This Saturday morning we went to have breakfast with Santa. The girls love this because it's Santa and breakfast! This year was no exception....except Allison was not a fan of Santa for some reason. She did great when we visited Santa a few weeks ago, but this time around she refused to sit on Santa's lap! So dad & mom got in the picture too!
Thanksgiving this year was special. Pop was turning 80 on the day after Thanksgiving so we decided to spend Thanksgiving in Arkansas to celebrate Pop's 80th. Pop & Mumzie arrived in Dallas on Sunday so we picked them up since we were already in town. The girls had such a good time spending the week with Pop & Mumzie. Abigail was all about Mumzie and even got to have a special "girls day" with Mumzie on Wednesday. We hosted our first Thanksgiving this year, we had 22 people! It was our first round with a Turkey and dressing and it went better than we expected!
As most people know, we generally have all of our Christmas decorations up before Thanksgiving. This year it was especially important because we could not foresee any free time in December to get the decorations up. With that said we have finished our Christmas decorating and our elves, Abigail & Allison, were such a help! They looked so cute in the antler headbands too!
Abigail loves dressing up and she's really started enjoying fixing her own hair. Now...she's bringing daddy into the fray and has started "saloning" his hair. Daddy is such a good sport to let her be the best "salonist" as she says.
Abigail's school celebrated All Saints' Day with the kindergartners putting on a special program where each one of them dressed up as a Saint and said a line or two about the saint in front of the church congregation. Abigail was St. Bernadette who found the spring at what is now the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes. St. Bernadette is also the patron saint of poverty. Abigail did a great job!
