Town Square and Ethel M's Cactus Gardens 2010

We went, on Saturday, to get our pictures with Santa Claus. We go to the Town Square Santa because he is the best. You get to go in his Norman Rockwell house and have a one-on-one visit with him. This year Mrs. Claus was with him and their dog (a puppet, yes it was a bit weird). Madi was disappointed after because she forgot to tell Santa she wanted a bike. She told him she wanted Toy Story 3. I told her that she wrote Santa a letter and I think Santa will remember, but she is still worried. I think I might need to bring her to Santa again, she does not believe me. She is really worried! I think it has to do with last year. The only thing Madison asked for was Sponge Bob bubble bath. (Santa had a very hard time choosing presents for her because he didn't know what to buy her.) But, Santa made a BIG mistake and picked up Sponge Bob body wash on accident. The one thing she asked for and Santa could not get it right. Well, she brought it up a few weeks ago that Santa makes mistakes and she really wants a bike this year. I am not quite sure I will live it down. Oh, well, it makes for a great story now, just a little nervous Madison! :)

They have this tall Christmas tree in the park, so I couldn't help taking pictures with it and I am so glad I did. I loved the pictures better then the ones with Santa. :)




That night we went with our friends the McHenry's to the Cactus Garden at Ethel M's chocolate factory. My camera died half way through, but I got some cute pictures. I was just disappointed that we did not get one with the family. Oh well! I love the holiday season and I am so grateful that we get to celebrate it with Greg this year!!

Halloween and November

Madison lost her first tooth!:
It is the bottom front tooth. We are still waiting on the top two to fall out. Her top ones have been loose for months now. She will not eat on them. It's quite hilarious watching her eat. She eats like a cow. Anna's Annual SEMA visit:
Emily, Maddox, Anna and Sterling came down and we hung out for a few days. Unfortunately Madi and Greg had strep throat so we spent the time at home or at the urgent care. We decided to make these cute turkey hand sugar cookies.




Pumpkin Patch:
Every year we go to the pumpkin patch. The girls had a lot of fun on the obstacles and slides.
