New Videos!

Abby loves to sing as much as she loves to dance. Okay, sort of. Here are two songs that we've learned at Sunday School. These songs have saved us on more than one occasion! At least twice she has been having a meltdown and we'll pull out "Twinkle Twinkle" and it brings her back down to a calm and sensible level!

Please enjoy:

Thanksgiving Weekend - Abby Style!

Thanksgiving weekend was one of fun and adventure for Abby!

On Wednesday we went to the turkey farm to pick up a fresh turkey, or two, and also took some time to explore.  We saw cows and cats of all ages and sizes.  Abby was fascinated by all of it!

On Thursday Rob's dad and step-mom made the drive up from Florida, so we got to spend some time with them before dinner. 
At dinner there was quite a houseful of people.  I think we counted 12 around the table, and four dogs.  Abby at lots of cranberries and stuffing, but was not interested in much else. 

On Friday we did a little shopping, and finished decorating the house for Christmas!  Since we'll be in Saint Louis for Christmas, we put up a fake tree.  It is already decorated and Abby loves it.  It has come at the right time as we are working on identifying colors and the lights are much more interesting than crayons!

On Saturday we raked the front and back yards - and Abby tried to help.  It was adorable and I wish I had gotten pictures, but I did not.  This year we are composting our leaves, so it was especially fun for her to throw handfuls of leaves over the fence!

What did you do for the big weekend?
