Abrey's 1st attempt at potty training.....she would get up every 15 seconds and look to see if there was poop in the toilet and then say.....no no and sit back down...it was so funny.

December Pictures with Santa

Abrey did not Santa....so we left the room and he hide behind the set and when we came back in Abrey wasn't sure where he had gone. But she relax some and took some more pictures and Santa snuck out from behind the set and we got some good pictures without Abrey knowing Santa was behind her...lol.

Happy Thanksgiving

Funny story for Thanksgiving.....Abrey sees us preparing the turkey to put in the roaster and she is saying bird....bird.....and so my mom and I say yes we are gonna cook it and then we get to eat it. Well she gets a sad face and sad voice and says.....oh no no no turkey bird......so then we tell her that we won't eat it and that he is just gonna get a bath....lol. Then she was happy and was saying turkey bath....turkey bath.....it was so funny because she was really anguished about the turkey getting cooked and eaten.....lol. Anyway, this was the first Thanksgiving that I can remember that I have gotten stay put in one house on Thanksgiving and it was really special for me and an added plus it was in our home. I have so much to be thankful for.....family, friends, loving and being loved and best of all God in our lives. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and recognized all their blessings.....even if they can't see them at the moment....doesn't mean they aren't happening. Here are some pictures...mostly of food....lol....because I forgot to take pictures when we sat to eat but in attendance was myself, Adam, Abrey, my mom, Don, Tina and Jeremy. Also take note of my cornicopa that I made......lol....and I made a yummy cherry pie that was the best pie this year if I do say so myself.......I also made a pecan and pumpkin pie and Tina brought a Chocolate pie that was yummy too. I made a cheese ball from Aunt Pauline's reciepe which was originally Karen's I think and it's so good and of course we had turkey, Grandma Jackie's stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, corn and croissants. It was all yummy and delicious and thanks to mom and Tina for helping make it great!

My three pies cherry, pecan and pumpkin
The table which we had to move to the living because our house is so small...lol
All the pies with the chocolate pie and cheese ball

All our yummy food
And last, the cherry pie......no run is the sign of a great pie!

Abrey's first pony tail...yes I said ponytail.

I can finally gather up enough of Abrey's hair to put in a full fledged ponytail, not a tree. It makes her look more like a little girl than ever. However, she still has one whole side that is still bald and when in the ponytail you can really see it....but hey...it's progress. Next feat, pig tails...lol




Abrey and Grandpa Don watching The Wizard of Oz....Abrey's new favorite movie

Happy Halloween!

Abrey was the white cat from Aristocats for Halloween. At first when I put the costume on she did not like it and cried.... Then we went to Margaret and Phil's house and put the costume on right before we went to the door and she just marched up to the door like she knew what she was doing and had the best time. She was just going house to house and loved the kit kats....they are her favorite candy now....haha. Even after she ate two of them she could barely keep her eyes open for the ride home. She went right to bed and was exhausted. It was the best Halloween yet and she was so cute in her costume. So here are some pictures.

Abrey crying her eyes out to take the costume off
But then we showed her herself in the mirror and she cheered up real fast...lol
Getting out of the car to go to Margarets

Abrey knocking on the door to trick or treat
On her way to another house....so cute!
Getting more candy...she had it down by this point...then she would tell everyone....BYE!!!!
She wanted more candy and I wouldn't give it to her....so she layed her head in her bag with all the candy....lol
