The Beach

Today it rained all day!  So Abbie decided that her and her dad should go to the beach and wear their beach hats!  She is a girl after my own heart!

The nativity set

You  may be asking where are all of the people in the nativity set?
Well . . .

The people of the nativity set are now a train!  Abbie is obsessed with trains and turns everything into a train.  Now if you look very closely you may notice there is 1 important piece missing from the nativity set. 

Yes, baby Jesus is MIA!!  He was last seen 2 weeks ago in the car.  Now he can not be found anywhere.  The prize for finding baby Jesus is a hug and kiss from a very happy 2 year old.  Currently, she walks around the house yelling "Baby Jesus, Baby Jesus Where are you" .  So far baby Jesus has not answered back! 

Of course, we could have lost the second sheep or second angel.  But no, we had to lose the most important piece of the set.  Isn't that how life goes!!!!

Christmas Tree

We finally got our Christmas tree and decorated it last night. 
Abbie was so excited about the tree. 
She said to me "We have a Christmas tree, now Santa can come" 
I guess, How do you explain you still have to wait 2 weeks.
Abbie loved putting the candy canes on the tree.
We have a nice little row of 6 candy canes at the bottom of the tree. 

This year we set up our tree in the new office. 
We have never had a place to hang our stockings so I always end of laying them under the tree.
This year there was a window right next to the tree so I could hang the stockings. 
I was so excited to have someplace to hang the stockings!
It's the little things that excite me!

Visit with Santa

Last night we took Abbie to see Santa.  We went with our friends, so Abbie watched all 3 of their kids sit on Santa's lap and tell him what they wanted from Santa.  Then it was Abbie's turn.  Abbie was still not so sure of Santa.  So Steve sat with Abbie next to Santa.  Santa talked to Abbie while Abbie sucked her thumb.  We did get a good picture and she did not cry so all in all a good Santa visit!

A Blah Day!

Abbie had been stuck at home with her mom for 3 days with Strep Throat. 
I knew I was getting tired of being stuck in the house.  I was not sure how Abbie was feeling.
Before lunch she went into her room and came out wearing her flower beach hat.
She said to me, "OK mom I am ready to go to the beach"

I guess I was not the only one tired of Winter and being stuck inside the house!

Christmas lights in Ocean City

We went with our friends to see the Christmas light display in Ocean City.
The kids had a blast hanging out together and looking at all of the lights.
Abbie was so excited to see the Christmas trees.
I think she will be really excited to Christmas this year!
