I just wanted to say a special thank you to Brad's grandmother for making her famous chicken and dressing!! I know it is alot of work...but we all really enjoy it!! I feel so blessed to have all of you in my life and I enjoy spending time with everyone..and Maddie just loves every second of all the attention!! We love you all so much! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving too!!

Being silly!

There is never a dull moment with this girl! She keeps me laughing..that is for sure!

So cute!

We have been teaching Maddie a little sign language. This is a picture of her doing the sign for..more.. she was also saying it! We just love to see her do this..so cute!

Too cute!

I thought this pic was so cute! Maddie only sat there for about one minute!! Dylan loves to watch tv..but Maddie..not so much! I am hoping that will change..it would be nice for her to sit still and watch a movie every now and then!Lol!

Allison's little helper!

Well last night my sister decided to put up her Christmas decorations. She asked Dylan if he wanted to help put the ornaments on the tree and he said "No"...but Maddie jumped right in and started handing her ornaments..it was so cute!

Pics with my new camera!

Well I have just had a ball with my new camera and my sister downloaded some editing software to my computer and I am having fun with that too!! I just wanted to post my first few pictures that I have been practicing with. I thought they turned out pretty cute! I just wanted to thank my sweet sis..once again..you are the best..thanks for your help!! Love you!!

Couldn't be more surprised!

Well let me start by saying that about a year ago my sister gave me her Nikon camera to use. Her husband had bought her a new one so she just passed it on to me. And as some of you know I am not by any means a photographer...and at first I didn't really think that I would use it much..needless to say I ended up using it alot and I was just so proud to have a fancy FREE camera!!! About 3 weeks ago it broke and I was just sick..and I mean sick!! We found out that it would be cheaper to buy a new camera rather than have it fixed...but since I am a stay at home mom I knew that I could never afford one. Well tonight my sweet sister came over and handed me a present to open and it was a NEW NIKON D3000!!! A few weeks ago she called my wonderful husband and asked if he would go in half to get me a new camera and she said without hesitation he said YES!! I cannot begin to tell you how shocked I was... this was such a wonderful surprise and now I will have a great camera to take pics with for the holidays!! I just want to thank my sweet, sweet sister for even caring enough to ask my husband to help her buy this...they are both very special people in my life and I love them sooo much!! Thank you...Thank you...Thank you!! It is very much appreciated!
