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!

Natural Science Center Durham

Paul was busy with a paper for class today, so Abby and I headed to the Natural Science Center in Durham. Abby loves the butterfly house there. The first time we went, it was raining so we didn't get to check out the outdoor section. Today was sunny and beautiful!! We checked out the butterflies as well as the dinosaurs! Abby had to wave "hi" at every dinosaur she met. We also rode the train and met the animals. Abby walked all over, I may not even bother bringing the stroller next time. Such a big girl!

Another trip home to OH

Well, Paul is up to his eyeballs in school stuff, so when I had 7 whole days off Abby and I hit the road to visit family in OH again. Thank goodness she is a great kid who travels well. She watched Annie both ways and the second the movie was over she was screaming "Annie" again! I may never get the songs out of my head!! I can't wait until the child will wear headphones!! :)

Abby had a great time pushing her 10 month old cousins around and stealing all their toys! I keep telling her one day they are going to gang up on her and get revenge!

Abby had another sleepover with Dylan and Ian. I hear that her and Ian built a fort to sleep in!! Very cool!
