Easter Egg Hunt

We had a great day at the Ft Campbell Easter Egg Hunt today. Addison's boyfriend, Nathan was there and they had a blast. It was great watching 100+ toddlers (with parents) scrapping for 50 plastic eggs with candy. Lots of elbows being thrown, mostly by parents and lots of crying "mostly" by the kids. Addison quickly picked up the concept of "grab and go" and made off with four...good job throwing blocks, Dad. We had fun hanging out with Brianna and Nathan. Suckers were the highlight of the day...and blue tongues were trophies.

Cookies!

My daughter and I did a first this afternoon. We made cookies. She started off so good. I got a new mixer and she added the ingredients very carefully. Then, she started to get exctited and dumped a whole jar of nutmeg in. Then a little extra flour. I never thought I wouldn't enjoy a sugar cookie! She had so much fun though and was very proud. I let her decorate them and she used a whole jar of colored sugar. Thankfully, most of it ended up on the floor and not in her mouth. She loved every minute and thought her cookies tasted good. I smiled and nodded.

Fashion

This is my daughter's keen fashion sense.

Visit to the farm

Last Sunday we went to a local farm to feed some animals and take a hay ride. Addison of course had a great time. There were two llamas and if any of you have read the llama books then you understand how cute it was that Addison kept walking around calling them "llama drama." It was cracking us up.

Halloween!

Addison had a grand time this year. She was a fairy, although when she saw the wings she decided she was a butterfly. Whatever. We went out trick or treating and she said and was so cute. Mostly she was out to socialize, following other families and talking to everyone. She got candy though and spawled it out on the front porch when we got home. Then she got very excited when she realized there were M&Ms. The last picture is this morning when she got up, promptly put on her costume and wanted to go "twick and tweating." She wanted more treats! She is my daughter!

Addison goes to school

So, it's really just a part day toddler program, but we call it school. She got a little upset when I left and then was quickly distracted. They said she didn't cry at all and even ate apple slices! For those unaware, Addison will only eat freeze-dried fruit for me. When i picked her up she ran to me crying like she thought I was never coming back. She had fun though and I don't think she is going to have any problems. I added a few pics of her going in carrying her own bag. She ran off to play immediately then got upset I was leaving. Like i said though, she got over it fast. She was so cute!

Addison's 2nd Birthday!

I know I didn't get going on this blog thing like I thought I would. Sorry. Addison had her 2nd birthday yesterday though and I have already gotten a nasty gram from Aunt Erin that I didn't post pictures. No excuse, except I was tired. I know, what else is new. She started her day off by getting a new tricycle. She loved the little bell and although she can't quite reach the peddles she loves riding it. She had two little friends over and they had a grand time. We even stuffed teddy bears and painted little t-shirts for them. It wasn't as messy as I thought it would be, but cute. The theme was Little Bear. I made a teddy bear cake which she loved to look at, but didn't eat much of. She ate the ice cream which is her favorite thing in the world right now. She also got some great gifts. Her favorite so far were the Click the camera and neighing pony. We did put batteries in the Dora flashlight this morning and I think she has fallen asleep with it right now. If you don't know these characters consider yourself blessed. HE he. Here are pictures which is what everyone wants to see anyway. I can't believe she's 2!
