When Linda, Addie and Camryn came to visit in January, we got to have Christmas all over again! They even came earlier than expected and stayed longer, too which was the best present of all!
Addie discovered that some of my Christmas decorations made for some pretty cool toys. Those clearance buys always have more than one use! She liked to play with my acrylic ice cubes, otherwise known as "ice that isn't cold."
Unlike some of my other friends, Linda wasn't afraid to decorate my fantastic frozen cheesecake on a stick. Addie decorated her own, too.
Then the gift opening began...
I gave Addie a selection of dress-up clothes since she always wants to wear dresses and jewelry and likes to look at herself in the mirror. This is her Snow White wig which didn't stay on very long. The Cinderella wig lasted even less time, but she liked to see it in the "mirror, mirror on the wall."
I hope the Cinderella shoes were worth the effort, because Grandmom and Grandad had a time getting them on Addie's feet. I guess Cinderella did always have trouble with her shoes though. Addie was quite adept at walking in heels.
Linda's presents were opened in a group and had to be enjoyed by all in her corner. I love this picture because of Addie's scrunched nose smelling the lotion and Camryn's screaming face.
It's a copy of my leaf picture...exciting...
Now this IS exciting. Just goes to show that cute grandkids can get away with anything! Do you think my dad would don a lei for anyone else and leave it on long enough for a picture? ...and that's almost a smile!
Addie loved her many pairs of sunglasses. She even liked to wear several at one time!

Love the new post! It's about time we made your 'Christmas' blog! And you were right--I do have a dang good photograper---aka: Janet Kaye Witter! I'm hoping to call you soon--maybe next week after Danny goes back to work--this week is pretty much ALL 'Houk family Danny's-done-with-school bonanza week!'
