Rudolph the Red-Nosed....GOAT??

We put up our decorations last weekend (I wish I had my camera to take a pic, but Dan needed it for work today), while Addison was sleeping. Usually we wait until a little bit later, but just seeing the excitement everytime we went to the store and Addison saw a Santa or snowman or a Chrithmith tree...we caved and put it up early. She woke up from her nap when we were about halfway through and as she came down the stairs she was asking,
"what's that?"
(garland)

"what's thaaaat?"
(Stockings)

"what's Thaaaat?"
(Christms Village)

"KRITHMITH TREEEEE!!!!"
Yeah, she knew that one pretty well! She helped us finish decorating the tree and was pulling out decorations from a box, telling us what they were as she handed them over:

"House"
"Stocking"
"Bell"
"Star"
"Goat"

wait a second..goat? Dan and I turn and look at her, and she's holding Rudolph who, to an unknowing toddler, slightly does resemble a goat!

She also helped add to our Christmas Village set this year...we had a Library, a Church and a FireHall...now our village is populated by Little People, complete with furnishings - outside the library, you can see a lovely pastel pink potty, there's a purple car riding through the village, and a lovely dining room set.

Addison's been a funny one this fall. She loves to play "Where's Addison." This doesn't mean that she hides and we find her. On the contrary, she thinks she has discovered how to make herself INVISIBLE. Oh yes, she closes her eyes and says, "Where's Addison?" Then she opens her eye ever so slowly and giggles when we say, "THERE SHE IS!" And we play this game over and over and over and over.....
