Thanksgiving Fun

We had a lot of fun at Nana and Grandad's house over Thanksgiving Break. Madeline was spoiled rotten, of course! She got new clothes, early Christmas presents, got to play Monopoly with the adults, and of course ate Nana's great cooking! She definitely does not like mashed potatoes! Macaroni and cheese was her favorite Thanksgiving food by far! She also liked pumpkin bread. We also put up the Christmas tree! Madeline picked out her favorite ornament very quickly! We are so thankful for our family and friends this holiday season!

Our Little Carrie??

We've had the CMA awards on the DVR for a couple of weeks now, so I decided to watch the end of them tonight. Madeline got her microphone and started singing during Carrie Underwood's song! Then she asked her Daddy to dance! It was so cute! She loves music!!

Chef Madeline

The Princess decided that she wanted to cook tonight!
That made one of us!

First Trick or Treat!

Madeline had a great time trick or treating Friday night. She was such an adorable fairy! We were so surprised when she actually would say 'trick or treat' to complete strangers, followed by 'thank you' when they would give her some candy. We had a great Halloween! Thanks to Donna, Loren and Bo for celebrating it with us!

Fall Pictures at Waveland

We took Madeline to Waveland late this afternoon to get some good fall pictures. Here are a few of them. She had a great time! As long as she's moving, she's happy!

More Adventures with MJ

Here's what the Princess did today while she was helping me with laundry. I told her, "Stay right here while I get the laundry basket." This is her creative way of following directions! And yes, her arm is out of her sleeve. Don't ask me how she managed to do that!

Matching Onesies!

On Friday afternoon, Madeline and I went to Emmi and Jeff's to visit Kylie Hope. This was my third visit with the baby, but it was Madeline's first. So, we put the girls in their matching monogrammed onesies, and tried to get some cute pics of them. Kylie slept like an angel through the whole photo shoot. Madeline had to do a circle around the living room after each picture we took. She truly did realize that Kylie was a real person, and not a doll. She kept looking at her and saying, "Eyes! Fingernails! Hairs! Nose! Baby!" I thought Madeline was very gentle with Kylie considering she's never been around a newborn before. I am so proud of our girls, and am so happy for our friends Emmi and Jeff. Kylie Hope is a miracle baby. She is beautiful. Madeline and I discussed their future playdates in the car on the way home from their house!
