Merry Chistmas...again!

We celebrated our 3rd and final Christmas celbration at Pat & Tom's house! It was a blast, as usual to celebrate with all the Anawski's!!! Abby had so much fun playing with all her cousins. And was super excited to get her Christmas present - a little princess bike with training wheels! She will love it this summer! All the adults had fun playing the game catch-phrase also (Go team 2!!!!)

Happy Birthday baby Jesus!



We really wanted to have something to help a Abby understand what the holiday season and Christmas was really about! So (copying an idea of another friend) we decided to bake baby Jesus a Birthday cake! Abby had a blast, and she really understood that it was baby Jesus birthday and that was why we where celebrating Christmas!

Christmas Morning!

I think kids must have some internal alarm clock that knows it's Christmas! Abby decided to wake us up super early on Christmas morning!!! It wasn't long before we where ripping open presents. It was so much fun to watch her "ohhhh and ahhhhh" over everything. After presents we had a Christmas breakfast together, and spent the morning in our PJ's just the three of us!!!

We are super excited about the up-coming arrival of Abby's baby sister, but it was also nice to have this Christmas with Abby alone, really getting to enjoy these last moments before everything changes!

Christmas Eve with Robin and Family

We spent Christmas Eve with Robin and her family enjoying a yummy Ham dinner. It is one of my favorite family functions at Christmas time, as we all just have such a fun relaxed time.

Christmas Eve Mass

Christmas Eve we celebrated Jesus Birthday at Christmas Eve service at Christ the King church with Grams and Gramps Anawski. This is a special tradition we enjoy as Todd went to this church as a kid, and always went to Christmas Eve service here. Abby looked so cute all dressed up in her Christmas dress!

silly, silly girl!

Abby seems to think her training underwear are ment for her head and not her bottom! I think she gets this side of her personality from her Daddy!

Christmas - Part 1

The first Christmas celebration we celebrated was with my side of the family. Mom, Dave and the kids came up and where so nice as to bring the meal to us so that I didn't have to cook!!!

We all had lots of fun opening presents, as you can tell - Todd was even super excited about his socks, and the special big smile from Abby was when she opened her personalized Barney CD (she was way more thrilled than Mommy and Daddy who have now had to listen to it over and over and over again!)

Christmas Party!

The Mom's club Christmas Party was so much fun! Abby had a blast making her wreath, and running around with the other kids! I (of course) enjoyed all the yummy food!!!!

The party was at the Westward Ho country club, and everything was so beautiful!


Abby actually got close to Santa when he visited the party. She wouldn't sit on his lap, but she accepted a candy cane from him, gave him a high five and told him she wanted baby dolls for Christmas!

Kindermusik Graduation

Abby just finished a semester of Kindermusik. She has been in a couple Kindermusik sessions starting when she was about 6 months. She has loved every minute of it! She loves the singing, dancing and interacting with friends. She has always been in classes with the same teacher also - Mrs. Becky - Mrs. Becky has been an amazing teacher!

We are not sure when we will be able to do Kindermusik again with the new little one on the way, but we will for sure try! Check out the website http://kindermusikofsiouxfalls.kindermusik.net/ - It's lots of fun and Abby and I totally recommend it!
