Hallowmas

Happy Hallowmas everyone!  For those of you who don't know, Hallowmas is the celebration of Christmas at Halloween, which is a tradition for the Bell family.  This past weekend we traveled to Unionville, MI and celebrated Hallowmas.  Adelaide met all of her extended family on Dave's side, since both of his parents are originally from that area.

A few highlights from Addie's perspective. Meeting both sets of great grandparents, laughing with Uncle Bryce, playing airplane with Grandpa, sleeping in Grandma's arms and spitting up on Daddy's face. :) Not to mention being entertained by all her second cousins running around.  

The car ride continued to be a struggle for Adelaide.  Great Grandma Bell had a great suggestion of a mirror so that Addie could see the front, since some of her discontentment seems to be coming from boredom.  We'll have to try that out.  This weekend also

 proved to be spit-up central.  Up until now, Addie has not spit up on any sort of regular basis, and I've been thankful.  But this weekend she was Ol' Faithful.  We went through so many outfits and bibs it was ridiculous. I'm really hoping this is just a phase.

Today, Addie is catching up on sleep and looking forward to a quiet day.  It is a beautiful day though, and I may have to get her out to the woods for a hike.  Happy Monday everyone!
