Gingerbread House

Last night after dinner we made a gingerbread house. Daddy mixed the icing and built the house. Daddy let Madeline lick the icing off the mixer...she loved it!

Sugar high!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then it was time for Madeline to decorate the house!

She didn't understand what to do at first...but then she got the hang of it and did a great job!

Mommy helped Madeline out a little too!

Madeline had a great time!

Mommy would hand Madeline a gum drop and she would put it on the house. Madeline's master piece!

Playing at the Mall

Monday Maw Maw and Paw Paw came to watch Madeline at swimming lessons and then we all went to play at the mall. Madeline loves to see the puppies at the pet store, so we went there before lunch! There were puppies playing in the back. Madeline just loved to watch them run around! She could say "See Dog" and REALLY see a dog! haha Those are her favorite words these days!

After lunch Paw Paw took her on the carousel. She LOVES to ride on there!!!!!

We left from the mall to go to Lafayette. Madeline got to play with Carly that night...which made both of them SO happy!

Christmas Lights

Madeline helped mommy and daddy put up the Christmas last Sunday afternoon.Madeline loves to play outside!Madeline had fun pulling on the reindeer...and didn't like when mommy and daddy told her no!

Little Gym

Madeline and mommy went to a Spring Moms and Babes party at Little Gym last Sunday. Madeline was not too sure if she was going to like it at first! She acted like she was not having fun, but I think she was!

She like to walk on the foam mats!

She enjoyed doing front rolls!

After we played for a while we got pizza and a cupcake.

Auntie Alisa's Christmas Party

Last Saturday we went to Auntie Alisa's house for her Christmas Party. We slowly moved Madeline closer and closer to Santa so that maybe she would get used to him...nope, didn't work!Mommy felt really badly about taken this picture, but it is also so cute!!!!!
Later on it was time to take a group picture with Santa and all of the toys that we donated. Madeline would NOT go and sit anywhere near Santa by herself...so mommy had to get in the picture too. We finally got a picture this year with Auntie Alisa!

Art

Ok so I have been forgetting to keep up with Madeline's art. Here is a bunch of pictures of her art that she did at school.
This was Madeline's place mat for the Thanksgiving Feast!
