A hint of the future?


Today we had a nice family day. We spent the morning cleaning and playing inside. Sarah enjoyed wearing a beanie from Abigail's Larry the cucumber costume. She also was half dressed and going around the house with a shopping cart and hoarding toys. I am concerned and hope this is not a sign of things to come. It did make for a good laugh though. We then enjoyed the unexpected pleasant weather and went to the park where we had the whole park to ourselves the girls had so much fun and Josh and I had fun watching them laugh so much. Hopefully we wore them out enough and now they will take a long nap.

An Angelic Performance

Abigail had her school program today and she was so excited about it. At breakfast she told me t0 make sure I sat in a seat where she could see me. She was overjoyed to know that her dad, aunts, and grandma would be there to watch her sing. I had tears in my eyes when she walked down the aisle dressed as an angel. She felt comfortable performing and kept giving us big smiles. I am so proud of her and admire how outgoing she can be. She still can light up a room with her smile.
Here is a little video of the performance, unfortunately this is all we videoed because our video camera ran out of batteries!!! I wonder if this is what the heavenly choirs sound like?

Breakfast with Santa


This weekend we had breakfast with Santa at our church. Abigail was so excited all week. She couldn't wait to talk to Santa and receive a candy cane. They enjoyed making ornaments and listening to the Christmas story. Abigail was a little disappointed because she couldn't find Santa's sleigh or Rudolph.

Arrggghhh

We had a busy day today. First we went to a fire fighter chili cook off in Coweta where we got to see horses and Santa again...unfortunately our camera ran out of batteries. The girls once again were so excited to see Santa and receive another candy cane. Then it was off to our neighbor Landon's birthday party. It was a pirate themed party and Abigail was so excited to go. She has talked about it for a long time now. Thanks Landon for the fun adventures!

Santa

Last night we went to Bass Pro and as we were pulling in the parking lot Abigail asked if we could see Santa. At first this surprised me because I didn't think she would want to sit on Santa's lap, but then she said "I want a candy cane"... then it began to make more sense. Abigail has such a good memory. She remembered that Santa was at Bass Pro last year and that he gave her a candy cane. Sometimes her memory scares me. We didn't think Sarah would go near Santa let alone sit in his lap, but both girls sat in his lap and Abigail even told Santa she wanted slippers.

Daddy needs to change more diapers

Here is a story to make you laugh. Abigail was playing with a baby doll who was wearing a diaper. She told me "ewe this baby needs a diaper change Mommy will you change her diaper?" "I said that is your baby you need to change her diaper." She then proceeded to tell me that she was the daddy and I was the mommy and daddy's don't change diapers. Life from a three year old's perspective.

Banana Bread


Abigail loves making banana bread...so we made some tonight. She held up the mixer for the whole ten minutes, and while she did that she said "I am so happy, I love making banana bread with you". Needless to say that melted my heart. I am sure we will be making many more loaves of bread now that winter is upon us.
Sarah enjoying her sucker.
