23 Months!
Every month when I'm writing the blog I think that I'm not going to have much to write. I am always thinking, "at least I took pictures", because I can always put those in the blog, but it didn't seem like we did a lot in the past month. So as I was writing this months, of course I thought the same thing. Then, when I started digging through all of the pictures I realized that we did do that in the past month. So, our month in review:
At the end of November we went to the Greenville Zoo with Adisyn's friend, Jefferson, and his family. This was the first time Jefferson has been to this zoo and it was a cold morning! We took along our wagon for the two of them to ride in and stay warm. They really liked looking at the animals together! After the zoo they played at the park and had a lot of fun!
At the end of last month, Adisyn spent more time with her friend McNeill. They went to the Princess Academy at the SC Children's Theater :

We also celebrated Thanksgiving! Mark had to work the week of Thanksgiving, so that Saturday we went over Grandma & Grandpa's house. It was really nice to see the whole family as Sarah, Wayne, and Sue were there as well as uncle Ron and Louise were there too. Adisyn loved playing with Sarah. They played with their dolls and watched
Wizard of Oz.

This past month has been all about preparations and starting traditions. Each weekend we've been doing a different craft or event to get ready for Christmas.
I love to see the excitement in her eyes! Each weekend we made cookies, hand print ornaments for the family, painted pictures, decorated the tree and sang plenty of Christmas songs!
Adisyn loved decorating the Christmas tree and hanging up the ornaments. She LOVES it when the lights are turned on, as she gets excited. Grandma and Grandpa were over one weekend so we went to Hollywild Zoo light show:

Then, when at the end, there was a Santa's village, where Adisyn got to feed animals, ride on a horse and see Santa Clause. She loved it and to make it even more enjoyable it was unseasonably warm that night so it was perfect!

We also went to the Greenville Christmas parade: http://www.greenvillesc.gov/PublicInfo_Events/ChristmasParade.aspx and Adisyn loved all the music and all the lights! It doesn't get more exciting than this! After the parade we went to Roper Mtn. Lights:

It appears that Adisyn is going through a growth spurt as a lot of her 18 month clothes are getting small (even though it depends on the clothing). She is talking so much more every day and it's so exciting to hear what she's going to say next! She loves to dance and sing, so I finally got it on video!:
