Addison's Birthday

It was Addison's Birthday yesterday. She is now 12! I can not believe this! She was 1 when I started dating Jaron! Jaron, Alexis and I went and pulled her out of school yesterday and took her to Chucky Cheese for lunch. We were the only ones there. It was a lot of fun! She just ran around and played whatever she wanted. Alexis had fun except when her dad played the basketball game. You know the one where there are a couple of balls and you shoot them over and over again as fast as you can. She would scream. I don't know why. Chucky Cheese didn't scare her. She rode on a few of the little rides. Afterwards we took Addison shopping for a rock star outfit for her Birthday party on Friday. She was so excited it was so fun to take her!! We also went to dinner at the Olive Garden with the family for the big day. She kept telling the Waiter well you know I am the Birthday Girl. She is such a funny girl! I love her to death!

Thanksgiving weekend

     Thanksgiving has come and gone. We enjoyed the holiday weekend! It started with round 1 at Jaron's moms house on Thursday. Lots of yummy food with family! I couldn't move after I ate!! It was Alexis's first Thanksgiving and she was not into any of the food. Not even the normal stuff she loves at home. Jaron shoved sweet potato's in her mouth and made her so mad. After that she was like don't even come around me with food! My mother in law did a great job on the food and sent us home with so much yummy left overs which is my favorite!      I sent Jaron and Daniel black Friday shopping. It was a success. You can read about the funny details at http://mylifeasarealhousewife.blogspot.com/2010/12/black-friday.html.
    Round 2 started off with a stop at the craft fair in SF. Then off to my Dad's. We didn't have a Thanksgiving dinner just a normal one. They didn't want us to get turkeyed out. We usually go to the light parade but this year with it being 14 degrees and having a 8 month old we decided it wasn't a good idea. Maybe next year! They did light up the Salem pond so we drove around that and Lexi loved that! She was all about those lights!
   Round 3 happened at my Mom's house.  My step sister was there with her new baby! I was so excited to see my new niece! She is 7 weeks old and still so tiny! She weighs what Alexis weighed when she was born right now. It makes me feel like I have a giant baby now seeing how small she use to be to how big she is now! We ate yummy turkey and ham.  My mom made homemade rolls, cinnamon rolls, and pumpkin bread that she sent home with us! I love the holidays! Alexis loves pumpkin bread!! I think that is her favorite thing she has ate so far.

   I have great family that I am so Thankful for!
