Abby got a package in the mail today from her "secret Santa" online.. I've kept in touch w/ a group of girls for a few years now, who I made friends w/ before I became pregnant w/ Abby. Every year we swap names and send a small gift. Here is Abby opening her gifts.

This is the black squirrel who lives in our backyard somewhere. We see him almost everyday. I love to see him!

This is the kids last night "sleeping together"... which lasted a whole 15 min.. until Abby bit Luke and Luke decided he didn't want her in his bed anymore! This morning at the table he was telling her how she wouldn't be invited to his bed anymore if she bit him again. Abby will not sleep w/ anyone.. she's so wiggly she just keeps rolling over you and refuses to settle down.

For anyone who goes to our church.. I'm excited to share that Rich has a part singing in the concert this Sunday!!

Abby had her friend Sarah over this morning while Sarah's mom volunteered at preschool. The girls had a great time together dressing up as princesses and lining up Abby's horses.

Luke had a good day at school. He came home w/ a huge candy cane that he couldn't wait to eat!

We got a ton of Christmas cards in the mail today. I was so excited to get the mail b/c I'm hanging up all the cards on the wall this year.. it looks so pretty. I love seeing all the pictures of family and friends. We have our cards ready to go out we just have to get them all stamped! hopefully they will be out soon!
