This was our first holiday in a LONG time that we spent alone! It was nice to have it be quiet, but I missed the company of family and the fun that the kids have when others are around too! For Christmas eve we had a wonderful meal at home, and then took the girls in the car down to the oceanfront where they do a car drive on the boardwalk so you can see the light display they put up! Its a fun 15 min drive filled with fun displays of dinosaurs, sea creatures and icons she knows!!
Xmas morning fire time!
Maddy gathering up her apple and orange from her stocking! She was easy to please this holiday!
Gift #1........its a.......fridge spelling magnet thingy!!!
Abby is really starting to talk about words and letters and what they start with, so this will be fun to work with. Of course the one letter she always knows is "A" for Abby. Anytime she sees an "A" in a word, she insists it says Abby!!
2nd Gift.......an Aquadoodle water floor drawing mat from Aunt Brenda, Uncle Craig & Sheila!
THANK YOU!!!
Abby doing her new favorite thing.....SINGING! She loves singing her favorite princess songs! Grandma Smith got her this fun music player. It lets us upload songs online and then she can play them and sing along!And she is doing it adorned by one of her new dress-up hats that I got the girls!
Maddy playing with her music player from Grandma Smith....THANK YOU!!!!
Aquadoodle fun! A little water can't do any damage.....until Maddy comes over and tips the "spill-proof cup" and makes a mess!
New cop on duty! And she eats a lot of crackers!!
Abby decorating her very own sugar cookies! I looked the other way and just let her do as she pleased. After dumping an entire container of sprinkles on one cookie, she figured out the shake technique pretty well!
