Big eyed surprise...

Brayley's first car wash since he was a teeny, tiny baby...

 (I know, we don't get out much!)

Magic

Brayley is constantly disappearing, reappearing, and talking magic talk.  It was only fitting that Nana and Papa get him official magician apparel for Christmas.  He loves it and all of it's magical piesces!  ;-)

Christmas 2009

Here's a look into our CHRISTmas...

 

Shaggy, Smelly Sheep!!

Our Church Children's Choir put on their annual Christmas Program, 'Shepherd, Sheep and a Savior'. This was Brayley's 2nd Church Christmas Program but it was Addyson's debut!! Needless to say, she only lasted about 30 seconds (the length of time it took her to find us in the crowd!). She definitely takes after her mother!!

But at least she didn't cry ;-)

Thanksgiving Day

As well as celebrating Turkey Day with our family, we also celebrated Addyson's 2nd birthday!
We had tons of yummy food, full bellies and fun!

Thanksgiving Artwork

 

Above is Addyson's Art and a Craft from school...

And my favorite...

Brayley's Thanksgiving Plate Craft.  He said, "This is butter, green beans, a turkey leg, more green beans and punkin pie! Yum, yum!"

Addyson's School Birthday Cupcakes

Addyson's Birthday is on Thanksgiving Day this year so we had to share her cupcakes with friends at school a few days early.

The Paci Fairy

The Paci Fairy recently came to visit Brayley.  He had an addiction that the pediatrician told us not to worry about at his 3 year check-up. By his fourth birthday we were getting a little worried.  So, I made a call to our local 'Paci Fairy' and asked her to pay us a visit.  She did come the night before Brayley's 4th Birthday.  In exchange for the pacis she took to the other little babies around the world, she left big boy toys!!  Brayley was very excited and so far we are paci free! :-)

Brayley's Birthday Cupcakes

Brayley was soooooo excited to take his Spider-man Birthday Cupcakes to school to share with his friends...

Roasting Marshmallows

We decided to try roasting marshmallows, with Brayley, to make smores.  He loved the fire and the roasting part but wasn't too thrilled with the idea of eating it!!

(Addyson was already asleep, of course!)
