I'm sorry, but Madison's face makes me laugh :)

Miss Madison said she had to put a "hooker" on the ornament :)

What a beautiful week we just had. We have been up here in Coeur d' Alene for almost a week and will head back tomorrow. We have been very busy, but it has been relaxing at the same time. It has been a beautiful white week. We had Thanksgiving dinner here at the house with Mom, Dad, JR, Madison, and my Grandma. We went and visited our friends Matt and Nichole that morning and Madison had her first kiss. Their son Owen gave her a kiss on the lips on the way out and Madison kissed him back. It was so adorable, but JR will deny the whole thing.

On Friday we went down to the parade and the lighting ceremony. Madison really enjoyed the parade, but once the fireworks started she became terrified and we had to leave.

Saturday, Dad, JR, Madison, and I went down to the CDA library, had coffee, and then walked to the shops and did a little shopping.

Today we went back to Matt and Nichole's and the kids went sledding behind Matt's lawnmower. I went with Madison and it was a lot of fun. Tomorrow we head home ( I don't want to). I would move up here in a heart beat. It's just nice to be surrounded by our family and close friends.
