Christmas in Ohio

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! We made the drive to Ohio on the 23rd and came back to NC on the 27th. It was a very quick trip - but totally worth it! We hadn't been home for the holidays in 3 or 4 years. Abigail had a great time with both sides of the family! She loves seeing her "ma-mas" and "pa-pa" as well as the "babies" and Dylan and Ian! She opened lots of presents (some that weren't even hers) she loved to rip off the wrapping paper all by herself! She is learning how to share, although it is not a lesson she enjoys all that well. :)

Silly

Abigail got all dressed up for the holiday party at daycare yesterday. Mommy tried to take a picture of her in her cute Christmas dress, these are the photos I managed to get of Miss. Personality! :)

Santa arrives at the Chase household

Santa came a bit early to visit Abigail! He knew we would be in Ohio on Christmas Day! Abby was so excited when she saw the "car" by the tree as she came downstairs at 6:45 this morning! She opened all her presents by herself for the first time! She loves her Barbie Jeep - but is afraid to press the gas pedal! She just likes to sit in it with Tigger riding "shotgun":)

Santa's cookies

We are going to be in Ohio this year for Santa's big day! Well, Mommy and Daddy talked to Santa and he agreed to bring Abigail some of her presents on Sunday the 20th since she has been so very good this year! Abby and Mommy made some cookies for Santa today and Abby sat and watched them bake. She had to do a taste test and be sure that the cookies were good enough for Santa as well. Three cookies later she was satisfied! :) She set the cookies on the counter with a mug of milk just for Santa before she went to bed.

Snow!!

We had our first snow of the season on Friday! We had a few inches on the ground and Abigail was very excited to go out and play in it. That is until she realized that snow is really cold :) We get snow so rarely in NC that we haven't bought her any snow boots - so she had to make do with her rain boots!

Santa visits daycare

Santa visited the daycare today and Daddy got to be there and take a picture. She doesn't look too happy, but at least she didn't cry this year! She got a piece of candy for being so good! She told Paul that she really liked chocolate! :)

Disney on Ice

Yesterday we all went to see Disney on Ice! Paul has been a bit under the weather but he was a champ and went anyway! Abigail had a great time! She laughed and danced and clapped! We had a pretty good view from the second level.

She was so exhausted after the show that she fell asleep the minute she was in her carseat!

Abby turns 2

Abby turned 2 on December 2nd! She did such a good job of opening her presents! She even blew out her birthday candle, although I think it shocked her when it went out! She got her very own camera and tried to take pictures of her cake. It was a very good time. My mom, and I had our toes done and Abby had her fingernails painted blue "boo" for the occasion!
