Addie's first Christmas

The Rentschs (Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Dan) came to Montana for Addie's first Christmas and we had a blast! We played a lot of games, ate a ton of yummy food, and showed them around Missoula and the surrounding area. Ryan and Dan hit the slopes on Saturday and were welcomed by 2 feet of fresh powder. Dan was loving it being that he has been living in LA for the last 6 years. We ventured out to Paradise, Montana to soak in the Quinn Hot Springs, which are about an hour outside of town. The building has recently been remodeled to include a bikini bar, restaurant, and cabins. It was so relaxing and refreshing to be sitting in 101 degree mineral water with the snow hitting your face. Burr it was cold when you got out!!

Addie really came alive this week!! She is so much more aware of her surroundings and what is going on around her. She can hold her head up now and loves to sit in her Bumbo chair. She loves the cloth animal tails book that Grandma and Grandad McHugh gave her for Christmas. She gets so excited when she looks at the colorful pages. She is making all sorts of adorable noises and laughing all the time. She is fascinated with her hands and tries to put everything her mouth. We are loving all these changes and look forward to all that is to come.

Thanks again Rentschs for making the long trip up here. We loved having you!!
