The Browns: Christmas!!

What a wonderful white Christmas!

I am sitting here watching the snow fall while Abby plays with her new kitchen from Santa! She is having the best time!! She asked Daddy to put her highchair next to the kitchen so she can feed Goofy some of her cooking! She is so creative! Now she is going grocery shopping with her new buggy! I hope my walls survive this trip! LOL -- Now she says she's going to Target!!

We had a great Christmas despite the fact that Abby was sick with runny eyes and nose and a little fever. She felt horrible but still managed to open some presents. Today she's 50% better!! We enjoyed seeing Grandmom, Pop and Paul for a delicious Christmas lunch! Abby didn't have too much pep in her but was able to take a 3 hr nap which helped tremedously!! After Abby's siesta, we helped her open her gifts aka groceries and buggy and some other fun toys!! She found some energy to play some but the constant tissue on her rudolph nose was worrisome.

For dinner, we headed over to May May's and G'Daddy's for a super steak supper! Abby started feeling better which was a major relief to see her enjoy some of Christmas day! We missed Aunt Jill and Uncle Oscie but had lots of fun playing with Uncle Bobby, G and May May!! Abby provided us with some music while we opened our presents on her new guitar from Uncle Bobby (a ukulele which is just her size!) Then she snuggled up in her cute new sleeping bag from May May and G and played with her toys. The night ended with a chipper Abby who wanted to play with her kitchen before we even got home. Needless to say, we had a tough time getting her to go to bed, but we did and he slept for a solid 8 hours!!! That is a first in 3 days! Woohoo!

I think Abby has changed her tune about Santa - before Christmas, everytime I asked her if she wanted Santa to come visit and leave her some presents and toys she said, "NO" and wouldn't even wave to him at the mall from a distance. Now, when I ask her the same question, the answer is "YES!" She even claimed to see him as we were driving to May May and G's Christmas evening!

We are truly thankful for all of our friends and family and to be able to spend time with the grands, aunts and uncles! To the long distance great grand - MaMel, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends - we were thinking about ya'll and hope you had Merry Christmas too!
