Well let's begin where we left off... Happy Halloween! Sheramie was a good sport this Halloween and dressed up for the ward trunk or treat with me. We were Mousketeers and Madison was our Minnie...

Then we celebrated Turkey Day (and one of Madison's birthday's in Washington)
Here is her cousin Micah sporting a festive feather hat.

Madison just wanted to rip off the hat.

Here is a beautiful cake given to Madison by her sweet Aunt Ta

Thanks for everything Mom & Dad Tinsley! It was nice to be able to spend time with the family.
December 15 Madison turned 1! It was during finals week, so it was pretty hectic, but we had a few friends over and had a birthday bash!
A few days later we made the drive to California, Sheramie hasn't been here for over 2 years and we were happy to come and spend Christmas in some warm sunshine and visit my family!
We had Madison's 3rd and final birthday party the Sunday after we got here. She got some pretty cool things, but her favorite toy of course was the box...

After a fun morning of stockings and presents we have spent the day just lounging around. We pulled out my old rocking chair my grandpa made me when I was just 18 months old...perfect condition even after 25 years!

This holiday season as been a special one and we feel very blessed to have been able to see our families!
Well if you made it to the end of this blog Madison has a special Christmas secret for you..she's going to be a big sister at the end of July! We are all very excited!
Merry Christmas!
