the essence

My grandmother & her husband came over on Thursday & were finally able to meet Kate! Kate loved my grandmother & just kept smiling at her.



She made for a comfy spot to nap, too



Addison got Papa Dick to play "kitchen" with her



Gram got Addison a cookie at Target; that's all it really takes for Addison to like you



The weekend was actually pretty nice. I was going to have a garage sale but it was too cold when I woke up. Ray's mom took Addison to one of her client's daughters birthday parties which was held at a farm - pony rides (Addison wouldn't go), hay rides (she loved that!), & petting, feeding, & holding the animals. Addison loved it & Ray & I had a chance to go out to Barnes & Noble. I even met another mom tehre & we're meeting up for storytime today.

Sunday we went out to Olive Garden for lunch with some of our friends after church. I just love having Christmas money left. I also have plans to go out to the movies with some of this money I still have...any suggestions? (I haven't been in nearly a year!)
