All about Addyson

Addyson got chosen to the the student of the week. She brought home this form and spent a long time getting it colored just right, with help from dad. I helped her with the pictures. She is very proud of her hard work.

Thanksgiving 2010

We stayed in Green River this year for Thanksgiving. Brock and Christine invited the family to their house. The girls and I made these cute little turkeys to go along with the turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, salads, shrimp, ham and pies that we stuffed ourselves with.

Halloween 2010

Halloween ended up being a 3 day event this year. Parties at school on Friday, trunk or treating on Saturday and the actual holiday on Sunday. The girls and I carved pumpkins with the Girl Scouts earlier in the week too. Here are my little "bugs".

We invited the family over for dinner on Sunday night. The girls expect me to do something fun and cute for each holiday now, so I had to come up with something new this year. We had mummies, skeleton bones and dip and witches fingers with the chili Aunt Christine brought. I also surprised the girls with pumpkin shaped pancakes for lunch. Not what they were expecting at all!

I signed up to take frosted cookies to Janae's party that I was helping with. I figured I might as well take them to Addyson's class too. What sounds like a good idea to begin with, always makes me rethink opening my mouth when I am in the middle of the project. The cookies did turn out cute, but were a lot of work!

Little Miss Addyson had a loose tooth before the party, and a really loose tooth afterward. The apple bobbing knocked the tooth loose enough for her to pull it out that night. She was so excited to look like a jack o lantern for trick or treating. We went trick or treating at the businesses with their cousins after school on Friday.
