Ice Storm.

01/10/2011 Abby was so bundled up for the icestorm she couldn't move :)
 
Abby and Tabor ready for the ice!
 
Abby was trying to play in the ice but it's just not as much fun as the snow, it's a little hard.
 
So they decided to go for a spin in her barbie jeep. I was taking pictures from the window, its too cold out there.
 
School is cancelled so Tabor spent the night, they love to use this table and drawer as their desk and cut paper into a million pieces.
 
Madison came over the next day and they all hung out, coloring...

Christmas Day.

12/25/2010 Merry Christmas! Abby woke up and came and got in our bed and told us that Santa had come. So excited!!! She got a TV for her room and so much other fun stuff. It started snowing and was so beautiful, GranJan and Pops came by to see Abby and all her stuff and then took her to go see Madison and then Carlee. When they got back Jason's family were all here and breakfast was ready. We all ate and watched the snow fall, it was really beautiful and it was the fun snow that didn't make driving dangerous. Abby with her new TV Santa brought her!

12/24/2010 We had the Jason's family Christmas party at Christy's house. We got to see Savannah and Lanie! The kids swapped gifts and we had a great time. When we left Christy's we rode by the barn and Dusty was at the gate so we stopped to let Abby pet him. Next stop was at the Tanner's, Cherry read her annual poem, it was great as always. It is so good to have all of our family so close, and we were all blessed with another wonderful Christmas Eve. I love this family and have been part of it for 15 years now and have so many great memories of Christmas with them all. Over to my parents house to finish the day, before we head home to wait for Santa. Mom and Dad prepare a great dinner and put so much effort into every little detail. The girls big thing this year was a charm bracelet, each charm was individually wrapped and each girl had their boxes wrapped in the same wrapping paper and they were all hung on the tree like ornaments. They had to hunt down their boxes! Once they got all their boxes it was time to open them up, and it took a while. Each charm had special meaning. Some of Abby's were a soccer ball, tiara, horse, violin, teddy bear, and so many more there wer 17 in all. Gingerbread House! Matching PJ's Annual picture.

Happy Birthday Abby!

12/21/2010 Happy Birthday Abby!!! Today Abby turns 5!!! We woke up to find that our Elf BJ had decorated the living room for Abby's birthday, there were streamers everywhere, balloons and even presents!! While we were all at work Pops and Abby were hard at work making her birthday cake. She said she wanted a pink cake with white fluffy icing and lots of sprinkles. It turned out so pretty and tasted yummy! GranJan gave her 5 dollars, the next birthday figurine in her collection and Pops gave her another pearl to add to her necklace. BJ gave her a stuffed horse she HAD TO HAVE, and we gave her a game to add to our collection. We went by the church to pick up her cheerleading uniform and pom poms. The mess was still there when we got home.

Christmas at Aunt Lindas.

12/19/2011 We had Christmas at Aunt Linda's and tried our best to get pictures of GranJan,Pops and all the grandchildren. Bronson loves balls! Three little angels. They each played their violins and then all played together for Aunt Linda's family, and they did good, they are not shy at all about playing. They girls loved their gifts/Pops and Bronson/Lauren and her two little ones.

Christmas Cards
