From November!  Time has definitely gotten away from me.  This time of year is so crazy!

The last thing I left off with from November was the Disney Princesses on Ice.  The next day we took Abby to the Children’s Festival.  We had a really great time, and we wore her out.  It’s not often she falls asleep in the car anymore, but it did happen on the way home! 

So basically the festival is a whole bunch of tents set up with different vendors trying to promote whatever it is they have or just a chance to show off their company that’s in the area.  You have everything from getting her nails done to cutting a board in half with her fist at a karate booth.

Getting tired during the afternoon….

       

Starting her love of soccer…We are now officially into SoccerTots and we learned about it from this place!  SO fun!

Abby wanted to go take her picture with this snowman all by herself.  So sweet!

Josh and my first time at Ren Fest.  It’s quite the interesting place.  I really wasn’t sure what to expect, and we happened to go on a freezing cold day, so that alone didn’t thrill me (although I did get some super good hot chocolate!).  We had a good time, but for us, it might just be a one time thing :)

Some random dressed up folks…

The whip show

This next shot…he’s hot right? :)

 

Abby’s first time starting soccer.  This isn’t your ordinary soccer.  It’s called SoccerTots, and it’s more about running around and getting exercise.  There is no real soccer game playing going on.  She was very reserved for the first several sessions and wouldn’t do all the activities, and she would just sit down on the side by daddy.  She’s doing lots better with it now, and she loooves it!  I love hearing her stories when she comes home!

 

Thanksgiving was great…spent time with family and Josie did great for her first trip in the car going home.  Hooray :)

Pop and Abby

So these pictures just kinda  make me laugh because this picture is one of about 10 that look very similar.  Abby is obsessed with making my dad put the camera on the tripod, making it “blink blink” and have it snap the picture itself.  She always has my parents in pictures with her, and anybody else that is around at the time that will sit in with them!

  I’m super LOVING her hair on this particular day, too.  It was curling sooo great!  I’m totally jealous of her hair.  I

 

 

My new fav family picture

The whole “blink blink” thing again

 

December pics up next!

I have never posted these pictures!!!  Shame on me.  I still have a few things I’d like to add, but the jist of everything is in there.  Watch out…it’s pink, pink! :)

Adorable night light – thanks so much for finding this mom!

Wreath on her door – my mother-in-law made these (Abby’s is below)  Thanks!

And what post is complete without a few pictures of the girls? :)

Josie is getting to be soooo much fun!  I have some awesome talking video clip, but it’s in some weird format from my camera.  Anyway, I’m trying to catch it again on our other camera.  It sounds so precious…I adore it!

Welp, time to go get Abby from school.  Can’t wait to hear her stories from the day.  She’s hilarious talking about her school day—so animated and informative!!  I love it!!!
