Ho Ho Ho

Since the Christmas season has offically started, Maddie decided to wear her Christmas shirt to daycare on Tuesday.

This is what Sadie did all weekend in Wichita. She loves my sister's cat Cricket. So she chased her all around the house and tried to get Cricket to play with her. Cricket mostly ignored Sadie or batted her paw at Sadie and hissed. It was pretty funny.

Friday we went to Wichita to visit the Posts. Maddie and Sadie did pretty good in the car together. But Madison was ready to get out of the car when we got there. We went to Botanica that night to see all the Christmas lights. Madison had on her hat, her coat and hood, her mittens and 2 blankets. She was cozy. Its started snowing while we were there which made it really pretty.
Then Saturday morning Madison's crazy parents decided to buy a car. We'd been talking about it for a while. And we got a deal we couldn't refuse. Its a Saturn Outlook. Its really fun. And the ride back to KC was a lot easier!

Saturday night we got all dressed in our crimson and blue to support the hawks. Unfortunately it wasn't enough. Although Maddie cheered on her hawks as long as she could, but only made it until the middle of the 1st quarter. The hawks had a great season. Who would have thought we be going to a BCS bowl?

Madison loves to be upside down. Her dad taught her this trick. Imagine that.

First Thanksgiving

For Madison's first Thanksgiving we went over to Rick's parents house. Of course Madison was taking her nap when it was time to eat. Which was good for Mom because she actually got to eat. Later Madison had fun playing with all the toys they had. Including riding the truck around and standing up and falling down over and over.

So this is Maddie's favorite thing to do now. This is Thanksgiving morning. She did not take a nap at all that morning. She just stood up in her crib over and over.

what a mess

We gave Madison a teething biscuit last week for the first time. And oh what a mess she made!

teeth!

Mid week last we noticed that Madison's two bottom teeth finally broke through! They are barely poking through, but at least the worst is over. Hopefully!
