April 10- Tonight there was a girl scout event that Addison and I participated in. It was thinking day and each troop chose a country to learn about and then set up a booth to teach others. So the country that Addison's troop chose was Norway. Partly, mostly, because of the Frozen movie!
Back up a couple of weeks and we were at a book fair at the library. We were checking out and Addison gave the woman checking us out a compliment. She really like her necklace. The woman said it was a coin from Norway. Addi got excited and told her that her ancestors were from Norway and her girl scout troop was doing a project on Norway. Jane told us that she had some authentic traditional dresses from Norway and asked if we would like to use them for the event. What? Who, other than Addison, is able to make connections like this? The girl has a gift!
So, we went to her house and she let us borrow these amazing dresses! The dress that Addison wore was probably a 100 years old or more. The dress I wore was custom made for her aunt in 1969. They both fit amazingly well! Addison was an absolute doll in that dress! Jane was so sweet to let us use them! She didn't even know us! It was so nice to get to know her!

The Norwegian Girls!
Addison was able to carry the flag in the opening ceremony!
She is SERIOUSLY cute!
Kate and Addi...they are both Norwegian!
Our booth! I was able to put it together....fun crafty stuff! We really did have a great booth! Mary had a friend in Norway and sent all kinds of cool stuff!
I was trying to catch Addi in action from over the booth. I got busted! It is truly a "Ahh MOM!" moment!
