This weekend we went to our neighborhood Christmas party, where Annette enjoyed doing crafts. In addition to coloring, she made a hand print ornament and a jingle bell rattle.

Yesterday was Annette's 15 month birthday, and we went to the doctor's office for her check-up today. She weighs 25 pounds 2 ounces (80th percentile) and is 33 inches long (98th percentile!). She is going to be tall just like her parents :-)

Last year Annette enjoyed going to see Santa,

but this year she was having none of it. While she's been getting bigger, it seems like Santa has shrunk!
