Birthday Girl
Peapod had her 1st birthday about 10 days ago, and here she is before cake and then after. She had fun–we all had fun.
So yes, I’m sure you’re probably thinking that she looks like a boy in the top picture…c’mon, you know you were. I dress her in blue a lot, and people think she is a boy lots. It’s funny–it doesn’t bother me like it did with Small Bean. People thought she was a boy too, and it made me mad.
(Do you hear my head getting bigger as I think about how much more mature I am this time around?…hahahahaha….yeah, right.)
So by this time of the year, I’m supposed to (according to the grand Pooh-Bah of organization) have my Christmas presents purchased and sitting in my neatly organized closet, if not already wrapped and sitting in my neatly organized closet. I am going to have to sheepishly admit that I have not really started on Christmas up to now, and that I’ve got a lot of work to do. However, I have given a considerable amount of thought to other fun parts about Christmas, which are probably not as important. For example, I think it would be very cool to put a garland over the front door for Christmas. I found a fabulous picture in a mag, so we’ll see if that materializes. Now that I’ve put it in writing, we’ll see. 
The other fun thing I’ve thought of is to have a party between Christmas and New Years. I remember thinking last year that there was so much going on up until the 25th, but then the week between Christmas and New Years was pretty quiet. So if I ever have a Christmas party, it might actually be AFTER Christmas. Sounds like a fun idea to me, we’ll see.
were you able to get the chocolate out of her outfit???? What a great picture!!!

Yeah, it came out. I just washed it right away, plus, the outfit was already stained. Hand-me-downs are great for that!

I hope by grand pooh-bah of organization you meant me of course, and my recommendation for christmas this year is that you give gifts of charity or gift cards, so there is no need for a christmas gift closet. Hope you have a great thanksgiving!
