It's Christmas Eve and we're about to leave for supper at Polk and Pop's house, along with a small gift exchange. After that, we'll go to our respective Christmas Eve services and come home to a "long winter's nap."
In the past few weeks we've decorated a gingerbread house, which the girls basically did on their own this year! Read Twas The Night Before Christmas many, many times...had a preschool and a church Christmas program, done some shopping.
Baked some cookies, hoped for snow (which hasn't come), enjoyed the sunshine that's here in it's place and...
Had a visit with Santa Claus at our extended family Christmas with the descendents of Grandma Aggie and her two brothers.
The girls had a wonderful time holding and admiring their newest cousin, Clare, who was born on September 30th.
Also in the time since my last post, Abigail has missed her first, second and a few more days of school. She's had three ear infections and a case of pneumonia. The good news is, she seems to finally be coming around, thanks to the 4th antibiotic. Just in time for Hannah to appear to be getting a touch of the same crud.
On the Sunday before Thanksgiving, we had supper with Polk and Pops with all of the Thanksgiving traditional foods from our childhood.
Shortly before that, Hannah got a haircut again. Which you can see more clearly in this picture:
Abigail has had a loose tooth from two months ago until now. It's looser than it used to be but naturally, our cautious girl isn't hurrying the process any.
And finally, we had a Christmas visit from Aunt Kristi and Uncle Keith! And, Aunt Kristi was here right around the beginning of November when playhouse play was still in full swing.
And harvest sunsets were the norm. Sure miss those!
In this growing family, both in size and number, time is flying!! Merry Christmas Eve to all, it's time for some soup!
