The BIGGEST post ever!

So, we've got a TON to catch up on since we've been so bad about posting. I've got quite a few pictures of Adah to put on here from various occasions, mostly notably her 2ND birthday! Which happened yesterday, crazy!  Anyway, I'll put up all of the highlights from the last few weeks up here. We wanted to take some video, but have no clue what we did with our video camera :(  

And just kind of a funny birthday story.  Adah was absolutely terrified of her presents for her birthday.  We put them down by her and she started screaming "No! Don't! Stop!" So we tried to help her but she still didn't want anything to do with them, and tried throwing them and kicking them away.  Anyway, we finally just opened them ourselves while Adah hid behind Katie's back, unwilling to come out.  After they were opened she liked them a lot though, especially all of "The Little Mermaid" stuff.

Also, in some fun news, we're having our very first Thanksgiving away from either of our homes, so that will be fun! We're having like 15 people over: some couples from our ward, and also some of my friends from the theatre department at the University of Idaho that were still in town with nowhere to go.

So, without further ado, picture #1: Adah at her miniature sized birthday party with her friend Jessica

Picture #2: Adah sleeping with her sweet new Ariel blanket which she LOVES, and her new Ariel Barbie which she basically carries around nonstop.

Picture #3: Adah in her new Ariel towel.  She also has a black eye that you can see in this picture. I think she kind of looks like a boxer in this one.

Picture #4: Adah at the duck pond by our house a few weeks ago.

Picture #5: Adah with a deer on a walk near our house. She thought it was a "Cow Rabbit", and no matter how much I told her "deer", she'd keep calling it a cow rabbit. Pretty cute.

Picture #6: On a walk a few weeks ago as the leaves were falling. Pretty leaves and an even prettier baby!

Picture #7: Adah's first tattoo.  Which, although you can't tell in this picture, she was REALLY scared of. She was sobbing and trying to rub it off her arm.

Picture #8: Adah's first haircut. This took place in October actually, just prior to taking a family picture with Katie and her siblings.  Katie's brother Neal said that Adah looked like she had a mullet, so that was that :)
