Visions of sugarplums...

New digs

We're getting ready to travel and thought that this would be the solution to some of the 'bring everything but the kitchen sink' issue that tends to happen when traveling with a baby. It's a tent that folds up to the size of a pizza - it's made just for this purpose... and it's perfect for Addy! Here she is trying it out!

Now bring us some figgy pudding

All three of us went to the 'Figgy Pudding' competition on Friday night...it's a competition of carolers held in downtown Seattle. Here's Addy - enjoying the music and all of the comments she got on her reindeer antlers!

"I've posed for pictures...

...now what can I get into?"

Teddy bears, oh my!

Addy and I went to the 'Teddy Bear Suite' on Friday. Basically it's a hotel suite filled with teddy bears and holiday decorations - designed by a local artist. Addy and I were the only ones there for the first few minutes, so Addy was able to get up close and personal with all of the toys.

Just ducky!

Bath time (in the new duck tub)!
