Madi really had the unwrapping thin down. I think her birthday a few weeks before was good practice!

Madi with her stalking looking wide awakeChristmas was a lot of fun this year. We were anxious and excited to get out of the house and away from home after being cooped up so long. We drove to Montrose, Colorado to visit Roger, Dolly, Matt and Jared. The trip was a lot of fun with a full house. This Christmas was the first Christmas all the Shores brothers were together in six years due to overlapping missions. Of course Grandma and Grandpa were happy to have thier only grandchild there as well. Madison had the time of her life considering she got all the attention she desired. She picked up a new trick of going backwards down the stairs which is great, but got really old when that is all she wanted to do all weekend. Dolly and Roger also had a new puppy and he and Madi would take turns chasing eachother and stealing toys from eachother. It was really cute to watch Madi.
