New Christmas Tree

Madelyn read a book while sitting on the tree box as Daddy assembled the new tree. What a patient girl!

Yummy Breadsticks

Madelyn thoroughly enjoyed eating breadsticks for the first time!

"They're so good that I need three!"

A Trip to Build-a-Bear

Grammy and Papaw treated Madelyn to a trip to Build-a-Bear to design her own stuffed animal. After much consideration, she decided that the yellow kitty was her favorite.

She picked out a heart for kitty then watched as the stuffing was put inside. Kitty also makes a "meowing" sound when her paw is pressed. Madelyn loves hearing it!

She named her special friend "Meow." She had so much fun!!

Happy Halloween!

Madelyn was a flower princess for Halloween this year. She LOVED her costume!!

"Let me in, please!"

Two cuties! Madelyn's friend Ava was a kitty cat and SO cute!

Three neighborhood friends trick-or-treating together. So sweet!

Here she is checking out the loot with Daddy. She was very excited to have a lollipop and M&Ms.

Madelyn's First 5K Run

Last Saturday Madelyn enjoyed her first 5K run with Mom and Dad. It was a cool 45 degrees when the race started at 8 a.m.

She was all bundled up for the fun morning.

Daddy and Madelyn made a good running pair!

With the finish line in sight, Madelyn got out of the stroller to run on her own.

This was her sprinting toward the finish line!!

"Great job, Madelyn!! We're so proud of you!"

This 5K was fun for the entire family!

The Pumpkin Patch

Madelyn had a great time visiting the pumpkin patch at the Dallas Arboretum last weekend!

Her favorite thing was playing in this large wooden pumpkin-shaped structure.

"I'm having SO much fun climbing on the pumpkins!!"

"Hello Mr. Scarecrow!"

Back in the pumpkin-shaped structure again and climbing, of course. Thank goodness Daddy was close by to help!

Since orange is her current favorite color, this big orange bush (shaped like a pumpkin) just had to be touched!

Fun with Grammy & Papaw

Madelyn loved gathering leaves from Grammy & Papaw's yard when we visited last weekend!

A special leaf for Grammy.

A leaf for Papaw, too!

She loved riding in the wagon with Katie, Uncle Matt & Aunt Nori's little puppy!
