Adventures at EdVenture

Last Saturday we decided to take Addison to Edventure. We had bought the Living social deal so we decided we needed to start using it.  She had so much fun and her favorite thing was climbing inside Eddie and sliding down the slide with Daddy.  This was her second time to Edventure.  The first time we came with Darby and Annie Legare, but Addison wasn't walking then so she couldn't discover everything like she did this time. 

 She loved grocery shopping

 Riding the tractor

We had so much fun- we will definitely be back soon!

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day!
 I can't believe this is Addison's second Valentines Day.  This year we decided to make some treats for her friends at school (she has been going to St. Martins and loves it).  We also gave some treats to Annie Legare, Wrigs, and our soon-to-be friends Baby Lowe and Baby Medley. 

Addison's "I Dig You" shovels

I thought they turned out so cute-  Thanks Megan at Orange Peanut Designs for sharing the cute tags!

Thanks Will and Addison for making me so happy!!!

Circus

We took Addison to the circus this year with the Schroders.  We were front row because we figure thats the only way her and Annie Legare would sit there for 2+ hours. 

Addison, Annie Legare and Geordie loved the Elephants

 Addison dancing

 Loved the $12 snow cone

 Was excited to see the clowns and all the animals...

She loved the circus and had so much fun watching all the animals doing tricks, but we had to leave early!  After 2 hours she was ready to go and it was past our nap time! 

Our little monkey was asleep by the time we were out of the parking lot. 

New Years!

Happy New Years from the Gillespie Family! 

We hope everyone has a wonderful 2012!



Christmas Card Photo Shoot

Here are some pictures from our little "christmas card photot shoot"
It was alot harder this year to get a good pic of Addison and Bailey together. 
We took over 50 pictures and here are some of my favorites!

 Had to move Bailey to the other side to see if that would work better

Sadie wanted to join in on all the fun

 Taking a break...

 Being silly..

And here is the finish project:

We had lots of fun taking all the pictures of our silly little girl and

i think the card turned out to be pretty cute!!! 

Brunch with Santa

We went to "Brunch With Santa" at Forest Lake a few weeks ago. 

It was lots of fun getting into the Christmas spirit!   

Addison met Santa for the first time and was so scared of him. 

But was happy once we sat down to eat.

And loved riding the reindeer with uncle Trey
