So I've decided moving back to blogger was not a good decision. You see blogger is good for long posts. I'm into short posts. Blogger is good for posting from a computer I post from my iphone.
Yep, moving on back to tumblr even after I sent out Xmas cards with the blogger address. Oh well, mistakes happen.

A spotty and often inaccurate play by play.

Addy calls it Mommy Girl Show
Confession. We broke a lot of rules tonight. We ate carbs, we ate in the living room, and we watched tv. But I must admit, tea, biscuits, and Gilmore Girls with my girl was pretty perfect. 
Home Again
Just got back from another trip to my parents in Modesto while Cameron is in New York. I think I win the award for best parents ever.

)n.1. The coming or arrival, especially of something extremely important
Starting Dec. 1 we will start counting down the days till Christmas. Last year we had so much fun opening up a surprise each day. I think I loved it even more than Addy. So fun to have something fun to do together, all in anticipation of Jesus' Birthday. I am working on preparing all of the activities for this year's calendar. Here is what we did last year. I included in parentheses what I put into each pouch to signify the activity we would do. If we were going to be out of town I just put in a cute Christmas decoration.
1. Decorate Christmas Tree (New Christmas ornament)
2. Serve at Mission Christmas (Mission Chrismtas Flyer and Candy)
3. Make Christmas Ornament for Grandma and Grandpa (Craft Supplies)
4. Out of Town
5. Out of Town
6. Candlelit Dinner Around the Tree ( Candle and Plate)
*Addy still talks about this one. She loved it!
7. Dance Party (Christmas CD)
8. Buy Toy for Another Child (Addy’s Mision Xmas Bag from Church)
9. Read Christmas Books In Front of the Fire (Library Books about Christmas)
10. Out of Town
11. Bake Gingerbread Cookies with Family (Gingerbread Man)
12. Out of Town
13. Hunt for Pinecones and Decorate (Pinecone and glitter)
* Another big hit.
14. Walk Fig Garden Christmas Tree Lane with Cam and Andrew (Starbucks Cup)
15. Make Gingerbread House (Gingerbread House Picture)
16. Christmas Movie Night (Popcorn and Movie)
17. Walk Clovis Christmas Tree Lane (New Handmade Hat)
18. Special Craft with Bachmans (Old Crayons and Silicone Baking Sheet)
19. Collect Canned Goods and Donate to Pantry (Canned goods and grocery bag)
20. Christmas Milkshakes (Red and White Striped Straws)
21. Zoo Lights (Animals)
22. Make and Deliver Christmas Cookies to Neighbors (Cookie cutters)
23. Make Christmas Cards for Family (Craft Supplies)
24. Bake Cupcakes for Jesus’ Birthday (Cupcake Wrappers)
I love that Addy calls cupcakes God's favorite snack. So cute!
25. Celebrate Christmas! (Gift Box)

Bisneyland
That's right. Bisneyland. At least, that is what Addy calls it. This morning Addy said, "Mom, I miss Bisneyland. I just want to go back." I can sympathize. We spent the 3 days last week at the Happiest Place on Earth with my parents. It was an amazing trip. Seriously, so fun.
