Holiday Season 2010 ~ Not a worry in the world for Abigail!

I found Abigail relaxing with her baby by the Christmas tree today and realized how thankful I am that 1. she's so relaxed, happy and content 2. for having the time to take pictures like this and then post them to the blog 3. that we're all four together this Christmas...also thinking of and very thankful for my friends in the desert over these holidays...Toro, SB, Col. A, Col. S and others...all people who would love to be at home relaxing and doing things like this with their families. They are making huge sacrifices and are the heroes who make it possible for people to celebrate the season without a worry in the world. It's amazing what a kid can make you realize. Merry Christmas...I'm counting my blessings today.

Baby's first Christmas ~ Olivia visits Santa!

Abigail visits Santa at Bass Pro Shop

Santa Dress Up Time

Gingerbread House






Making a gingerbread house with a two year old equates to serious mess and sugar overload (okay and cute pictures). It was a lot of fun for Abigail (okay and me too).

Baby's FIRST Christmas ~ Sweet little Olivia


...There is nothing better in the world than having a sweet baby during Christmas. Olivia's first Christmas has been a special time for all of us.

Breakfast with Santa!






Abigail told Santa she wanted a cat for Christmas and that she likes candy canes. Olivia and Santa just held hands for a second. She didn't even cry. Abigail loved having candy canes and donuts for breakfast and getting to see Santa's sweet "ride" in front of the clubhouse. After breakfast Abigail and some of her little friends did sprints out at the basketball courts. She had a great nap after all the fun.
