Oh Christmas Tree!

It's one of our favorite times of year to pick out our Christmas tree and decorate it!

We went with some friends to the Polar Express in December. There were 17 of us and we had a great time!

Yo Gabba Gabba!

We had such a fun time at the Yo Gabba Gabba concert! Addison danced the whole time :)

In the first 2 weeks in November, we went to 4 birthday parties! Addison had a great time at each one but mommy and daddy were a bit exhausted after all that partying :) The first weekend, we started out with Addison's sweet friends Avery's and Hayden's princess party. What a surprise when the real Sleeping Beauty showed up to the party! Addy is still talking about it! She read them a story, played games, painted faces and sang a song. The girls were in heaven! After the princess party, we drove up to Aliso Viejo to cousin Tyler's birthday party. It was at Scooter's Jungle, one of those big jumpy places. Wild, but fun!

Halloween

Love these 2!

I think handing out candy was probably her favorite part!

She only wanted to go to decorated houses, so Chris was sad that he missed a lot of good candy opportunities!

Ready to go with her wand and necklace accessories!

Our many decorated pumpkins

Since Halloween was on a Monday this year, we decided to play it low-key and just trick-or-treat around our neighborhood. We had gone to my school Halloween Carnival and our church Fall Festival the week before, so we definitely had our fill of Halloween fun! Addison changed her mind of what she wanted to be for Halloween about 100 times, so I didn't buy her a costume and instead let her pick whatever she wanted to wear from all her dress-up clothes that she has. After 3 costume changes on Halloween night, she finally settled on a Princess dress she got for her birthday. We had a great time!

Thank you Aunt Kristin for helping to decorate and grandma for helping with the food!

From just about the minute her 2nd birthday party was over, Addison has wanted a princess party. Well, she got one for her 3rd birthday! We had it at our house, which was a lot easier than having it at the park. We had 2 special guests at the party-Aunt Kristin and Grandma came from Texas and it was so much fun (and such a help!) to have them here! It was a very fun day!
