Christmas in FL


Mommy and Madison left December 13th for our big adventure in Florida. Daddy flew in the following weekend just in time to play for the week of Christmas. Madison had a great time playing with Uncle Matthew and Daniel and Aunt Abby. She even learned how to say Abby's name before we flew home on January 7th.
It was nice to see and play with our friends Kendall, Reagan, and Ava too. It's amazing how much all these kids are GROWING together! We even got to go with Kendall and Tina to Kindermusik as their guests for the day. Madison had so much fun learning about new instruments and stomping around.
Christmas was a blast- watching Madison open all her gifts (and everyone else's too!). When we weren't looking she started taking the paper off any gift in arms reach. Madison thought the goal was to take every single piece of paper off the boxes. She was more interested in removing tiny bits of paper than most of her gifts. Her shopping cart from Uncle Matthew was a hit though. He taught Madison to take all the cans and food out and sit in it so he could push her around the house. The laughs and squeals were great!
Overall it was a great holiday for Madison. She got a little baby from Cousin Rick and Leona, a big beautiful baby (to help prepare her for her new little brother or sister) from Aunt Dar and Uncle Mike, a puff the magic dragon book and animal, a matching apron with Mommy for cooking, cute clothes from Gramm and Grandpa and Aunt Nancy, lots of warm clothes from Mommy and Daddy, fun new toys and wooden puzzles from Gramm, Grandpa, Mommy and Daddy...whew the list goes on and on....
Now that we are home, Madison loves to play with her Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Kitchen from Grandma and Grandpa Shemenski.
It was such a great time for our entire family. We are blessed to have such generous extended family and friends.
