Kids & Moms at Play

 So yesterday we got to play a lot with cousins. We're getting in all the time we can before moving to Elko next week. The kids had a blast just being together while I helped Jeanette (my sister-in-law) with her very first sewing project. It was awesome to help her and to see her catch on so quick....she's a natural!!!
 Alivia and Ashlynn playing in the rain. It was hard to get them to stay in after this.
 BEST BUDS!!! Addelyn and her very best friend Nate (also cousin). They love each other so much and would do anything and I mean anything for each other:) They are sure going to miss one another!
 Pretty girl Ashlynn! Who reminds all of us of Addelyn in her toddler years! Oh boy!!
 Alivia having a ball outside. I love her chubby legs!!
 Earlier that day Nate was over and doing some crafts!


The newest member of the sewing family! Nate is going to love his cars pillow!
*Jeanette*
Helping Jeanette with this pillow definitely put me in the mood to make some cute pillows for the girls. Great job Jeanette!

*Making a Snowman*

We had so much fun today making a snowman out of popsicle sticks! We love doing crafts together and get have some good mother daughter talks too!

 Addelyn with her snowman. I had to add the snow in the picture....Adds to the holiday spirit!


I had to get a picture of my Alivia too....dirty face and all!
This is where Addelyn decided to hang her snowman.

PUMPKIN PATCH
 Right before we left. Livvy would not take a picture unless she had her bottle.
 Addelyn got her face painted.


The girls climbing all over the pumpkins....I think they thought it should be a maze!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN
 Addelyn was so proud of her door she decorated
Adde was Tinkerbell....she added the snow boots....NOT surprised. Alivia was a lady bug!


 HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY ADDELYN
 She was really excited to go to preschool that day because she was bringing cupcakes to class.
LET'S P-A-R-T-Y

 Addelyn and her friends
 Her favorite gift she got was a pillow pet from her cousin Nate
 Singing to the birthday girl
THINGS WE LOVE ABOUT OUR ADDELYN
1. She makes fun everywhere she goes. Does not matter the place.
2. Her constant singing and dancing.
3. Such a rock-star big sister.
4. She changes into about 100 outfits a day. We never know what to expect!
5. Her love and concern for her family. Especially her cousin Nate.
6. Always trying to fit into Livvy's clothes even though they are way too tight.
7. The way she tells us she wants whiskers like Daddy...lol!
8. She always rolls down the back window at the bank and asks the teller for suckers.
9. Whenever her cousin Nate is in trouble or sad she always is on his side no matter what....then she tries to stand up to the adults about it....seems to always be Uncle B...lol!
10. The sweet little put very long prayers that come out of her mouth.
I could go on and on about her but will stop here....
LOVE YOU ADDELYN!


A TIME OF THANKFUL HEARTS
~TO ELKO, NV WE GO~
As most of you know Dave landed a job in Elko, NV!!! YAY!!! Finally after 5 months being out of school:) We feel so blessed at this time in our lives. We know we have been guided in this direction in life for a reason and we are looking forward to making some new friends in Elko. We will most definitely miss our family and friends in AZ but if you have been in contact with our family these past 8 months you would know that this has been a very long time coming and are happy that we'll get to be a family again! Getting ready Elko the ATTRIDGE FAM IS COMING TO TOWN....WATCH OUT...LOL!

HOLIDAY/GOODBYE GIFT FOR MS. JONES
Addelyn and I made some peppermint bark for her teacher....let just say sooo yummy! If you have never tasted it before it's a must. If you want the recipe just let me know...I'm so happy to share!
 Here's the cute little box we put it in and a little note we cut out with my Cricut Machine.

Well that's all for now. We hope this holiday season finds you in good health and happiness! Love you all***
