Maddie's 1 year pictures

Here are some of Maddie's one year pictures - we think they turned out well!

Halloween Party!

On Sunday afternoon, we went to Joey and Lori's house for a Halloween party for the kids. Maddie dressed up like Princess Leia, Alex was a mechanic from the movie Cars, and Allison was a Barbie fairy. There were crafts for the kids to make, games for the kids to play, and Halloween presents too. The adults joined in on the pin-the-smile-on-the-pumpkin game, which Alex won. His smile was almost perfect. We all had a really good time.

Horsing Around!

Here are some pictures of Maddie playing in a small Rubbermaid storage container. We got it to put her smaller toys in, but she thinks it is a toy in itself. She dumps all of the toys out and plays in it.

Here are some pictures of Maddie in her new glow-in-the-dark Halloween pjs.

Fall Fun!

On Sunday, the Smith family went to Hilger's Fall Fantasy Land. There was not as much to do as we thought, but we still had a good time. Doug got an elephant ear, Kris got some hot apple cider, and Maddie got two pumpkins. So, the trip was worthwhile!

Halloween Fun

Hi everyone! Sorry that it has been so long since our last update. We will try to do better! Anyway, here are some pictures of Maddie with her new Halloween toys. For her Halloween present, Doug and I took her to Build-A-Bear. She picked out Pumpkin Kitty (which Doug named "Candy Corn"). From the Scholls, she received the Little People Halloween play set (Thanks again guys - she loves it!).
