Grandma Crafted Sweaters

Colton's First Car

Colton has a new job and a new car. Colton just started working for LPR Construction in Wyoming. John bought him his very own car so he could commute to work. Like father, like son.

This is a '97 Nissan Maxima with leather seats, wood paneling, power everything, Bose stereo system, sun roof.....it is very nice and Colton seems thrilled with it.

December

After much prodding, begging, and threatening by my parents I have decided to get caught up with my blogging! I now have a wonderful new computer that allows me to download 100 pictures in 10 seconds versus 30 minutes (thanks John!).

At the beginning of December Addy and I attended Disney on Ice: Worlds of Fantasy in Denver. It was during one of our many snow storms this season so I decided to stay at a hotel after the show so that we did not have to drive home in the middle of the night on ice. Addy had a blast. I think she may have enjoyed the hotel part the most though.

The show was on a Sunday night and with the snow I think a lot of people opted to stay home.

Addy and I made salt dough ornaments. Lots of fun!

Addy and I made sugar cookies.

Addy came to visit me at work. She loves coming to my work, putting on a headset and rolling up to a computer. You can't get her to leave!

We took Addy to see the Denver Zoo Lights for the first time.

More to come.....

Snoozer

I picked Addy up after work tonight and took a little detour on the way home to look at Christmas lights. As I pulled in front of a decorated house I asked Addy what she thought of it.....nothing, silence. I looked in the back seat and found her sound asleep.
When I picked her up from Grandpa's house, a few minutes prior, she was bouncing off the walls. Oh well. I guess we will try again tomorrow!

Addy-ism

Me: Did you go shopping with Grandpa today?
Addy: Yeah!
Me: Did you buy presents?
Addy: No we got food.
Me: What did you buy?
Addy: We got donuts! I was so happy I cried!

I swear I don't know where she comes up with this stuff.

Out and About

Addy and I are running errands today and having lunch. Addy picked out a star for the top of the Christmas tree and a caroling Mickey.

We stopped at a salad bar for lunch that only charges fifty-five cents for Addy. True to Addy form she only ate fifty-five cents worth.
I am not sure what is in that slushie but she doesn't look so good!

Beta

I am testing an app that would allow me to blog from my phone. Hopefully I could get more blogs uploaded that way. My first test included three pics that turned into three seperate posts with the same text (see below). Oh well, it is still pretty cool.

Oh, Christmas Tree

Grandma bought Addy this little Christmas tree last year for her room, so we gave Grandma the honor of setting it up again this year. The tree is Addy's night light!

Three Year Portraits

Addy is going to be three years old in two and a half weeks ( not that I am counting down or anything). I had her portraits done a little earlier then usual because I wanted an autumn background. It is a shame she will be turning three since she has just started to really perfect the terrible two's attitude ;)
