November 24th (Over the Year's!!)

                      1st trip to Bass Pro in 2010 with Adelyn! She didn't like Santa then either. lol

                                                    Bass Pro 2011, Daddy in this picture this time!

 Never made it to see Santa 2012 with a long story behind it at Bass Pro but Walmart had one, a little creepy, during the day when we went shopping while Daddy was a work .Free 5x7 though! I love Addie between my legs...lol. Ella was crying also!!

                   Bass Pro 2013!! Great Picture this time...as long as Santa did hold either of them!

November 24th (Yum!!)

Tonight I had to try a new pinterest recipe...Jalapeno Popper Chicken Chili!! And it was awesome...lots of cream cheese and mild cheddar cheese! I love pinterest I love pinterest I love pinterest!

November 23rd (Adelyn's "Frosty" Dance!!)

Is she adorable or what!!

Waiting to watch Sissy perform.

                                                              Getting ready to dance!!
They were soooooo adorable! Adelyn did a wonderful job, and has been practicing at home a little from memorization! Hopefully she does better than I did in elementary school!! LOL

Who loves SANTA??? Not ELLA!! They had a Santa at the Craft Fair where Addie did her dance. Ella didn't like Santa. Poor thing. After the dance we headed home to eat lunch and for Ella to take a nap.

Next stop BAss Pro Shop...Santa's work shop!!

The Carosel was a big hit!

Train time.

                                                   Looking at the REALLY BIG FISH!!
Then it was time to go eat at the Restaurant in Bass Pro since they gave us 2 free kids meals!! woo hoo!

My picture by myself since Adelyn was being a pill off and on tonight!!

                                               Ella and Daddy having fun waiting for food!!
The food was actually really good. The fish was fresh for the kids meal and my meal. They also had yummy yummy pina colada's...Nick even enjoyed some sips of mine!

I finally got a pic with her in front of the HUGE tree!

Starting to walk around like a BIG girl!!

After we looked around a bit we headed out to the FREEZING cold!! Time to go home a start a fire!

                                         Enjoying the fire until Ella touched it...poor baby!

What a great fun filled day other than Adelyn freaking out and having outbursts it was a pretty excellent day!! lol Sometimes that is jus how life is!

November 22nd (Uh oh!!)

This is what happens when the girls are quiet and I am getting stuff done around the house!! lol They sure love my make up and nail polish!

 

1st Christmas Family Movie Night, The Santa Claus with Tim Allen. Adelyn loved it. They also enjoyed their own Chocolate milk shakes...Ella got to drink hers by herself in her sippy!! Love the holidays!

November 21st

As I walked out of Ella's room Adelyn was actually laying up against her door asleep. Even after I opened the door she stayed a sleep..lol! She just can't go to sleep in her bed!!

November 17th (Chuckie Cheese Please!!)

 

Today I had the idea to take the girls to Chuckie Cheese since we haven't gone any where fun for awhile as a family. The girls of course were game and ready right away!! Ella really liked it this time but seemed a little freaked out by Chuckie!! lol Adelyn had the most fun...she really enjoyed playing the games and was able to play a lot more. Fun morning at Chuckie Cheese.

Love our Sunday's as a family!!

November 16th (Date Night!!)

                                    A quick picture before we go out on our DATE NIGHT!!
                                        We were a little excited since it has been 3 months.
               Well I wanted to start the night by looking at new houses to get ideas...plus Nick and I used to do this a lot before kids. But bye the time we got to looking everywhere was closed, but we did see some outside ideas. Then we headed over to Granite City because we had gift cards...my salmon was delicous but not Nick's pasta. We were going to go see a movie but I didn't really like what was playing, plus I had a pina colada which made me want to drink a little more. lol
So we called some friends, Amy and Kiel Tompkins, and headed over to their place to have a few drinks and catch up while their kids were sleeping. It was a fun night and spontaneous. Wish we could have a date night once a month..it was much needed! Thanks Mom and David for watching them.
