for that!
So much has happened since October...
Addison's adoption was finalized, it was one of the happiest days of our lives.
She has been growing like a weed and her sweet little personality is really showing. She has been such a little joy during the holidays.

Please enjoy the pictures and have a very Merry Christmas!

Love,
Joel, Angela and Addy

Hello Everyone,

We went and had some family pictures taken.

Addy has been doing great and as you can see she is just such a happy little girl!

We hope everyone enjoys these!

Addison and Daddy having a VERY deep conversation.

I think we were talking about college. :)

Then Addy started telling him a joke.

Then came the punchline...she sure does crack herself up!

Addy's First Hike to Fragrance Lake

Addy taking a little break on the hike to Fragrance Lake.

We still arent sure what she was pointing at but whatever it was...it was funny!

Addy and her friend Macee check out the cool waterfall.

Cousin Tyler helping with keeping Addy entertained at bathtime. She loves visiting Sequim!

More of those priceless smiles!!

Addison had a BIG day today! We went up to visit Chris, Maris, Tyler, Ellie, Rick, Ruth, Rich, and Scarlett up by Mount Baker to hang out and visit and ended up going up to Mount Baker. Once we got there we decided that we just had to go for a hike. Addy handled it like a pro.
