Sisters

Just wanted to share some cute moments with the dynamic duo actually sitting together!

Christmas Time

For Christmas this year we returned home to Texas. We spent time with Shawn's parents first and then with my parents. It was wonderful to be back with family. We believe that Abigail really enjoyed herself more this year. She was such a little doll at the Day family Christmas Eve get together. We tried to have her say thank you after each present she opened. She started saying some thank you's on her own, too. Some of the gifts she did not get to open until we returned to Florida because there were too many parts to take out of the box, like her new kitchen and her A to Z zoo. Hannah will probably understand a little more next year.

Giggle Box Turned Over

Maybe it's from the busy week that's made her looney or maybe it's just from being kin to me, but lately Abigail has really had her giggle box turned over. Here's a glimpse of the sweet laughter I've heard today. I was playing with her at the table with Poochie. I am placing Poochie on my shoulder and then pretending the Poochie has scared me or that I am surprised that she is there.

Birthday Party

Today, Abigail and I attended her first birthday party! It was Ethan's 2nd birthday. I believe Abigail had a great time. We played outside (yes it was about 80 in December). Abigail played on the slide and swing and finally got brave enough to try to jump on the trampolene. She really enjoyed her cupcake, too.

Little Helper

I thought this year it would be fun if Abigail helped me make the Christmas treats

for the church staff.

We decided on pretzel logs dipped in white and milk chocolate. Abigail did have a good time, although Mommy had a lot to clean afterwards!

Hannah's First Christmas Bear

Hannah received her first Christmas bear yesterday from a family in the church. They sent one to Abigail and Hannah. Hannah is really getting into things, especially making things go into her mouth this days! She makes some cute sounds in this video. Abigail came to the rescue towards the end of this video.

Little Singer

During the day now, you can frequently hear Abigail singing. Sometimes you can make out what song it might be, but other days, it might be just a few words that you can decifer. In this song, you can hear the word "Jesus". May His praises be on her lips and our lips all the days of our lives.

A Really Good Book

Hannah was really getting into her book about the farm, so much so she had to eat it! Hannah is getting bigger everyday as she can sit up a little with a good pillow behind her.

Play Date

On Tuesday, Ethan (friend from church) came over to play for a little bit. Abigail and Ethan have played together many times before, except at his house. Abigail had to learn to share her toys. It was so cute when the both of them sat side by side to watch Blue's Clues and enjoy their snack
