The fall has flown by and here we are in December. Still no snow here, but it did snow in Spokane on black Friday when we were there with all the crazy holiday shoppers trying to snag a great buy. I scored a kitchenaid mixer and can't stop dreaming up things to make with it. We had a nice Thanksgiving spent here in Moscow with friends. My first pecan pie was a success. We went to bed early and woke up at 4 am on friday to go shopping. Addi thought we were nuts, but was quite the sport about the whole endeavor. The snow and shopping combo was a nice boost for our holiday spirit. Addison has really been excited about the Christmas holidays. She snuck into the spare bedroom and took the only wrapped present she could find that she could carry. She took it to her room and unwrapped it then hid the wrapping paper under her pillow. :o) When she was questioned about the event, her only response was "I don't know..." Last night when we decorated the tree, she was so much fun. She kept talking about how pretty the tree was, and took pride putting each ornament in its place. She even did a great job spacing them out. Tony and I just sat on the couch and enjoyed it. We are looking forward to the rest of what the holidays have to offer us.
