A Bunch of Random . . .

We've been busy the last couple of weeks! Instead of posting on the blog, my time at the computer has been spent searching for Christmas presents and ordering photo cards. My other "free time" has been spent on embroidery and decorating for Christmas. With all these extra projects going on . . . you do NOT want to see our house. Every room looks like a tornado has gone thru it. I don't even know where to start on the clean up so I'm not . . . I'd rather be in denial and post some pics on the blog : )

We spent time over the last couple of weeks with friends at the park and at the indoor play area at the mall. We met our friends Kyle and Sydnee at the park:
And met our friends Julia and Liliana at the mall. Abigail thought she was such a big girl sitting in one of the play cars. She sat there the whole time the girls played. The couple of times I got her out she fussed at me:
As I have said before, Emily's imagination amazes me. She is constantly busy "pretending" something. Last week I gave her some old thread and fabric and she spent the afternoon making balls by rolling up the fabric and wrapping the thread around it. Then it turned into dog food to give all the dogs that lived in her princess house:
She also discovered the value of the magic eraser last week when she decided to write on her wall with her colored pencils:
On Thanksgiving Day we spent the day together just the 4 of us. We had such a great day! We enjoyed eating fun food and then went to a park for the afternoon. That evening we put the kids to bed and then grilled out steaks! Yum!

On Friday, Emily and I decorated our tree. Emily had the BEST time decorating. So far she has enjoyed moving the ornaments around each day:
On Saturday we visited Joe's mom in Auburn and took Emily to Toomer's Corner to see the trees covered in toilet paper. Emily had a blast running around:
Abigail took a marathon nap that afternoon. . . this is the cutest picture ever!

Now that's some good sleep right there!
