FRIDAY!

I shouldn't be that excited bc Mitch works both days this weekend, BUT I'm glad because Aunt Alli came over this morning! All week she's been planning on taking Addy to the Nifty Nuthouse. She's got a ton of Christmas gifts to buy. They left about 15 minutes ago, and Gabi is STILL crying that she didn't get to go. She's known all week only Addy was going. I know she's disappointed, but I don't feel bad. It's good for the wolf pack to be seperated every once in awhile and to be out in the world without their safety net. I laugh, but it's very apparent that they are becoming more of a wolf pack every day. Without meaning to, they intimidate other kids because they do "roll four deep" and have such a rapport among themselves. I'd be intimidated if I was facing them alone as a small child! A friend visited over Thanksgiving and Rafe told my friend he was going to throw HER in the trash, and Addy immediately followed that up with, "and I'm spraying my [spider girl] webs on both of them." Not quite acceptable in society! :-/

Yesterday the big girls and I got our teeth cleaned. It was Addy's first time. I wasn't sure of how she'd do, especially after getting scoped earlier in the week, but Jodi is an AWESOME hygenist, and Addy did fantastic. She did better than Gabi actually, who refused to have bitewing xrays because she thought she might sneeze and bite her cheek... Anyway, when we made our 6mo appts it was just 2 days before Addy's 4th bday! Hard to believe!!

Erin, I DO have lots of baptism pics! I need to find time and figure out how I'm going to post them. The one good thing about FB is that I could put it to where only "friends" could see my pics. I hate to have them all "out there." I saw an alpaca farm article in the Eagle a few days ago and thought of you ;)

Pottery Barn made me very happy on Cyber Monday. I've never bought anything from PB before, but I LOVE their style and could live in a PB magazine and be completely happy. Anyway, there is this duvet cover I've wanted for over a year. I first saw it last fall. It's a wintery duvet cover with snow covered branches, berries, and cardinals. So beautiful, and so something I would love. On Cyber Monday I bought it. Got it on sale AND got free shipping. The shams arrived a few days later, but my cover was supposed to be on backorder until Jan 6th. I got it last week. YAY! I love it--and can't wait for Mitch to give it to me on Christmas hahaha.

Amazon also made me really happy! I always buy diapers from there, and bought some for a potty-training-in-progress Rafe last week. When they arrived only 2/3rds of the diapers were in the box! They sent out another 222 diapers and said to keep the rest. HOLLA. Hopefully those are the last diapers I need for Mr. Rafe!

This is such a random post. I'm missing FB today because The Office last night was sooo funny and I really wish I was quoting it to AMANDA!

Lexi is doing good. Quickly getting chubby cheeks! She was 3wks yesterday! It goes so fast. She holds her neck up really well, and is hitting those 1mo milestones like a champ. I swear she already knowingly smiles at me. That or she just smiles A LOT.

I still have so much to do for Christmas. The biggest things are 1)stockings 2)finish my super duper special heirloom bears!!!!

El Fin.
