Keeping Gramma Happy

It is a busy time of year. Trips planned, gifts to wrap, cookies to be baked, company to prepare for. I also am blessed to be accompanied by a lively, teething 17 month old, who makes planning, wrapping, baking, and company preparing a bit more time consuming than normal.

With that being said my mother has demanded an updated blog...So here goes:

• Addison has taken to waking up before the birds. Today she woke up just after 4 a.m. Um, what? Not cool.
• We have a new addition to the family....Andy's pool table. It is pretty and manly and the balls make the nicest clinkity-clink noises.
• I caught Addie hanging over the couch yesterday and spitting. Nasty. She thought it was funny, I did not.
• We hosted the first half of the neighborhood Christmas party on Friday. It was tame, nice and our house was in better shape after 30 neighbors left than a night of me, Christie and Karen drinking martinis.
• Addison has added "Whoooo" to her repertoire of animal noises. She now can tell you what a kitty cat, a cow, a doggie, a monkey and an owl say. She loves her animals.

So that's the quick update....and to keep Gramma happy, here are some pics I never got around to posting:

Naughty or Nice?? Your decide......
