It's Beginning To Look Like Christmas!

On Friday morning we put up our Christmas tree and decorations. Of course this meant that she had to put on her fancy Christmas dress that she just picked out. She also has a new BFF. The angel that is supposed to be on top of the tree is now her friend, Snowflake, that she carries around everywhere (sorry GG, the angel is not our tree topper!). She also asked if we were going to England because it is Christmas time. :) When she woke up this morning she announced, "It's still Christmas!"

A Thanksgiving Feast For Friends

While I was making Thanksgiving dinner, Addison was busy making a feast of her own. She lined up all of her friends and fed them a picnic. How sweet is that?!

Eat up everyone!

Pie Party

We had pie and wine at our house on Wednesday. Addison was so excited to have her friends over for a pie party!

Big Cousin

It was our Saturday to watch Reid. Towards the end of the night Addison wanted to hold him all by herself. She loved it, Reid not so much!

Name Writing

Addison is practicing writing her name. She also drew a lovely spider on her paper.

Are you Supposed to be up there?

Here are Addio and her buddy, Holly, snuggling on the couch together.

They work hard for the money

Poor Addison and Neil, they have to work all hours. Here they are doing their work together. Addison got this fun computer from Coco and is learning her letters and numbers. It is an English toy so Addison is learning her letters and numbers with an accent. It is very cute to hear her say tiger...she says it like tiga.

Tumbling Recital

Addison made her tumbling debut on Friday! The theme of the recital was Wild Wild West. Addison's group tumbled to the song Boot Scoot Boogey. She did a great job and of course was so cute. Neil and I were very proud parents and took many pictures which turned out pretty dark. We hope you can see and enjoy them!

No, Addison come this way

Look at the concentration

Getting ready for the big recital

Addison's tumbling recital is next Friday. This morning she wanted to break in her leotard. We are currently talking about how we can't wear her leotard to go grocery shopping in a little while.

Daddy's House

Neil just finished another house that we are renting out. Many weekends we would go over and do work, rake leaves, or just see how things are going. Addison calls it Daddy's house. It doesn't sound good to people who don't know us. Addison liked to pretend that the backyard was a restaurant. She would open the gate for you to welcome you to her restaurant. We had many hamburgers (AKA-sticks!) over the weeks.

Sunday Morning

We like to relax and play on Sunday mornings. Addison thought it would be fun throw all the filler to my mom's birthday present all around the floor. That was fun to clean up!

Halloween 2009

Halloween was a very busy and fun day for us this year! The day started out by me and Kristin doing the Fearless 5K in the cold and wind. Then Addison, Diane (Neil's co-worker), and I went to Northfield for the Carlton game. The girls won and got a spot in the playoffs. They play in Moorehead on Tuesday. Then we came home, ate dinner, handed out some candy and then went trick or treating. This was Addison and Neil's first time trick or treating! It was a lot of fun and little Miss got lots of candy. We hope you all had a fun Halloween!

One house was handing out lots of different things. Here is her favorite, a giant pixie stick. One word, SUGAR!
Look at all that sugar!

First house of the night.

Lets go to the next house!

She would not pose for a picture all night. She kept running away.

Carving Pumpkins

We carved our pumpkin on Friday night. Neil was the carver this year and he did a nice job! After we carved the pumpkin, Addison wanted to play photographer and took a picture of Daddy and a picture of Mommy. Then she wanted to do a peek a boo picture of herself.

Baby Reid

We are lucky that we get to see Reid so much! Ali watches Addio on Mondays and we watch Reid every other Saturday. Luckily Addison is such a great helper!
