End of Year Posting.

Well, it's just about the end of the year so I have to clean out my pictures off the computer and hunt for new ones. I haven't blogged any funny pics in a while so I hope everyone enjoys these:

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Christmas Day!

Abigail, Sarah and I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and say thanks to family and friends for their gifts and generosity. Here are a few of the MANY pictures that we took today.

Abby in her new 'big girl' bed (although we're still weaning off the pacifers). She absolutely loves her bed.:


Abby in her new pj's on Christmas Eve:

The tree all set, waiting for Abigail to wake up:

A new puppy:

A John Deere drill:

My new radio/CD player which will be nice in my workshop:

Sarah with her new laptop:

I built Abby a little workbench to play with when she's out in the workshop with me:

Thanks everyone for the gifts, Abby loves them. It took us 1 1/2 hrs to get through all of the presents because she had to stop and play with each one. We had to coax and bribe her to keep opening gifts. She added two puppies, a baby horse, a baby Elmo, a shopping cart with fake food, keys, and a toy cell phone to her toy collection.

Cute Pictures

Here are some cute pictures of Abigail.

Here she is in her Christmas dress, ready for church (I don't know how we got her to stand still this time):



Here we are looking for the water filter under the frig:

Here she is taking a nap when she wasn't suppose to (can you guess which parent was watching her? Oooppss.):

Sunday Pictures

Last week we decided to take some pictures of Abigail in front of the Christmas tree before church. How hard could it be? I mean, all we wanted was ONE nice photo that we could blog and show how adorable our child is. Hmmmmm. Well here are the pictures that we took that Sunday morning:

Look at the camera Abby!


A two year old with attitude?



Come stand over by the Christmas tree!

Fine, we'll take your picture on the couch.

Well, as you can see we took several pictures but none that we would/could send in our Christmas cards. Oh yeah, what could have been a two minute project turned into a 20 minute ordeal and we were nearly late to church. Crazy kid, gotta love them.

Thanksgiving Part III

I'm not going to be able to blog all 285 pictures that were taken at Thanksgiving so this will probably be the last part. Here's Abby in her tu-tu:


This was the kitchen that Aunt Amanda and Uncle Jeff bought for Abigail that was set up for all of the kids to enjoy while there:

We told her to 'smile' for the camera (notice the chocolate on her face):

Cousin Cameron and Abby:

Thanksgiving Part II

While we were in PA Sarah had the great idea that she wanted to take Abigail to the Macy Day Parade in NY. The girls woke up at 4:15am and headed for the Big Apple. They ended up at Time Square a few rows of people from the street. Abby loved seeing the balloons, especially the ones that she recognized like the Sesame Street characters.

The poor girl fell asleep at the end of the parade. Waking up early and the whole excitement of seeing new things tuckered her out.
