The neighborhood gets older

Addie (short for Adorable) may not turn officially 1 until Tuesday, but she did get to dig into her birthday cupcake today. It was a full house of revelers, Grandparents from Portland and Texas, and baby group buddies. And then there were the OLD kids Eve (7), Eli(4) and Natalie (3) from the hood who were very helpful when it came to opening presents. Some of us can still remember Kyle and Tiffany before Addie's arrival. They used to have these Octoberfest parties where much beer was consumed and it would rock on into the wee hours. I think last October it broke up around 11pm. But it wasn't all their fault. Most of the party-goers had babysitters they promised would be home before midnight. My little one goes off to college so I am ready to party all night long & my neighborhood goes preschool on me. Sigh.
