Cookies

Over Thanksgiving, the kids decorated sugar cookies. This was so much fun for them plus you got to eat your cookie afterwards. They were SO excited about all the decorations.
I think there were more decorations than there were cookies.
You have to test the icing to make sure it's okay.
Tucker and his tongue!
Tripp's finished product!
All the "Bakers"!
This was so much fun that we'll have to make it a tradition every Thanksgiving!

Happy . . .

Turkey Day!!! We had such a relaxing, lazy Thanksgiving.

The kids played outside a little.

Even raked a little for Grandma . . .
Climbed a little . . .
Read a little . . . (Ha! Yes those are Redbook Magazines!!)

Watched a little tv . . .
Rested a little . . .
As you can see we did a WHOLE bunch of NOTHING and it was GREAT!!!

Flip

Just an ordinary day in the life of Madi . . . Doing flips . . .
in the living room . . .
The End

Owen turns THREE!

Last Saturday we headed to Roswell for Owen's 3rd Birthday Day party!
My mother in law sent these first two pictures.
I love all the cousins on the slide. You can tell that want to run and play!
This was so funny! Henry was trying to grab Madi and she wanted nothing to do with it! Ha!
Before the party I tried to get a picture of Ethan, Owen and Madison. Here's the best one . . .
I told Madi to enjoy these leaves since there aren't many in Lubbock.
The Birthday Boy
They were making a huge pile of leaves . . .


Ethan
Another one of the Birthday Boy! He was so excited to head to the park.

Henry all ready to go . . .
Madi loves for her Daddy to "JUMP" her real high.
Love the hair . . .


Happy Birthday Sweet Owen!

Aunt Bevie Playdate

Thursday morning we went to Aunt Bevie's house for a playdate.
The kids played, we visited and then had a yummy lunch plus chocolate cake. Aunt Bev sure knows how to make us come back for another visit!
The kiddos hugging Aunt Bevie bye!
Uncle Douge even stopped by during work just to say hello to the kiddos! They asked on the way over if Uncle Douge would be there to play. He always sits on the floor and plays with them. I really think that Madi and Tucker see him as a playmate. Ha!
Due to us being professional soccer players now (ok maybe not professional . . . YET!) Matt needed some ankle braces to wear while playing.
Well, Madi thought they were for her instead . . .

She was very patient and put both on and "tied" them up!
Silly girl!

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas . . .

. . . in Madi's room!
Yes, we already put up Christmas decorations this past weekend.
It's a "compromise of sorts" since I like to have all decorations down and my house cleaned the day after Christmas.
So we put it up a little on the early side.
This year Madison has her very own Christmas tree in her bedroom.
My mom found this "M" for me to use as a bow holder but since I already had one I decided it would be the best Christmas topper for Madi. She really thinks the "M" on all the McDonalds is for Madison. I hate to tell her otherwise! :) So, needless to say the "M" was perfect for her.
We bought the tree last year after Christmas for $12 I think. It's pre-lit and the perfect size for Madi. We also bought pink and green ornaments but strung them with white ribbon and not the sharp hooks.
Then I used the cookie cutter playdoh ornaments we made a few weeks ago also. I just used paint I already had to paint the ornaments and the "M".
Madi helped hang all the ornaments on her tree.
She loves her tree so much. The first thing she wants to do when we get home from somewhere or wake up in the morning is to turn on her Christmas tree!
We also loved these antler ears that I think Matt got as a Secret Santa gift last year.
It's beginning to look alot like Christmas in the Heider House!
(even though it's not even Thanksgiving yet!).

First Haircut

We've been talking about getting Madi's hair trimmed for a while now. So since Matt had some training on Saturday I called Ashley to see if she could get us in. She wasn't working today but said we could come to her house. And since Madi loves to play with Nickolas and Charli we said SURE!
It didn't start too well even though I prepared her for it.

She cried but never moved or got down. For that I was SO thankful.
First cut of those precious baby curls . . .
Here they are . . . (and yes I'm keeping them in her keepsake box).

After we left she said "Momma, she sprayed me!"

A few more cuts . . .
And she was all done!
She didn't need much of a trim but now it looks healthier!
Thanks Ashley!
