Mommy's big helper

"mommy, I dropped it!"
Abigail wanted to try what mommy was doing to make her smile for the picture. :)

Today we had such a good time. Hopefully the beginning of a fun new tradition of my big helper to the massive amounts of pumpkin muffins that must be made each and every Thanksgiving! Started by my mom who loaded us up with a million of these little orange miracles every Thanksgiving of my childhood. Abigail obviously loves to help in the kitchen and this year I plopped her on the counter top and let her participate in the making of a million muffins. She giggled and laughed and got into every little ingredient I added. She was too cute in her bib overal's (thanks Annie and Jason , you rock!) and her painted red toes! We sang to Michael Buble and enjoyed ourselves to the fullest. Looking forward to many more holiday cooking memories with my Bit! :) Thank God for our Holiday blessing this year!

The year of the Chicken ...

The beginning of the day we experienced "The Angry Chicken" (pictured left).... by the end of the day she realized she got attention and food from the outfit so she was absolutely fine with it (pictured right)
I hope one day she'll forgive me for putting her through this cause she was soooo mad at her mommy that morning!

Party at the Downy's

This year Halloween started early as the Bit and I hit Daddy's office then Grammie Christine's office, then my office, then over to the hospital to Labor and Delivery unit and Aunti D's unit! Needless to say the Chicken was quite pooped by the end of the morning! She was a big hit and we had such a good time. That evening was celebrated at the Downy's house. We had a great time! Our dear friends were very sweet not to mind the chicken waddling up to their plates full of holiday goodies with her mouth wide open, sometimes grabbing sneakily with out permission!! Sorry guys! We're working on this bad habit. Such a fun night even if we did bail out too early to get the chicken to bed. Happy Halloween!!
