Bringing in the New Year

This year we brought in the New Year in style with a dance party. Addi really enjoyed herself and then didn't want to go to bed. We shouldn't have let Addi dance with Tito, because now she follows Tito around yelling dance dance. Here is a little taste of what our dance party was like.

Happy New Year and good luck with your new year resolutions!

A Very Merry Christmas

We had a very merry Christmas here in CT. This was our first Christmas by ourselves. I thought I would be sad not being with family, but while I missed them just having the 3 of us was very relaxing. Addi got up at about 8:30 am and didn't quite know what to think about all the presents under the tree. She took her time opening her presents and had to stop and play with each present as she opened them. It took her about 2 hours to open all her presents we had to even take a break to eat breakfast. Later in the morning we skyped my parents so that we could be part of the call to my brother on a mission. The rest of the day we played and took a nap and then went over to some friends house. Over all it was a very nice relaxing Christmas. Enjoy Addi's Christmas video.

What are you doing this Independence day?

It was just Christmas, so why am I so concerned about the 4th of July? Well I think about the 4th of July almost everyday lately, because we are expecting a lot more than fireworks this 4th of July. That is right, Sorensen Baby #2 is on its way.

Merry Christmas

Gotta love the messy hair Christmas morning opening presents look.

Dad I'm Busy

Jared put Addi on the potty went to get something in the other room and came back to find Addi reading a dental magazine while sitting on the potty.

One week until Santa comes

I am sure you have all been dying to know what we have been doing for our days of Christmas activities. Well they have consisted of col col (coloring) in a Christmas coloring book and playing with nativity paper dolls both sent by Grandma Peggy thanks grandma. On Tuesday Mommy was so busy sewing and just left Addi to her playing when all of a sudden Addi brought me a Toy still in the box that I had never seen before asking for help. Apparently she had found a wrapped present from Great Grandma Keep under the tree and decided to unwrap it. Since I still had more sewing to do and I could just take away this fun new toy she found I helped her take it out of the box. It was a talking purse and she loves it. Thanks Great Grandma. I guess we won't be putting anymore wrapped presents under the tree. The funny thing is that when Grandma Peggy sent her presents that she was suppose to open before Christmas she just carried the wrapped presents around and wouldn't let any unwrap them, I guess she got the hang of unwrapping presents.
Yesterday we went to the dollar store to get a couple of things and Addi started picking things out and telling me they were for daddy so I let her do a bit of Christmas shopping and she did a pretty good job. Since I don't want to spoil the surprise I wont tell you everything that she picked out, but one thing she did pick out was some m&m's and she went around the store telling everyone they were for daddy. Maybe daddy eats to many m&m's if his 20month old daughter knows to get him some at the store.
Today we went to the library and picked out a Christmas movie to watch. Addi enjoyed watching Mickey's Christmas Carol last night on TV so we got Mickey's Christmas sing-a-long. I don't think Addi enjoys my singing to much. When I was singing she came over and stuffed some fruit snacks in my mouth and then when I started singing again she started singing. That is why daddy sings her bedtime song to her and not mommy.

The sixth day of Christmas

Wait what happenened to the fourth and fifth day of Christmas? Well for the fourth day addi got to open a new Christmas board book and on the fifth day of Christmas we hung candy canes on our tree, well most of them were eaten, but 3 of them made it to the tree. So now on to the sixth day of christmas where I traumatize my child. Yes I made her sit on santa's lap. Addi has never been afraid of strangers she would go to anyone who wanted to hold her. Lately as in the last week or so she has started to shy away from strangers which is a good thing, but not right before meeting Santa.

When Addi heard some jingling bells she started walking torwards them to see what it was and then Santa came around the corner and she turned and ran screaming. When daddy tried to sit her on Santa's lap she would scream, but me being a mean mom said just sit her on Santa's lap so I can get a picture. Every kid has one of those screaming Santa picture right? While I got my picture I may have traumatized her for life.
