Travelling to Cool, and onto Fairfield for xmas.....

After 3 days in Redding, we travelled a few hours to my parents house in Cool, CA! (Sadly though, I made a BIG camera boo boo and accidentally deleted the photos we took there....So sorry!!). But we did spend 3 great days in Cool and my parents/sister babysat one night so Mike and I could have our first dinner/movie night together since he's been back, so that was fantastic!! We got our Chevy's restaurant fix since they don't have any around us down our way!

Then we left for Mike's mom's house in Fairfield to spend a few days with the rest of his family for Christmas! Abby's favorite part of the trip was playing with Grandma Smith's talking/dancing snowmen everyday!!!! She couldn't get enough of those singing plush toys! By the last day she actually figured out how to turn them on repeatedly all by herself.

Christmas morning at the Grandma Smith's. The whole gang (9 adults & 8 kids) were there to open gifts and eat ourselves crazy with the wonderful goodies!!

Abby has new fake food to cook up at home! She loved her cousin's fake kitchen they had with all the bells and whistles, so I thought it would be a good start for her to play with the food first! She loves stirring the pots with her spatula and stacking everything!

I found Abby on the couch one day intentionally trying to wrap Grandma Smith's snowman in the blanket, as if she was putting him to bed....Too cute!

Abby had her first ride in an electronic store toy on our trip! We had to make a quick stop at BabiesRUs, and she got to ride both toys!! At first it was enjoyable, but then Dumbo got a little wobbly and freaked her out a bit! Fun nonetheless & cheaper than Disneyland!! Awwww.....This is what happens when you get no sleep on vacation (she must be more aware of her surroundings now, because she was not her normal good-sleeping self this trip!). We had to buy this cute little headrest for her for the trip home because her floppy head kept preventing her from sleeping long distances in the car! Success!!!! The car ride home was SOOO much more enjoyable, and she looked so cute and comfy in her new neck pillow!
