Excitement in the House!


Today was a busy day! Abi and Daddy started the day off by doing some last minute grocery shopping, while Mommy started to ice the gingerbread Christmas cookies. Abi came home just in time to help Mommy decorate the cookies with her own special touch...LOTS OF SPRINKLES! Abi then had a nap...despite her best efforts to try to stay awake.

We then went off to see Dina, Abi's favorite hairdresser, so Abi could be made to look like "cinderelly". Abi had everyone in the salon in stitches, and had everyone's attention. She got a new pair of Christmas earrings and a bracelet to match her Christmas dress and a "princess crown"...she is such a girlie girl!

The candle light service at our church was amazing and so beautiful! It was the best service we had been too in a really LONG time. It was nice to sit with our family and friends and focus our attention to the birth of our Lord. You get so busy with the commercialization of Christmas, that it is so nice and peaceful on Christmas Eve to reflect on Jesus.

We had a fabulous party afterwards with family and some friends. We ate, joked, laughed, shared our past memories and got to add some new ones.

Abi was SUPER HYPER and ALL over the place...I didn't think we were ever going to get her to sleep! She put out her special Christmas cookie for Santa and carrots for Rudolph and hung up her stocking. It's neat to see her so excited for Christmas. Tomorrow is going to be a hoot.

Well, to all of you out there, have a blessed Christmas. Take time out of the chaos to enjoy the family and friends that surround you and to remember those who aren't.

Merry Christmas!
