Happy 3rd Birthday Abby!

Abby celebrated her 3rd birthday with friends and family last Saturday.
She went with a Mickey Mouse theme
even though Anne work very hard to persuade Abby that she really wanted
a Scooby Doo party.

Thanks Granny for my beautiful Barbie doll!

Plasma Car! Thanks Gran!
I've been having fun riding it too (it has a 200lb weight limit)!
I don't weigh 200lbs.

My Little Pony

Anne was invited to Josephine's birthday last Sunday.
There were My Little Ponies everywhere.
Mindi did a great job and even made the girls their own pony costumes.


There was lots of pony food: Oats (granola), carrot sticks, and apples with dip.

Mindi even made Star Wars style pony costumes for the boys.
They were impressed but chose not to wear them at the party.

Abby's Winterfest 2012

Abby had fun at her very first Winterfest. The decorations were very cute this year. Gra'ma and I came early and met Abby in her classroom and then walked to the gym for all the fun. When we came in Abby immediately became very shy, but by the end of all the activities she was running and playing. As we were enjoying all these cold weather activities it g 74 degrees outside.

Abby dressed the snowman.

Things Around Here

We have been taking things easy this first week of the New Year.

Abby helping with the dishes.

Anne listening to her "new" cassette tapes, that's right I typed cassette tapes. Gran brought Daddy's (Scott) old cassette tapes and books for the girls to enjoy. It worked out great because I had just bought a cassette player on clearance at Target so the girls could listen to my old Adventures in Odyssey tapes. It is great because the cassette player is easy to work so the girls are able to play with it on their own and I don't have to worry about the tapes getting scratched!

Panera Bread

Last week my mom and I ate lunch with some of our FAVORITE people, Rachel and Cindy (Ms. Watson) at Panera Bread.

I think Rachel is the most photogenic person I know!

Rachel works in Washington D.C for National Geographic as an associate producer so I don't get to see her as often as I like. I keep suggesting different options for documentaries she could do here in Tyler, but she hasn't seemed to keen on any of my ideas.

(If you look closely you can see Abby's pig tail in this pic)

Anyways, since I don't get to see her very much I had prayed that the Lord would provide a pleasant time to visit and He did. The girls were well behaved, entertained themselves, and Anne even passed out on one of the chairs.
I can't believe she can sleep like that!
