My friend Katie Cline and I have been friends since the 10th grade. We did everything together in high school, were college roommates, and even lived in 2 different apartments together here in Cartersville after Graduation until Katie got married in May 2001. With her marriage she inherited a 4 year old daughter named Tiffany and then together they had a son - Jacob in 2002. Eventhough our children have a huge age gap they still love to get together and play. I think it makes Tiffany who is now 12 and Jacob 6 feel special for Addison to always welcome them to play. She loves to show Tiffany "EVERY" toy she has and she loves the fact that Jacob will do anything to make her laugh (even self-mutilation) silly boys! We let the kids exchange gifts every year and we get to sit back and watch the fun. Tiffany is a HUGE Twilight fan so Addison gave her the Edward Collector Barbie which she instantly fell in love with and Jacob like any other boy got a set of Transformers that he instantly ripped from the package and started playing with. From the Clines Addison received a poseable Strawberry Shortcake with DVD, a set of Jungle in My Pocket animals (her newest loves), a Santa Mr. Potato Head, a flexy Cinderella doll, and several coloring books and sticker books too! Needless to say all the kids came out on top! While they were here I had Tiffany set-up my new Wii Fit (she is a self proclaimed Wii master -- We'll see!) All in all the afternoon was a great success and I looked forward to many more years of friendship and gift exchange too!
