I took a picture of Addison with her stocking.

I took a pic of Brayden too by his stocking, but of course Lucas did not want his picture taken with his.

Brayden and Addison just love to get their picture taken together! They play so well together.

I wanted to get a few pics of Addison by the Christmas tree.

Christmas 09 in front of the tree. It was wonderful time with the kids this year. God has blessed us greatly this year. We are thankful for all he has given us. We are most thankful for the birth of his son Jesus. Children are such a blessing!

We went to Millenium Park in Chicago. It was quite cold but a fun trip.

I enjoyed watching the kids skating. All I could think was the kids would love to skate here. They only time I have been ice skating I never got too far from the edge.

This was at Millenium Park. Interesting is all I have to say about it.

This was I want to say alligator snapping turtle. It was quite unique. This was at the Shedd Aquarium. If you go to Chicago you have to visit the aquarium.

They had a awesome show with penguins, whales, dolphins, eagle, and a walrus. If you sat on the bottom row you got to pet the penguins.

The view was just beautiful.

We got the experience riding the bus in Chicago. It was not as scary as I thought it would be.

This was the fruit turkey Aunt Misti made for Thanksgiving. I thought it deserved a picture. I thought it was quite amazing.

I took some pictures of Addison before church one day out on the deck. She is always a willing participant.

Mom finally got in one picture. Actually Scott tries to take pictures of me all the time but I am always resistant. You know bad hair days and everything.

Lucas's deer that he got this weekend.

This is the kids at the Christmas parade. I had to get ready for the craft fair but dad was so great to take the kids out for some fun!

This is Sophie! She was our dog for a few days only. She was a sweet dog but too active to be a house dog. She will make someone a great dog. We are still hoping to add a dog to our family.

Halloween at grandma's

This is grandma and Addison eating Aunt Misti's birthday cake.

Lucas, Scott, Brayden and Uncle Thayne were playing washers. It was so nice outside Halloween weekend.

Aunt Misti and I took turns pulling the kids in the wagon. It was a workout.

Addison and Cora were waiting for their turn in the wagon. All the kids did well waiting their turns.

We took the kids to great grandma and grandpa's for trick or treating. We try to go back to mom and dads every year that Halloween falls on a weekend. The weather was so nice. They actually got to go door to door. We don't do that in Hutchinson. It is too big and we usually go to our church Fall Festival.

Grandpa took the kids trick or treating down the street on the ranger. They thought that was pretty cool.

Lucas was just enjoying the outdoors and the animals at grandma and grandpas house. Of course he is too old to trick or treat but was a great help with his younger siblings.

I took a picture of Addison and Brayden before we went trick or treating.

Lucas at his marching band performance at the Buhler High School football game.

Brayden's Halloween parade at school.

Addison fell asleep watching TV. I guess she really was tired.

She decided to feed her baby noodles.

Lucas got whistled at while we were taking these pictures.

Brayden was a ninja for Halloween.

Addison was Minnie Mouse for Halloween this year. She loved the costume because it was pink.

I took some pictures at the park one day. I wish it would have been a little later then the light would have better.

This is my favorite picture of Addison this fall.
