Bought a Jet Sled

I love to fish but when you put the word "ice" in front of it, it loses its appeal. However it does look like a lot of fun. My father-in-law bought a jet sled and an ice house so I believe that may be "ice fishing deluxe" I'll have to try it sometime. The men had so much fun and they caught some pretty great fish.

Christmas 2009

Christmas eve we took a quick trip to Ikea to get Addy a little table and chairs. Then we headed to Nana and Gramps to open some gifts and play with our cousin. Owen and Addy had so much fun this Christmas playing together. Addy calls Owen "Buddy" they had a blast together.







Christmas morning was fun. Addy was pretty excited to see her pile of presents that she could tear into. Owen was still pretty sleepy but as soon as he woke up they went nuts together.




Addyson got a box of "shissues" in her stocking. They are one of her favorite things to play with and she put them right to work.


After we opened toys from Santa we headed to Grammys for the best breakfast ever. It is a serious spread of food and I look forward to it every year. Owen and Addy continued having fun together jumping on the bed and running in the hallway. At one point I couldn't find Addy so I went searching and found her in the bath.





Christmas was so much fun. Santa was very kind to our family, we are so blessed.

Jingle Toes

The girls were painting their fingers and toes for Christmas and Daddy kindly offered his toes for Addy to practice. She did a great job. What a great Daddy.

Like Father...Like Daughter

Trick Treat

Addyson was such a pro at trick or treating. We went with our cousins and they taught her what to do. This little kitty would knock on the door and say "hello" then when they opened the door she would say "trick treat" and do a little shoulder shimmy then walk up and choose a candy from the bowl and put it in her treat bag. I'm afraid she now thinks she gets candy every time we knock on a door. When we got home we dumped her bag out to look through her candy, her eyes got big and she squealed with excitement. All that hard work paid off. It was a fun halloween, we look forward to more fun costumes and lots more trick or treating.

Pumpkin Carving

We went to Grammys for our annual pumpkin carving. Costumes were optional, so all those who dressed up had a picture together. We all had crazy pumpkin carving skills so they turned out great.











While some of use were carving pumpkins Addyson was in the other room entertaining everyone. Grammy had a book about monkeys and it had a button that would make a monkey noise and every time Addy pushed the button she would get a look of absolute surprise.

Pumpkin Walk

We were crazy but we braved the storm and went to the pumpkin walk. It was chilly but barely anyone there so it was a good night to go. We had fun in spite of the early snow storm.
