1 year appointment

Hannah's one year doctor's appointment went well. She is in the 50% for her height and the 13% for her weight (which we are working on 'beefing' her up!). She is developmentally doing great and over all is happy and healthy!

She likes to spend her day doing anything that involves Mommy! She is a big Mommy's girl. She has recently learned what no means and uses the word a LOT (as of now, we still think it's cute!). She looks up to her big sister and likes to play with any toy that Abby is playing with.

Our little Hannah Banana is getting bigger every day and we love her so much!

Big sister!

Of course, big sister was there to have fun on the party day! Abby loves her sister so much and finds herself in trouble when she loves her 'too' much (trying to carry her around and over hug her!)

It's my party!

My little Hannah is 1!!!! We had a fun party celebrating with friends and family. Hannah loved every minute of it, she danced, she played with balloons and she LOVED her cake! I still can't believe she is one - she is my baby girl!

Happy New Year!

We had a last minute get together at our house with family for New Years! It was so much fun. Abby and Hannah had a blast playing with their cousins. We played games - the favorite of the night was the card game 'spoons' and danced and counted down at midnight. We all where having so much fun we even played some more games after midnight! What a fun night!

The last Christmas!

We celebrated Christmas with my side of the family last this year. It was fun to still have presents under the tree to open! Justin, Holly, Mom, Dave and the kids all came over for pizza and presents! I was super spoiled this year and I got a new iPod and a bluetooth for my phone! Todd got a new Columbia light jacket and some money (he was happy!!!)


Abby loved her new water baby

Hannah really got into opening presents - she was a pro

Abby's favorite gift - a bag of pennies from Grandpa Dave for her buffalo bank. She is saving all her pennies for dance class

No surprise here - Hannah's favorite part of the festivities was the candy canes!!!

Anawski Christmas

Christmas with the Anawski's was a lot of fun as always! I love that I married into such an amazing family that is so close. I love that the girls have their cousins to play with and they are best friends.

SNOW!!!

This Christmas was definitely a WHITE Christmas as we got snow, snow and more snow. Final total was over 19 inches! It cancelled all plans on Christmas day - so we stayed in our pajama's and spent most of the day drinking hot coco, eating popcorn and watching Christmas movies. Daddy spent a lot of the day snow blowing, and Abby and Daddy even got out for a little sledding.

Christmas Morning!

This year was so fun because Abby was old enough to understand more of what was happening. She woke up and was so excited to see if Santa had came and if he ate the cookies she left for him.
The favorite gift for Abby was the dollhouse 'Santa' left for the girls. Hannah's favorite was the boxes, wrapping paper and candy canes.

Christmas Eve part 2

After Mass we go to Robin's house to celebrate with their family. We always have lots of fun and is one of our favorite Christmas celebrations. We had to cut it short this year though as the weather started getting bad and we had to get to the other side of town.

The girls where both asleep within seconds of being in the car -
all wore out from having lots of fun with friends and family

Christmas Eve

I love family traditions. It's been a tradition of ours to go to Christmas Eve Mass at Todd's childhood church - Christ the King. We go with Grandma Pat and Grandpa Tom. Abby loves dressing up for this service and the candy canes they give away at the end!

Big girls!

Hannah was so happy to graduate to the 'island' to eat sitting on a booster. She loves it and makes less of a mess than she did in her highchair. Abby loves having her next to her also!

mini me?

Everyone says she looks like me...I agree!

More Christmas fun!

We had the Mom's club Christmas party today! The girls had a blast getting hyper on all kinds of candy and even seeing Santa. Hannah even sat with Santa for a minute (although I think it had to do with the candy canes he was handing out) Abby once again told Santa she wanted polly pockets and seemed really excited to see him. It was lots of craziness as usual with LOTS of kids...but most of all lots of fun!
