Adamson Family Pictures

At Thanksgiving we had some family pictures taken. Rebecca  was wonderful to work with and we loved everything she did! Here are a few of my favorites.

Overheard at my house

This conversation took place between Adelyn & Mr. Duck. Mr. Duck is played by Mommy. A: Hi, Mr. Duck! MD: Hi, Adelyn! A: Do you swim in da ocean? MD: No, I fly in the air and swim on a pond. A: Oh, why? MD: Because that's how God made me.  A: God made me too!  MD: Yes he did. He made you very special! A: Tank you! (Insert pause for a moment of thought) Jesus is my best friend!

That's a wrap!

In case you didn't guess, I haven't exactly rushed into the New Year. But now that it's January 20th I've got face the facts. The rest of the Christmas decorations must come down! And...I've got to say goodbye to 2010. I saw several people who reviewed their year or favorite blog posts. I'm taking a little different approach. This post is going to cover the things that I meant to blog about in 2010 and never did... Adelyn's first trip to Disney It truly was magical! She was a little overwhelmed at first with the loud music and train that Mickey arrived on, but once we got inside she was ready to go. We rode Dumbo, Peter Pan, Winnie the Pooh, the Carousel, and Nemo. We explored the Swiss Family Robinson Tree House and then there was the steam train. We rode it at least four times. My favorite experience with her was watching the Electrical Light Parade. She wanted me to explain every float to her and if I took a break she would say "splain dat to me, m...

Christmas Festivities

We started off our Christmas celebration the weekend before in Kissimmee with my family. There was a birthday cake for Jesus, lots of presents, and have you heard? We have two new family members. Darla and Rob adopted Louis in November and Corrie and Chris got engaged on December 14th! We got to meet Chris's family that same weekend and even squeezed in wedding dress shopping. On Monday night Matt, Adelyn, and I packed up and headed to KY. We stopped in Tifton, GA to spend the night and drove the rest of the way on Tuesday. Our trip up went great! There was no crying, wailing or gnashing of teeth. We didn't even have any potty accidents or traffic and Adelyn only watched about an hour of a DVD. It could not have gone better! Yay for us! We got to have a white Christmas in Owensboro and it was so beautiful! Of course it was a first for Adelyn but also a first for me too. I'm such a FL girl.   We also got to hang out wi...

Christmas Cookies

Adelyn was quite the busy baker of Christmas cookies this year. First we went down to Gran & Pop's to make Christmas Tree cookies. These were my favorite growing up and Adelyn really loved them too! The red candies aren't part of the original recipe, but Adelyn was very precise in the placement of each one. Once we got to KY Adelyn helped Grandpa make sugar cookies. This is a three part process and Adelyn was there for each step of the way. Decorating is a family affair. The most prestigious cookie to decorate is the angel. This year there were only 2 angels and Uncle Ryan and Adelyn were the chosen decorators. Please notice the precision with which Ryan is placing his sprinkles. And yes, those are tweezers. Here's Adelyn decorating her angel. I'm not really sure why the photographer didn't capture her head, but whatever. Aren't they pretty!
