Christmas & V-Day...in March...Oops

So, I was a bad blogging Mommy, and I never even documented Madison's first Christmas celebrations...or her first Valentine's Day. Oops. I think I put some pics in FB, but I want to be sure to have it here, too.

How cute is she?! I love this picture because she looks so mischievous! I can't believe she was only about 4.5 months here...

BAKING

Anyways, Madison started her holiday season off baking with Grandma Tracy and Great Grandma Bev. Bev bought M her first apron. Isn't it SO cute?!

She enjoyed looking at everything and watching how things worked...

She really wanted to eat the cookie I'm pretty sure.

Although, in the end, I'm pretty sure G'ma Tracy and Great G'ma Bev had even more fun than Madison! :)

CHRISTMAS EVE

We celebrated Christmas with Josh's side of the family on Christmas Eve as we always do. We started off at Grandma Tracy's house for snacks and presents. She got an awesome jumper seat and a super cool Cadillac walker.

This picture cracks me up because we all look so happy while poor M is SO sad. In her defense, this was about 30 minutes past her usual nap time...

Madison LOVED the wrapping paper the best!

After this, we headed to Great Grandma Bev's for dinner and then church, and then a visit from Santa!

It was a fantastic night. She was great during church, and only let out one squeal of excitement during the singing at the end of the service since she loves singing and was entranced by all the candles. We had a great day, and of course M was spoiled by all our wonderful family with lotsa clothes and toys!

CHRISTMAS DAY

The next morning, we spent Christmas Day at home with Grandpa Dave and Uncle Brandon. The day started off with the Grandpa Dave getting dinner in the oven. He was making ham and scalloped potatoes...with help from Josh and Brandon peeling potatoes...and Madison 'helped' too. Of course I wasn't in the kitchen. :) Of course Josh thought it was funny to put a knife in her hand...

Once dinner was in the oven, we opened presents.

Grandpa read a book to Madison that got from Santa.

Grandpa got Madison an awesome high chair, and Uncle Brandon put it together. Thank you, thank you!

Of course, she also got some awesome toys and clothes from Grandpa as well, and her first amazon gift card from Uncle Brandon. It was a great day of being with family and just relaxing. :)

Madison was certainly very spoiled this holiday season...as expected. :) It was wonderful to be with family and friends and celebrating with our baby girl certainly brought back some magic to the holiday season for us.

VALENTINE'S DAY

Our little sweetheart on her first Valentine's Day in an adorable outfit from G'ma Tracy!

She got her first Valentine from Daddy. It was so cute, and I had no idea Josh did that.

So sweet!

And then she discovered her tutu, and the photo session ended shortly after.

Ok, holiday updates are done.
