Seattle Trip part 2


Shayla was such an amazing friend to Maya. She hung out with her and made her feel so grown-up and so included. She even let Maya sleep in her bed with her.
Maya just ate it all up and loved every minute of it.



Addie barley touched the floor the entire time.









Family is such an amazing thing. We are so lucky to have such an amazing one (family that is).

Trip to Seattle Part 1

To say we had a blast with the Hudson Family and Grammy and Bapa in Seattle for Thanksgiving would be the understatment of the year!
WE HAD SO MUCH FUN!!!!

Chef Maya-Popaya

Maya, Maya, Maya. This girl cracks me up.
She is totally into "cooking" right now.

Here latest "creation" was breakfast this morning. Chopped up bananas, chopped almonds, string cheese and red peppers with a mustard/garlic salt sauce.

What do you do?!!! She totally slaved in the kitchen all morning, chopping each little item and placing it in the bowl and then whisking in the homemade sauce
AND THEN she brought it up to me in my bed at 6:30a.m.
SO PROUD of her new recipe.

so, what do you do?...

I ate every last bite!

My only advice was maybe not so much garlic salt next time.

La La La La, La La La La...

Elmo's World.
Neither Kai or Maya were ever "into" any one character.
Not Dora,
not Thomas,
not Handy Many.
Nothing.

Addison, on the other hand, melts for Elmo.
HE is her prince. (for now)


Thankful Tree

Every night this month our family has been adding to our thankful tree. This is a tradition I am planning on doing every year. We have had so much fun with it.
I printed out little activities to do every day and then there are blank leaves that each of us writes (or draws, or scribbles Ü) something that we are thankful for that day.
By Thanksgiving it should be overflowing with thankfulness.
