Twinkle, Twinkle...

Addison LOVES to sing!!!  Here's our little star singing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star".

Pretty in Pink

I came out of my room this afternoon to see this on my couch. 

 I said, "Addison, what are you doing?!" 

She replied, "Readin' my Bible Momma."

Then she smiled really big!!! 

 She was alternating between her slippers & high heals...something I do daily! 

Here's the shoes she loves so much.  Notice the pinky toe sticking out??!  

This is her, "Really-mom?!" face.  I love it.  

Christmas Lights

 We went to a local Garden where they had put up over 700,000 Christmas lights!  It was beautiful!

 I went with Valerie & her daughters!

 Teh blue lights behind us were bundled to resemble grapes.  They were very cool!

 Here is Bridget..posing!

 Here is Gracen!

 Here I am with Addison!

 

 Addie was curious as to what was in the paper bags!  We caught her just as she peeked into it!  So cute!

 This photo doesn't do the garden lights justice!  They were very pretty!

These two ladies were in front of us the enitre time we were at the garden...and they walked SO SO slow!  Bridget expresses our feelings perfectly

Foster mom gifts!!

Addison's sweet foster mom in Korea mailed her some early Christmas gifts! 

 Here are two Korean books for her!

Here is the letter she wrote us.

Addison was going through all the things in the package.

Here is the letter..need a translation though?!

She sent her these cute hair things. 

You put them over little buns on either side of her head and the little braids hang down.

Here she is looking at her books in her room.

Thanks SO much!!!  We love the gifts!

Photo Shoot!

The Fountains!

 I took the kids to the park by the river.  Its a beautiful area with big trees, huge playgrounds, and a large area full of interactive fountians.  They always love it....well, mostly!

 Here we are eating our picnic lunch.  We jsut went to this little burger place and picked up our picnic, but it was great!  Nothing like big greasy burgers and homemade fries for lunch!!  Yummy!

 I knew things weren't going well in the fountains when Addison refused to allow Drew to put her down.  She cringed everytime she got wet! 

 Clearly, my boys weren't phased!

 Here are is the large fountain area.

 Here is where Addie ended up: on the bench.  (By her own chosing...see the annoyed look on her face!  She did not like those fountians)

 I think this is the look that says, "Please don't take me near those fountains!"

 Watching the fun from afar.

 Addie's bench

 My boys!  Always wrestling!

 Here they are playing at the huge playground right by the fountains.

 Addison did enjoy swinging!

She also enjoyed eating crackers on the picnic blanket.   We had a great afternoon!
