Disneyland Fun

On Saturday, November 22nd, Steve, Lindsay and I went to Disneyland and had a blast! We hit a few rides but the highlight was all the characters we got to spend time with including Chip & Dale, Alice, Peter Pan as well as Santa and Mrs. Claus. Lindsay excitedly sat next to Santa and explained to him that she wants a bike for Christmas. We will have to wait and see if Santa comes through this Christmas.

Haircut Time

Thursday, November 20th was a monumental day for Lindsay - it was the day of her 1st haircut. I know, you are thinking she is 4 years and 3 months and is just getting her 1st haircut? Well, at 15 months she started the habit of when she was tired and sucking her thumb, she would pull her hair. She still sucks her thumb when she gets tired but has substituted what we call "lion hair" for pulling her hair. She has a rocking lion that has a big mane of lion fur (well, it once had) that she pulls off and now uses as she wipers and sucks her thumb. She figured this out completely on her own and I am so proud of her. She totally enjoyed getting her haircut and she said is looking forward to getting her next haircut already.

Way to go Lindsay - Daddy, Ryan and I are so proud of you!!!!

Happy Halloween 2008

Halloween was a blast! Lindsay was Tinkerbell and Ryan was a baseball player. On Thursday we carved our pumpkin (I have officially lost my job of cleaning out the pumpkin as Ryan took over this endeavor all on his own). On Halloween we started out our evening with a party at church and then back home for treat-or-treating. It was a fun-filled evening had by all. Lindsay is already planning what she will be next year.
