Giving Thanks

We had a pretty great Thanksgiving holiday.
After a delicious meal at Nana and Papa's on Thursday, The Lewis Troop headed off to Black Friday outlet shopping and a weekend away at The Falls at Mills Inn.

Maddy's favorite thing to ask me now is... "what doin?!"

Insider view at Lewis home:

I put on Christmas music last night and pulled out the wrapping paper, bows and presents. As I wrapped each present Maddy would help by holding different paper folds as I taped.

Maddy: "Momma, what doin?"

Momma: "Wrapping Papa's gift."

Maddy: "Maddy's?"

Momma: "No, for Papa"

Maddy: "Happy Birfday to Maddy?"

Momma: "No, Merry Christmas from Maddy."

Maddy: "oh"

Maddy: "Momma, what doin?"

And repeat :)

Nana Pam-a-lama

Last night Maddy wanted to watch videos we have stored on the camcorder, but she only wanted to see "Nana" videos... SO, I thought it was fitting to include a post of Nana Pam for Maddy to see.

Little Big Girl

Almost overnight my baby Madelyn has turned into a little girl.
She talks in full sentences, understands and answers anything you ask, and pronounces her R's (I have no idea who she learned that from!) I have so much fun just being with her. Thank you for being my world sweetheart.

All the Cool Kids Trick or Treat in November

Because of last week's OCTOBER snow storm our annual Trick or Treat with Sabrina & Ethan was held last night.
All the kids looked as cute as ever! Sabrina was Izzy... she even had her own parrot, named Ethan!

We also are in the process of installing french doors leading into the sun room. It is still a work in progress, but I am so excited at how beautiful they are I needed to share photos.
