Christmas was a beautiful day for our family....There is just something about celebrating our Savior being born....My mother had her home all decorated beautiful for this special day.....She has always made Christmas extra special for her family and I was so blessed at all she did:) ....she made us home made clam chowder and shrimp and crab crasants and if you had her yummy food you would know its a super big treat:) she even made special food for our kids to eat:)
Our day was filled with blessings after blessings of gifts...Its always so fun to watch my kids open gifts....it reminds me so much of the excitement of being little and not being able to sleep the night of Christmas eve.....my kids were up at 3:30am and woke us up and said "mom get up..we are ready to open gifts" We were like " No...kids its actually not time go back to bed...its in the middle of the night" Thank God they fell back to sleep until 5:30am lol

Christmas with Grandpa and Grandma Reid was a sweet blessing as well...We enjoyed a yummy casserole that my grandma made....and it was a recipe that my great grandma made I believe when she was young...I received a little glass figure that was in my great grandmothers kitchen and that was special as well as a frame of me when I was a baby...my grandma made the frame...when I was just a baby....We had a nice time together
Addison has been horse back riding for a year now and she has been doing a great job at building her skills and confidence in riding as well....she has already fallen off a horse this year and has experienced a horse running with her on it as she kicked it and made it up and go....she didnt like either of these happenings and was very upset....but her horse trainer who is very great with children rebuilt her confidence in riding even though it set her back 2 months and her trainer started back on the horse she first started on at day one and worked her back up to the horse she left off on.....she has been learning to groom the horse and take care of her horse before riding and she has the basics of rididng she is now learning to trout with the horse and very much enjoys it.....I love watching her ride and her horse trainer told us she loves watching addison ride horses because she is in a diffrent world.....I cant agree more...from day 1 she has this "WAY" when she gets on a horse and it priceless every time.....
