This weekend we spent close to home. It was another beautiful and warm one, daddy even took time to clean mommy's car! We spent some time outside. The girls love playing outside. We set out a giant quilt and just spent the afternoon together. It was very fun! Super Bowl Sunday we let Abigail stay up for the half time show, then sent her off to bed. She was rooting for the 'orange' team...just like mommy and daddy!
This past Friday, Allison was sent home sick with a tummy ache. Unfortunately, mommy also caught it! The good news is that neither Daddy nor Abby caught the bug. The bad news was that it was the first warm and sunny weekend of the year and the kids were desperate to get out of the house. Thankfully, mommy started feeling better by Saturday afternoon so we all packed up and headed to the park. It was Allison's first time on a swing and she was not a fan! We took her out and let her watch Abigail swing and run all over the playground.
This past week daddy was on his own with the girls because mommy had some meetings out of town. Mommy missed her family, but from the looks of it, they had a good time! They are sweet girls with a sweet daddy. Daddy, Papa and the girls headed down to the lake house together on Thursday night because daddy had some business in Dallas too. Then the Cain kids came to town Friday evening. As usual, the kids all had a great time playing. Abigail particularly enjoyed her superhero mask and cape. She took some time to be a "Superhero Bad Guy" complete with evil laugh! It was hilarious when she stunned you with 'ice' from her hands and tried to take your phone....mommy loved it! By Saturday, they were pretty docile before bedtime, Chia couldn't even coax real smiles from any of the older ones.
We celebrated a belated Christmas with the Cluck family this weekend at Terri and Alan's house in Rogers. Abigial usually has a great time seeing her cousins and this year was no exception. The older cousins loved meeting Allison and spent a lot of time entertaining her so mommy could take a break. The food as usual was great and seeing everyone is always a treat.
2016 is here!! Another wonderful year in the books and it's a time for us to reflect on what a wonderful year 2015 was for our family. We welcomed our newest edition, Allison, and watched as Abigail continues to grow into a loving and sweet young lady. We could not have asked for a better big sister for Allison. 2015 was a busy year for us, especially towards the end. We are looking forward to slowing down for the new year and spending more time close to home...at least for a little while! We spent New Year's Eve at home with the kids and Daddy cooked delicious food for dinner. The girls watched a little TV and played most of New Year's Day. We also spent part of the day putting all our Christmas decorations away. Abigail was such a big help. We are looking forward to 2016!
