Addie and Ben just looking at the water. They look so sweet and good. What you might have guessed is that in about 10 minutes from when I took this picture they were both wet from jumping in the stream, Ben a little more then Addie . Three year olds are the best.
So cute and willing to let me take 50 pictures of him and do nothing but smile.
Addie on the other hand would not smile! This is her " Mom I just saw a bug!" face.
This is how you get a Addie to smile... Just let her hang on a bridge rail!
My really good friend Emily called one day and asked if Addie and I would like to go to the Zoo? Hanna had school that day so I thought that it might be fun to go with just Addison. It is not often that I go anywhere with just one kid.
It was one of the first nice spring days that we have had and Hanna and Addie wanted to go for a walk to the libary. So they got all bundled up in their sweaters and hats and off we went.
Poor Addie looks just like her daddy with those ears,
After school one day we had gotten a lot of snow and the kids were so excited to go out and play in it. I have always wondered how they can play outside when it feels like 10 below and have so much fun!
Hanna, Uncle Adam and Addison. Adam came over and played in the snow with the girls. He is such a big kid!
Two weeks ago Macy, my sister Susan, myself, some other ladies from church and their daughters all went to Cleveland to see Wicked. Macy's birthday is two days after Christmas which is not so much fun as the mom because what do you get a 7 year old two days after Christmas that she has not all ready gotten from my very large family? You get her tickets to go see Wicked in November! With Macy's love for anything musical this was the perfect gift for her. I did not tell her till the night before where we were going. We both got all dressed up. Macy got a new dress and I did her hair. She was so excited. Her eyes lit up when we got to the Theater. It was a such a nice theater with large crystal chandeliers. It was what you would think that a fancy theater would look like. It was so fantastic. We all loved it so much. I would go see it again if I had the chance to.
This was one of Macy's favorite parts. She love how the witched looked like she was flying!
Anyone that knows my Macy knows that she is the most girlie girl there is so of course she loved Glenda's gown!
The music, costumes and lighting were all so fantastic. If you get the chance to see it I would try to go. I told Jade that once Hanna is a little older I really want to take her to see it also. After the play we went to the cheesecake factory for dinner. The food was great and the cheesecake was out of this world. We had such a great time on our Mommy and daughter day!

Emily and Macy with Emily's cute little wicked dolls. Emily and her mom Kelly rode with us. We all had a great time hanging out together.
Do to the fact that they are having a really big birthday party after Christmas this year we have had low key birthday party's at home.
Addie got a new Cabbage Patch doll this year.
I remember when I was little my dad looked every where to find me a cabbage patch doll that looked like me. When went to pick out Addie's I had to make sure that it looked like her also. So after looking on black Friday for one with blue eyes and blond hair I was out of luck... then I turned around and this lady put one back that was just what I was looking for!!! We pointed out to Addie that she had hair like hers. She was so cute when she looked at her hair and then said " She does just like me!"
She loves her new baby. It goes every where with her.
This year right before trick-or-treating the girls and Jade craved our pumpkins. It was really fun to watch the girls TRY to clean out the guts of the pumpkins. They were not fans of the whole experience. You can just look at Macy's and Hanna's faces to see how much fun they were having. Needless to say Jade and I have raised VERY girlie girls!
Addie might be the only smart one in the whole group. This look is one of " I don't care how much you want me to put my hand inside there because it is NOT going to happen!"
I love this picture of Hanna. She is on the edge of puking
At least Hanna was willing to try.
My pretty snow princess.
This year Macy was a Cheer Leader, Hanna was a Snow princess
and Addison was a tinker bell fairy.
Our good friends Kevin and Elizabeth gave this to Addison. She was soooo happy to have such a large package all to herself. They are so nice to our kids and the kids love them.
My lazy Addison. She was so done at this point!
Hanna's favorite piece of candy.
Addison reading her spooky Halloween book before bed.
