Our Last Party of 2007

We had our last Christmas Party yesterday. It was a pretty fun time.

This is kinda a random picture, but I know at least Amy will enjoy it...

This is Spencer, my aunt's dog. He and Elsie and Presley had a pretty good time. He and Elsie have the same coloring, so it is funny to see them together, Elsie is like Spencer's mini-me. I tried to get a picture of them together, but obviously that didn't work out.

Addie made a couple friends at the Christmas party! My cousin Abby's daughter Jane, thought Addie was so much fun... at first Addie wasn't sure about her though.

Seconds before that picture Addie was laughing! Addie is a known nose-biter, and Jane thought this was hilarious!
Here is another try at getting their picture taken together... can you tell how exhausted Addie was? Poor thing.

And when Ella sees the camera out, she has to get in on the action!

Addie made yet another friend! We all got to meet my other cousin Maggie's new baby Holland! Maggie lives in Pennsylvania, so we don't see her often. Holland is almost 2 months old! And we think only 2 lbs less than Addie... I think someone needs to put some more weight on!!! Addie will be 9 months in a week and a half!
Addie is turning into quite the bully.
All she wanted to do is give her hugs and kisses :(
Addie must be very frightening!!!
Addie also got to visit with her Great Grandma. We had to make sure to get a picture because last time we visited we forgot the camera!!! No smiles from Addie though :( Maybe next time!

Before I forget! I want to quick post the before and afters of our kitchen!

Here it is!



I don't know why it turned out so small... but oh well! I like it a lot better so far, it is much less dingy looking! We still have to do the rest of the woodwark in the dining area, but the cabinets were the biggest task, so I am happy to be done with that! I think we need a new dishwasher now, because I think the black looks bad, but it still works, so Joel says no :(

I hope everyone has a great New Year!!! I am off to make sock animals until Joel gets home!

Very cute pictures!! Addie really likes to eat noses, huh? LOL. Sorry, but I'm with your hubby on the dishwasher :)

You are right...I DO love that dog picture!! :) What a cutie!

Your kitchen looks fabulous and I think it really brightens it up with those nice cabinets. :)

And the name Holland...cute! I have not heard that one before!

So that is 2 votes for keeping the dishwasher and only 1 vote for wasting it and buying a new one. Looks like you're outnumbered.

Spencer could be our dog Arlo's uncle. Adorable photos of all the children! Kitchen looks a lot brighter. I think we have/had the same cabinets - we're in the middle of a redo too.

The kitchen looks great, Amanda. It's amazing what a little color will do...it sure brightens it up in there.
