I'm so Glad When Daddy Comes Home

I'm so glad when daddy comes home, Glad as I can be; Clap my hands and shout for joy, Then climb upon his knee, Put my arms around his neck, Hug him tight like this, Pat his cheeks, then give him what? A great big kiss.
It is no secret that Addi loves her daddy and everyday when he comes home from workit is exactly how the song goes, she claps her hands and shouts for joy. Every morning the first thing she asks me is wheres daddy, so when daddy gets her out of bed it is a grand day. While he may not have gotten a 2 week Christmas break we did get himfor2 long weekends. First 4 days over Christmas and then 3 days over new years. Addi was in heaven. So what do we do when daddy is home for so long?

Put stickers all over daddy.
Play sleeping beauty
And have a tea party.
These are just a few of the things Addi does when her daddy comes home.

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.
