Christmas in Wisconsin

Well when you live away from family sometimes Santa has to come early because we will be visiting them on the 25th. We had x-mas in Wisconsin on Saturday with Addison. We started off our morning with yummy Starbucks drinks (milk for Addison), donuts and bagels. We opened presents and played with everything we got. Addison was excited about her easel, Yo Gabba guitar, kitchen cupcakes that she can draw on, Mickey mouse train and many more things. We then headed off to get her H1N1 second dose-yeah she knows Santa didn't send her that one, but we had to. We went to lunch and then came home for a nice long nap. Jim and I were able to go to Maggianos for dinner and then downtown for a drinks and dessert after looking at the lights. This was our 5th x-mas dinner at Maggianos and it was a little bit sad that it will be our last in Wisconsin. Thanks Aunt Patti for watching Addison while we enjoyed our x-mas tradition.

Yo Gabba Gabba & Breakfast with Santa

While Jim was in Vegas with the guys I drove to IL to spend time with family. On Saturday Addison, Brody, Tara, Grandma S & I went to see "Yo Gabba Gabba". It's was Addison's first show to go see. I was worried she wouldn't sit for it but she surprised me and was entertained the whole time. The show was great. All the kids were singing, dancing and everyone enjoyed the huge balloon drop right over our heads. Thanks Grandma S for the great time.
On Sunday I was planning to visit my parents and go to breakfast. They surprised Addison and I by booking a Breakfast with Santa and one of their favorite restaurants Mill Race Inn. The food was sooooo delicious. The "english" Santa came to every table and talked to each kid. Then they got to see him at the end for a picture and treats. Addison told him how she wants a baby doll. Although her favorite part was when Santa told her he would give her a cookie after breakfast. That was the first thing she ordered when waitress took our order "I want a cookie" she said. My camera died so I have to wait for my mom to send pictures. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa D for the breakfast!

I know I'm a little late posting Thanksgiving but we got a new computer so I had to wait to get things set up with that first. Let's see how much I can remember. We spent Thanksgiving day with the Sostak Family at a wonderful buffet dinner at the Clubhouse. Addison had a blast playing with her cousin all day long before we ate. We then went to my Uncle Joe's house for dessert afterwards. On Saturday of that weekend we celebrated with my side of the family here in Wisconsin. My Aunt Patti had a wonderful feast of food. We played games and had a great time.
