Abby's tribute to Michael Jackson

Festival of Light

Last weekend Dave, Abby, my friend Adrienne, and I traveled down to Chickasha to see the Festival of Light. She wasn't near as excited by these lights as the others (hopefully more pics to come soon) but the ducks were definitely entertaining to her.

Bundled up and traveling in style

First Sleepover

Abby had another first on Friday night...her good friend Riley came and spent the night with us while her mom was on call at the hospital. Even though they're about 1.5 years apart in age, they make pretty good friends. Riley has taught Abby such good things as "cheese" when you take a picture and "poo poo in the potty, not your diaper, Abby".

The night started off with a little dinner of nuggets, corn, and green beans. Abby had to sit at the big girl table with Riley and not in her high chair. It was pretty successful. Now we'll have to start keeping the table clean and not using it for storage.

They shared an after dinner snack of blueberries and oranges while watching Frosty.



Giving me their serious faces......



But they couldn't keep 'em straight for long!



We had bathtime ( no pics of that one....but there were bubbles ALL OVER the place!)

Then they jumped on the bed. I know that's probably not a great habit to get into, but they were having so much fun jumping and wresting I couldn't stop them!

I knew it was too quiet a little while later...I found Riley taking Abby's temperature with a plastic shooter from her little McDonald's air gun. At least it was an axillary temp....

Yep, we enjoyed the night. And the girls enjoyed each other. Made us think maybe we could handle 2. Either way, we love you, Riley, and you're welcome back anytime!

Oh Christmas Tree....

Got the Christmas tree up last weekend. With a little help from my friend....who actually created an extra 20 minutes of work for me untangling the beads.

To be honest, the ornaments are a little rearranged now since Abby likes to move them every couple of days.

Our star topper is a little sad....it's like the leaning tower of DeLeon. But it's been a week and it still hasn't fallen.


Happy Holidays!

Santa 2009

We knew it was coming. This was the year.

The Full Monty

Here's the rest of our pictures from our Thanksgiving photo shoot. My goal was to just get Abby holiday photos, but we decided to do a few family ones too. I loved the hat....unfortunately she wouldn't keep it on for more than a couple of shots.

Enjoy!
