One more post before Christmas...

This month has been busy, but also so enjoyable! Ryan headed out of town for a long weekend, and Ade and I had a blast as we did lots of fun girl things together, including seeing Tangled with Krista!

After Ryan got back into town, we decorated, put up the tree, and yes, put up the tree again after it crashed in the middle of the night!

We enjoyed several birthday and holiday parties, and especially enjoyed Toy Story 3 on Ice (even though mommy got the time wrong and we had to spend 40 minutes in the lobby...). We did NOT buy the $10 cotton candy, but we bought plenty of other goodies while there.

Ade is so enjoying the Goddard School, I could not be happier about our choice to send her there. She is learning so much and having a blast with her new friends and teachers. At her holiday party, the kids treated us to a rousing rendition of Jingle Bell Rock, complete with choreography!

We've been watching countless holiday movies and shows, and enjoying a lot of family time together.

This week the Peich family came to visit, and then we headed to Pittsburgh to celebrate with the Trunzo-Ferrando clans.

The day before we left, we gave Ade her special gift from mommy and daddy - an iPod Touch! She is enamored, and the apps are amazing!

One of the highlights of the trip was Ade teaching all 4 of her great grandparents to use her new technology - how blessed are we that we got to have that experience???

To top it off, it has snowed here in NC not once already this month, but TWICE! True.
