Abbie's 1st Christmas!


Getting the hang of standing/walking with the Lion's help, Abbie's favorite gift from Nana Rose and Papa Ray!

A special "baby" Christmas tree at Abbie's great aunt Kay's house and the perfect sized sleigh for Abbie to ride around the house in!

Abbie loved this little Santa that was "cutting" candy canes, great entertainment to keep her in 1 place for at least 2 minutes!

Reindeer fun with Nana Rose and Papa Ray Christmas Eve

Celebrating Christmas with Abbie's cousin's Maggie and Lily!


Christmas is SUCH a special time of year as we celebrate our Savior's birth and in addition to this celebration, we got to celebrate Abbie's 1st Christmas too! We celebrated with Mike's family Monday night, the week of Christmas, with a big delicious dinner and presents. We spent the holiday with my family in Alabama and Atlanta. We got to my aunt Kay's house late Wednesday night and had a blast with my big family Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. We headed to Atl with my parents Christmas day and had lunch with some close family friends and then Christmas once again with my parents at their house that afternoon! Abbie loved all the toys but was totally indifferent to the paper, bows, and boxes. I thought it was supposed to be the opposite? Leave it to our little one to break the mold! Abbie was sick the whole time we were out of town and I took her to the doctor yesterday morning asap to find out she has double ear infections!! Not fun! So we've been hanging in at home the past 2 days since it's in the 20's and 30's out, not ideal weather when double ear infections have come to visit! We had a wonderfully blessed Christmas with family!
