Playtime

Gabby has been fortunate to have had a lot of playtime lately with her friend Hudson. They are 3 months apart, but still have a lot of fun together! They are even getting good at sharing with one another!

Sledding!!!

Gabby wasn't so sure about sledding down a hill, but she sure did enjoy sledding around the yard!

Christmas & Chicago

We had a white Christmas! And what a wonderful Christmas it was! Santa was so good to Gabby and she is one very lucky girl. We woke up and had Christmas at our house, got ready and went over to my parents for Christmas, round 2!

After we spent Christmas day at home, we loaded the car and headed to Chicago. We left Christmas night and drove to Indy, spent the night, and made it the rest of the way the following day. It snowed from home to half

way through KY. Not fun. But we made it and we probably owe Elmo and Mickey a big thank you for entertaining Gabby!

We enjoyed spending a week in Chicago having Christmas round 3. We took Gabby sledding for the first time and Brian and I went to WI to try our hand at snowboarding. Brian is an avid skier. Me, not so much, so snowboarding wasn't a big change for me. We had a great time and were VERY sore the next day!

Like all trips, it was great to be there, but also wonderful to come home!! Happy New Year everyone!

Santa is my Friend?

Santa was visiting Chick-fil-a for breakfast last weekend, so our playgroup met there. This was Gabby's second time to be near Santa and neither time was very successful. Santa was wonderful; he said hello when we arrived, tried to play peek-a-boo with Gabby and then left her alone when she wasn't showing signs of interest (in reality she was choking Mommy with her death grip). Every once in a while, Santa would walk by and say hello to the kids. She would pout and fuss. Eventually I had to have her sit in his lap so I could get a picture. It is about as pitiful as they get, and Santa felt really guilty! Hopefully next year, we will have more luck!
