New Years 2011

This is how everyone should bring in the New Year, relaxed

Randi capturing Landry at the Hospital

Randi and Chris came by the hospital to see Miss Landry and Randi snapped a few pics of Landry.  Look at those cheeks - so big.  I just squeeze them every chance I get.  Thanks Randi.  Not sure why they are showing up so small but when I try to make them bigger the piscals are blurry.

Howell Christmas

My side of the family had Christmas on Dec. 18th in New Boston, and unfortunately we weren't able to make it.  We thought it would be best for our little family to stay at home with the new addition and recovering from surgery.  So my parents, brother's family, and my grandparents came by the house the Sunday after Christmas to open gifts.  I have never gone without seeing my family at Christmas so I was so excited that they came to Dallas.

Both girls were worn out from all of the celebrating

Griffin Christmas 2010

This is the only picture that we got at Jordan's parents' house at Christmas.  I told myself I would be better at taking pictures this year but it was harder than I thought with a baby in my arms.  Maybe next year.

Christmas 2010

 Addison's Barbie Power Wheels from Santa that she hates.  She doesn't like it when she pushes the button and takes off.

Addison woke up at 9:00a.  We just knew she would be up early but we waited and waited and finally she awoke.  Addison's not a morning person, so we have to let her get her glass of milk every morning and sit with one of in the recliner while watching cartoons (preferrably Mickey Mouse).

 Crayons for the bathtub

Landry just went with the flow

We can't forget Buddy.  He made it another year.  He'll be 10 years old in May.

"Look Dad at all the dishes you're going to get to eat off of"

Landry meeting Nina & Papa

Jordan's grandparents came by the house to meet Landry for the first time.  Landry is their 3rd great grandchild.  If you look to the right of the picture, you'll notice how excited Addison is that they are there.  Addison goes over to their house 1-2 times/week.  We're so glad that our girls will get to know their great grandparents and enjoy spending time with them.  Addison already has her own drawers in the kitchen and knows where the cookies are at their house.  

Landry: 12/12/10

Our family has been so blessed to have my mom come in not once but twice within two weeks to help us out (entertain Addison).  I can't imagine not having her by my side to get started on the right foot.  She allowed me to sleep, cooked dinner, cleaned the house, etc.  When she left I was mentally and physically ready to take on two under two.  Thanks Mom!  Us girls love you! 

Dad's got his hands full

Can you tell, they're already Daddy's girls?
