We made the mistake of letting Abby open up her Snow White baby doll first. She thought every gift after that would also be Snow White. It took us over an hour to finish opening her like 7 presents. It was great. She would have to stop and play with each gift before she would open the next one.
We had Christmas at our house and then my parents came over to open gifts and then we went to Mike's parent's house to celebrate with his sister who was in town. It was a busy day, but Abby had a blast. She figured out that Santa came and he brings toys. Just yesterday, she was saying Santa coming bringing presents. It broke my heart to tell her, no he already came. you have to wait until next year.
For New Year's Eve, we took Abby up to the cabin to play in the snow. She actually liked it this year. She didn't like how her hands got cold, but she had fun walking around and kicking the snow. Her gloves didn't say on very long. After about 10 minutes she said, "Mommy, me carry you?" I said yes, Abby, I'll carry you. She said OK and reached her little arms up to me. It was too cute.
Once inside she wanted to share 'hot chalkwate' with her Daddy. She picked up the cup and took it to her daddy.
The following day, we went to Aunt Bev's for dinner. Mike played cards with the boys and Grandma Irene. You could hear those two laughing and egging each other on all evening. Abby had lots of fun playing there too. She playing with the rocks by putting them in the stack of the train by the tree. She rode her little fire truck car. She played with her dolly. The cutest was when she decided to get in the pot. Grandma called her Abby Stew! I just love that smile!
