Maddy turned 3 years old on Friday, Dec. 2, 2011! We can't believe it either. We had a small birthday party on Sat. Dec. 3, 2011 including both Grandmas and Godparents. She was delighted with all the wonderful birthday wishes she received and had no trouble understanding what to do when it was gift opening time. This Christmas should be really fun because she now gets excited about opening presents. On the morning of Madeline's birthday party, she was able to have another right of passage. She went to see Santa Claus! Daddy and Grandma Huseby took Maddy to our local elementary school where Santa (AKA- Uncle Byron, Matt's brother) visited with all the boys and girls. Her face lit up when it was her turn and she could sit on Santa's lap.
This fall/winter has been a treat as far as the weather is concerned. It has been so dry that we still have grass showing. The weathermen have predicted a "brown" Christmas here which is extremely rare. The snowmobilers are not happy, but we aren't complaining a bit.
Maddy has grown 3/4" since our last post approx. a month ago. She went from 37 3/4" to 38 1/2" and weighs 37 lbs. She is such a grown-up girl now. Potty training is going quite well too. She still wears a Pull-Up for nap and overnight, but during the day there are very few accidents. Matt continues to work on the living room remodel. Debbie continues to enjoy being a stay-at-home mom. We are busy preparing for Christmas and hope that your holidays are happy and not too stressful.
Have yourself a Merry Christmas and celebrate the hope of a better year in 2012!
