Breakfast with Santa

This morning we took Abs to have breakfast with Santa. Since her last visit with Santa, Abby has developed a sense of stranger danger, so we were prepared that she would not like him very much. However, she disliked him much, much more than we anticipated. This is the only shot we got of her near him as she refused to climb out of mommy's arms to sit on his lap. Instead, daddy, mommy and Abby stood next to Santa for the professional photo. We haven't gotten it in, but we're pretty sure she was crying in every shot!

After the trauma of seeing Santa, we had breakfast and then moved on to craft making. The craft making was a much bigger hit in Abby's book. We made a gingerbread and christmas tree ornament. Abby love, love, loved her gingerbread ornament and held on to it the rest of the morning. It was a great morning and maybe next year Abby will be a little more excited about seeing Santa!
Much love,

Woo Pig Sooie!!

 Last night we went to our first Razorback basketball game as a family. We figured that Abby would probably enjoy a basketball game more than a football game simply because of the speed of the game and how much closer we would be to the action. Well, we were right. She loved it! She absolutely loved the band and calling the Hogs. She clapped and giggled through most of the game. Even though the Hogs didn't pull off a win, we still had a great time.

Thanksgiving 2012

We spent Thanksgiving this year with Pop & Mumzie in Florida. We arrived on Tuesday afternoon and stayed through Saturday. We had a great, great time and had such a hard time choosing the pictures for the blog. On Thanksgiving day, Jason, Eleni and their girls came over. Eleni made "Pop's" noodles and they were fantastic. The noodles were definitely Abby's favorite part of the meal and she kept going back for seconds. Abby also had a big time with her cousins, Brittany, Melanie & Halle. She thought she was such a big girl laying on the floor with the girls. On the other days during our trip, we took Abs to visit the aquarium again and to the beach. This time around she loved the beach; she still didn't want to get sand on her feet, but she loved walking through the waves and chasing & feeding the sea gulls. Mommy & Daddy also had a bunch of fun spending time with Pop & Mumzie. All in all, it was a great Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for and enjoyed spending the day with people we rarely get to see.

Much love,

Moises & Jennifer

Celebration Night

This Saturday, we celebrated our 2 year anniversary. Grandma and Grandpa watched Abs overnight for us so we got an evening out on the town in Fort Worth. We went to one of our favorite restaurants, Lonesome Dove, and it was awesome. We had such a good time celebrating our 2 years as husband and wife. We continually remark at how much that we not only love each other, but like each other. While 2 years is only a blink to some, we are proud to celebrate this anniversary and look forward to many more years together.

Gig 'Em Aggies!

Unless you've been living under a rock or you really don't pay any attention to college football, the Texas A&M Aggies upset Alabama this weekend. Moises was so excited and nervous about the game. His team had been doing well this season and had only lost two games to very good football teams. So the Ledezma household was so excited when A&M pulled off the upset. Even Abby was excited to watch the game with daddy so mommy captured a picture of them as they were intently watching. The rest of the time Abby spent watching Shrek on mommy's iPad, notice the A&M tank top she's wearing!  Mommy's team, the Razorbacks, still aren't doing so well this season so mommy has been happily cheering on the Ags!

Veteran's Day Parade

Today we thought it would be great to go to the annual Veteran's Day parade at Fort Chaffee. As soon as we arrived a soldier gave Abby a small flag to wave during the parade. She didn't let it go the whole time and would occasionally wave it and clap as the floats passed us by. It was a great day to celebrate all the veterans who have fought for our country. Their sacrifices are what makes this the best country to live in and we enjoyed sharing the special moment with Abs. Mommy got a little emotional as the city welcomed home all the members of the 188th.

Much love,

Happy Halloween!

Abby's second Halloween has come and gone! It was her first time trick or treating like a big kid. We thought it would be a good idea to let her ride in a wagon while we went to the neighborhood houses. She seemed a bit overwhelmed with all the people, costumes and decorations. However, as usual she was super excited about the Hershey bar she got to eat at the end of her excursion!
