Chasing Lillian

As we all know Lillian looks exactly like her daddy and apparently she has some of his same interests. She is taking after him with his love of video games and controllers. Lillian the other day was wearing her daddy’s headset that he uses to play his video games with and loved playing with the Xbox controller. She especially liked saying the letters on the controller (A, B, X and Y). If Lillian could of asked for a pony her daddy would of given her one right then. He was so proud! Oh Lillian’s other favorite thing to watch on the TV besides Wheel of Fortune is the Xbox menu. She will stand or sit in awe and just watch daddy flipped through the menu. I have no idea what i’m going to do with possibly two video game lovers.

These are some more pictures of Lillian just messing around. I was trying to keep her sleepy self entertained while I cooked dinner. So this is what I came up with: wooden spoon, laundry basket, mixing bowls (we have two sets so I used the other to cook with no worries), and colored plastic balls. Who needs store bought toys?!?!?

So here is our Halloween update and a few other happenings. Sorry for the lateness but better late than never. To the left is the pumpkin that Dave carved at our annual Sunday school Halloween social. He did a great job! We won second place in our class carving contest. So proud….haha! Dave being the avid video game player decided to carve a enemy from the game space invaders. The picture doesn’t do the pumpkin justice but you get an idea.

This year for Halloween Lillian was Alice in Wonderland. I found the costume on sale at a local Halloween store and it was on sale so I got it! Love me a sale. I must say Lillian made a precious Alice in Wonderland. We went trick or treating over in Crestline Village with Grandmama, Granddaddy, the Thorntons (Aunt Hannah’s in-laws), Uncle Browning, Aunt Hannah, little “B” (Browning) and Aunt Rebekah. It was cold but fun! Lillian didn’t quite get into the trick or treating right off.With some coaxing from her daddy she started to get into it and walk up to people’s houses and got some candy. The M&M’s were her favorite. We chose to go to Crestline Village because the neighborhoods over there go all out for Halloween. Most of the houses are all decorated and people are dressed up handing out candy. They also have a live band over there and food.

Also during the month of October I took Lillian along with my friend Lauren and her little girl Brooklyn to the pumpkin patch in Hayden, AL. At the pumpkin patch we did the petting zoo, rode the covered wagon out to the pumpkin patch, ran through the maze of hay bales, ran around and touched lots of pumpkins, played with the toys in the country gift shop and all kinds of other things. The girls had a good time. It was an all day event so both the mama’s and daughter’s were worn out! Pretty sure both Lillian and I took naps when we got home. It was tough to get Lillian to look at the camera for pictures. I tried to get some good ones of her.
