Wade Christmas

So after our little family had Christmas and naps and bags were packed we headed up to Mark's sisters house to celebrate with some more family. Of course I forgot my camera at Marks parents house. He took some pictures on his phone so it might be July, but I will post them at some point.  I did however have the camera ready to go Monday for Marks family Christmas.  We had a great time eating lunch, opening gifts, Lanie got to know her cousins some more, and then later that  night we celebrated Marks 30th birthday!!!!!!

Mark says this is how you drive on the farm(don't worry we were just driving up a lane)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!!!!

Lanie's First Christmas

So Christmas has come and gone, but I am going to post about Lanie's first Christmas. The whole month of December was full of first for Lanie.  The first time she saw a christmas tree, presents, learning about baby Jesus, christmas lights, cookies, and lots of fun family get togethers and parties.  The first christmas Lanie had was at my Mom and Dad's on Christmas Eve.  We got home late that  night and after she was fast asleep I was looking through the pictures from her daycare christmas party and christmas eve and some how pressed the delete all button.  I had a small sad moment and then moved on.  Mark did video tape christmas at my parents so I can post that later, but sorry no pictures.  So then the next morning was Christmas for the little Wade family of 3.

Santa came to the Wade house

I feel like she is saying " Mom & Dad this is so cool!"

Ready to start the fun!

She loves her daddy

Christmas morning nap with mommy :)

It was so great seeing Lanie be so excited and playing with her new toys, but we started our christmas off right with reading the Christmas Story and letting Lanie know that is was Jesus birthday.  (oh and of course Monkey Bread--a Wade family tradition:)

Christmas is almost here :)

Sunday was our Church Christmas service.  They are still having a service on Christmas Day, but it will be very small and short so this Sunday was the big one. Lanie got all dressed up in a pretty dress and I tired to get a picture, but she does not sit still for very long.

Saturday was the Ramsey Family Christmas in IL and we had such a good time.  Lanie got to play with tons of cousins and see Great Grandpa Roy.  Even though the day was a success Lanie had a rough night back at home.  I think the mixture of 6 hours in a car, no real nap, and just out of her element called for a very restless night and a very tired Mommy!

Sunday was Mommy and Grandma Amy's traditional dip and drink Lanie joined us this year and played with Grandpa while we dipped everything you can imagine in chocolate and sipped on wine.  Later Lanie and I came home and she gave some much needed attention to her buddy Mike and then had a much better sleeping night.  Lanie was a happy girl and so was Mommy :)
