Christmas Card Pictures

We had lots of fun taking pictures for our Christmas Card this year... Addyson just wanted to play in the leaves :)

Kerzner Card

Addyson is ready for summer...

She is excited for her new brother or sister to enter the world around July 22nd!

Addyson sporting her new outfit in front of her Christmas Tree (and yes her Christmas Tree has pink/blue balls on it... Delta Glam forever;)

Addyson's little brother/sister is almost 8 weeks and we saw his/her heartbeat this week! Krysta has been sicker this time around but everything looks great!

Addyson and Santa!

We attended Krysta's Grandfather's Christmas Party at his retirement home on Sunday. Addyson walked over to Santa and he lifted her on his lap... no problem. She was so cute posing for pictures. Addyson has the big man wrapped around her finger... smart girl:)

Thanksgiving Week in NJ!

We spent Thanksgiving week in NJ this year. We also celebrated Mom Ardigo's 60th Birthday with a surprise party that we have been planning for months! Nobody spilled the beans and she was very surprised!

Addyson on Thanksgiving (Yes we roll her bangs on special occasions)

This was a fun event, we deep fried a turkey this year. I have to say it was very good!

Everyone waiting for Phyllis on Friday night - as you can see the theme of the party is leopard!

Wine favors... Ryan made this wine! He is so proud and it tastes very good!

Are you talkin to me?!?!?!

If you ask Addyson to give you "The Look" this is what you get... We now call it the "Are you lookin/talkin to me look"

Addyson 17 Months!

Our little girl is already 17 months! Addyson is so loving and smart! She loves to watch her preschool prep series dvds, claps along with Wheel or Fortune, she knows her body parts (she is a little fuzzy with ears and shoulders), she loves bath time and knows her bath animals by name and still loves doggies. We love her so much and are so blessed to have her in our lives!

xoxo,
The Ardigo's

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! Addy had a blast today! We trick or treating at Grandma Kerzner's where we took a bunch of photos in their backyard of Addy enjoying the leaves! Then we went to Lauren and Tom's to say hi! After the Rice's back to our house, ate dinner then went to a few homes in our neighborhood!

Addy loving playing with the leaves and sticks!

Trick or treat!

Ready to go around our neighborhood! Sitting like a princess in her radio flyer with a pillow and blanket!

Trick or treat! Addyson was more interested in the doggie

Getting cold, heading home! Happy Halloween Everyone!

Halloween Round 1

We attended the annual halloween party at the retirement home where Krysta's Grandpa lives. We had a great time and Addyson won the cutest costume contest!

Fall Decorating

We love the fall in the Ardigo home! We love to decorate (labor day) for the fall, participate in fallish activities (wineries, pumpkin patch, etc.) and we love fall food (anything pumpkin inspired)! Krysta's favorite decoration is the glittered pumpkin inspired by Martha Stewart. Ryan is not a huge fan of the glittered pumpkin because the glitter gets all over the house!
