Merry Christmas

As you can see mom and dad were a little more excited then Addyson on her very first Christmas, usually she wakes us up way before we want to wake up but this morning we had to wake her up.

Addsyon first gift was a Rainforest Jumperoo from Grandma and Grandpa Pair. We figured out if we put a couple of books underneath her she will jump a little bit. She doesn't like to stay in there too long but she stays in there a lot longer than I thought she would.

The jumperoo also has many toys on top for Addyson to play with, she just stairs at them now but just give her a little time and I think she will sit there all day and just play. I guess when I was younger I had one of those Jumperoo things that mount between the doorways and I would just sit and bounce forever, hopefully she will do the same thing.

That is it for now but we will add more Christmas Photos a little later!! I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Take Care!! Love, Ryan, Kristi, Addyson, and Riley

Dinner and a movie

While out for dinner with Tim, Kai made his move on Addyson. Really, have you ever seen a cuter kid??? After their little dinner date we allowed Kai to take Addyson on her first real date. I guess they went and saw 'American Gangster' and then just drove around for a little while. He had her back in the house by 10:00 and she had a good time so hat's off to Kai!!

Every time we tried to take a picture of Addyson and Kai, Kai would put his hand up. At first we couldn't understand why but then we figured out that he was protecting her eyes from the bright flash. Now that's a true gentlemen.

Mr. T's Visit!!

Mr. Tim Williams came threw town this past Saturday. He was only here for a couple of hours but we, were able to reserve a dinner date with him. Besides just visiting he came bearing gifts for Addyson. I know it's hard to see but it is a House of Blues T-shirt. At first Kristi thought it was for her but after trying it on she realized it was for Addyson.

As soon as Tim gave the shirt to Addyson, I had to capture her excitement. As you can see she can't wait to put it on and become a House of Blues girl. Really, who can blame her.

After she woke up Tim did get to spend a little time with her. I'm not positive but it looks like Tim is a natural at this father hood thing!!!!

The Christmas Story

Every time Kristi and I get Addyson ready to go outside, she reminds me of that kid in 'The Christmas Story' Where his mom dresses him up and he can't even move a muscle. I just have to laugh every time we go somewhere.

Like Father, Like Daughter

I know most of you will think I set this up but I swear to you that I did not. I think it's safe to say that we all have our little quirks, one of mine is that I will sit and walk around the house with my socks half on/ half off. Lately, I have noticed Addyson has been wearing hers the same way. Usually it's when she is sitting with me on the couch asleep, so I can't get up and take a picture because it will wake her up but today it happen and I was able to get a picture of it. I'm sure you all will respond by saying "Hey Stupid, she's not wearing them that way, there just falling off." to all of you, I say "YOUR WRONG, SHE'S LIKE HER DAD!!"

Snowflake Lane 2007

On Sunday, Addyson, Kristi, and I went with some friends to Snowflake Lane in Bellevue. It was raining but it was still a lot of fun. We started out at the Tuomisto house, were we ordered a couple of pies. (that's for you Ryean-Marie) for the rest of you none New Yorkers that's pizza. We then drove to Bellevue to watch the big show. I can't wait till Addyson is a little older so she can really enjoy the festivities. We then went to Macy's and bought some Martha Stewart sheets (400 count) because our dryer broke with our sheets inside making me REALLY, REALLY, MAD. As you can see a big night out for the Gamradt family

Bath Time

I know, I know!! It has been awhile since our last entry, sorry about that. I also know that we already had a entry with Addyson taking a bath but it's crazy on how much she LOVES taking baths. It's also still amazes me on how much she kicks when she is in the water. In fact I think she might be half Sun Fish/half human. I did take a picture of her feet in the water but as some of you know, still pictures freeze an image so it's hard to see the movement but I hope you enjoy them anyways. I also added a picture of her in her cute towel.

Osh Kosh B'Gosh

I'm always amazed on how many cute outfits we get as gifts. I'm also amazed on how many outfits Addyson has already out grown and didn't even get a chance to wear. We received these overalls from my sister-in-laws parents, Gary and Marie Nelson and we absolutely love them!! Addyson looks like our little helper when she wears them. I think she will either become a carpenter, a small engines teacher, or a dental assistant. OK, wearing overalls really has nothing to do with being a dental assistant but I had to give Marie a shout out...if you know what I mean.

Snowy Wonderland!!

Addyson was able to experience snow for the first time today. Everything was going great until Kristi beamed her in the face with a snow ball and yelled, "HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT!" I want everyone to know that I don't condone that behavior and I feel it is very inappropriate for a mother to do that to her little baby. I also tried to teach Addyson how to shovel the drive way but she wasn't haven't any of that either.
