Addi Kate's Big Top Party Planning...

We spent quite a bit of time over the Christmas break planning Addi Kate's Big Top Birthday Party! 

When this little jewel arrived, Addi was thrilled to stick her head in the holes and pretend to be the lion and then the ringmaster!!!

A high school friend of mine is designing her party cookies this year...aren't these adorable?!?!?

Jilly and I have been working on the games for the party. Here is the crate we are going to use for the Ring Toss game...

Pops made a big 2 for us this year...it's not quite complete in this pic, I added some polka dots to dress it up. Here are the favor boxes for Addi Kate's friends. I think I'm going to fill them up with animal crackers. And the bottom right picture is the skirt that I had made for Addi. Isn't it precious?????

Here is our finished number 2!!! Love the polka dots. 

Daddy and I still have lots to prepare for the party, but it's coming together.

New Year's Eve 2014...

Looking back over 2014 really makes me smile. We had so much fun as a family of three. We celebrated Addi Kate's first birthday, we spent a lot of time out in the sun, in the pool, and at the beach, I got a new job, and we started making BIG plans for 2015.

New  Year's Eve sure does look different with a baby in the picture, but we wouldn't have it any other way.

Addi and her great-Grammy...

Addi Kate had her first experience with sparklers. Can you tell that they were a big hit?!?!

And of course, our greatest gift...our family of three!

Happy New Year from the Knight Family of THREE!!!

2014 Christmas Morning...

Addi had a great Christmas this year! She was blessed beyond measure with all the gifts, hugs, and memories she made with family and friends.

Her little face Christmas morning said it all...

We spent the morning as a family of three and it was very very special.

Addi entertained us by cooking....

Reading her Christmas card from Mommy and Daddy...

Feeding her new babies...

And riding her bike...

Another precious moment over the holidays was this sweet necklace and special note that Addi gave me...

Does it get any better than this?!?!?!

Merry Christmas! 

Christmas Eve...

We spent Christmas Eve at D-ma's house this year. We opened presents from D-ma and from Uncle Mike, Aunt Sue, and Cousin Mikey. We had a great time and devoured some awesome food. Addi and Mikey did a lot of playing and this little girl could NOT get enough of the good times...

This smile and laugh is contagious!!!

Then we came home and got ready for Santa's visit. Addi set out the cookies she baked along with some carrots for Rudolph. We also said goodbye to Missy.

Addi wrote a letter to Santa at school, so we made sure to leave it for him too...

Then after we went to bed, we woke up the next morning to discover that Santa paid us a visit and left Addi some FUN toys!!!

What a blessed Christmas!!!

2014 Pictures with Santa...

Addi Kate was not too sure about Santa this year. She never cried, but it was impossible to pull a smile out her!!! She had the tightest grip on her reindeer and refused to even look at Santa...

Well...maybe next year :)

Last 6 Days of Missy Mistletoe...

Missy did a great job this year teaching Addison all about the true meaning of Christmas. Here are the final six days of Missy's visit this year...

One of Addison's favorite movies right now is the Wizard of Oz...so of course seeing Missy with Dorothy was lots of FUN!!!

I think Day 24 is always going to be our favorite day :)

Thanks for the lessons Missy Mistletoe! We can't wait until you come back next year :)

More of Missy Mistletoe...

Missy had more great lessons for Addi Kate this year. Here are the next six days...

I think Day 17 was a big hit with Addison. She LOVES to sing into a microphone and kept trying to take Missy's microphone from her :)

What will Missy come up with for the last 6 days of December?!?!?
