A month in review

Recap of the last month:
After my Nov 6th post, our freezer went out, luckily we had a back up one in the garage to get us through until we could go look for a new one. I got lucky and got a black one with French doors and a bottom freezer. It has the ice/water option on the front and after being without an ice maker for 2.5 years since we didn't have a water line, it was so nice to get it and not have to use those darn ice tray!! Addyson had her 4 month check up Nov. 14th and weighed 11 lbs, 13 oz and was 24 inches. She is in the 50%ile for height and 10% ile for weigh and head circumference. We have had several lunch dates with friends and family the past month, and as always we enjoy those very much! My grandma and Brett got moved to their new place. We had Addyson's ears pierced November 21st, she did awesome! She cried a few seconds and then was fine. She doesn't even notice them, and let's us clean them without any fuss. Addy's first Thanksgiving weekend was a great one and we loved seeing family. Thanksgiving night we went out shopping and were at Toys R Us and Walmart. I have always done Black Friday shopping with my mom, but this year Jared, Jason, and I went out early and mom watched Addy for us since it was way too cold. I was tired from working the night before and being up all day so after getting home at 1am I crashed and we didn't go out again on Friday. The day after Thanksgiving we usually put our tree up so we got that done and got the house decorated. Addy loves the lights! We also took down the bassinet as we had to have somewhere for the pack and play since the tree went up in that spot and she will be too big for the bassinet before long. We had to get one more photo in it though ;)
Yesterday we went down to Frontenac/Pittsburg with my mom and dad and saw my brother and their Skills USA program put on a pancake breakfast and then we went to the mall and had lunch before going back to the Harley School so Addy could get her picture taken with the Grinch on a Harley and Jared and I got in on it too. We were disappointed Santa wasn't there so back to the mall we went and Addy got to sit on his lap. Last night was my work Christmas party and then we went and had a couple of drinks after and my mom stayed at our house and watched Addy for us. This was the longest we have both been away from her at the same time. It was nice to get out and we had a really good time, but we missed her a lot! Grandma said she was really good and did scan the house for us awhile after we had left. It is amazing how much Addy picks up on for being so little. I am not feeling well, so Jared took Addy to his parents this evening for a visit and dinner with them and his brother's family and he said she was really good! She is so entertaining and keeps us laughing! We are about 70% done with our Christmas shopping and can't believe Christmas is 3 weeks away now! Where has the year gone? I plan on updating before a month next time! Happy Holidays everyone :)
