Maddie's Birthday Party

Our friends, Rocky and Amy's little girl, Maddie turns 4 in December and her birthday party was Saturday. It was a girls only party so Hanna and I got to go by ourselves! She was SOOO excited to get to go by herself! As we were leaving she was waving and saying, "Bye, DeeDee!" "Bye, Bubba!"

Even though she was excited, in the middle of the party she asked me, "Where DeeDee?"

Maddie had a Strawberry Shortcake Birthday Party. Amy had a lady come to the house to make Strawberry Shortcake dolls! (like build-a-bear!)

Hanna SOOO excited!

Hanna decided to like it from a distance

At our Monday/Wednesday school, we had a Thanksgiving Feast. Here are pictures from our Thanksgiving Pizza Picnic.

Hanna mocking the way Heath was laying - I said "Hanna, so sit by Heathie so I can take your picture." So, he laid like him instead... still made a cute picture! :)

Dylan loved his pizza too!

Happy Halloween! 2008

We had "Trunk or Treat" at our church on Halloween Night. Trunk or Treat is where people sign up to give out candy out of their car trunks in the parking lot. Everyone dresses themselves and their cars up too. We found out on Sunday that there were about 2,000 people there! The kids had fun in the bounce houses, pony rides, popcorn, snow cones, kool-aid and candy, of course!!

Again, Dylan LOVING it! He had a GREAT time on the pony! He was rocking up and down "buckin'" the horse with ALL smiles! Hanna was ok with it after she realized I was going to walk right next to her the whole time.

Heath on his pony

When we got home, we let the kids pick two pieces of candy to eat before bedtime. We all sat around the table and had our candy. We HAD to give baths because Hanna and Dylan had been sneaking candy all night and were sticky from head to toe!!!

Hanna stole a few more than 2 pieces! :)
