Day 2 of Family

November 22, 2011


Today Addy and Grandma Tew made a pumpkin cake roll for Thanksgiving and got Grandpa Tew to play the guitar hero on the wii, which he liked and then we took a little trip to Bass Pro Shop where we played games and saw Santa in their Christmas Village. They had kid bow and arrows and the boys loved them. Boston was really good at it. All the kids this year were very excited to see him. Boston was the first to get right up there and tell him that he wanted candy for Christmas, Addy told him that she wanted an electric car. The kind for little kids to drive around. We had to have a little talk with her later to let her know that that might not be possible since we were going to Washington for Christmas, so she said that Santa could surprise her. Carter asked Santa for army men and legos. Later that night Grandpa and Grandma Webb drove to Columbia, just in time for Grandma Webb to read the kids a goodnight story.

Welcome Family

November 20, 2011 Welcome
On November 20 my parents flew in to Kansas City and then drove to Columbia. We were all very excited to see them. They flew in to be with us for Thanksgiving and Addy's baptism. The first day was cold and rainy so we stayed inside and played guitar hero on the wii. The kids showed Grandma Tew how to play and we all had a good time. Grandpa Tew made some really cool paper airplanes for the kids and they flew them all over the house, and when it stopped raining we flew them outside.

Party Day

October 12, 2011
Today we had Addy's Birthday Party and we had 6 little girls come over and we painted their nails, had pizza, made flower barrettes, had a pinata and cake and ice cream. It was pretty fun to watch all these littel girls go after all the candy after the pinata broke. All of the kids had a turn to hit the pinata and Boston was the one who broke it. Addy had a great time!

Birthday Girl

November 8, 2011
Addy woke up bright and early and wanted to open her gifts. So I let her and she was so happy. She got some clothes, watch, money, game, and some moccasins. For dinner we had one of her favorite, BLTs. For dessert we had pumpkin pie, her favorite. I can't believe she is 8 years old. Addy has become such a beautiful girl. She is very happy and a good girl. We are having her friend party on Saturday.

Halloween 2011

October 2011
We had a great Halloween this year. The kids loved carving the pumpkins except for Boston. He did not like how slimy the insides were. We went to our church's Halloween party and we all dressed up. Will was DR Pepper, I was a Blessing in Disguise, Addy was a witch, Carter was Batman, and Boston was a Cow. Will had the night off so he stayed home to give out candy and I took the kids around the neighborhood. Boston lasted for about half an hour and then he went home. Carter and Addy couldn't get enough and I had to make them go home at 8pm. They all got a lot of candy and had a great Halloween.
