We've had a really busy past 4 days. It all started with meeting santa on Saturday. Abigail didn't have any trouble at all running towards him, but she definitely stopped short. And although I got her to get very close, she was not going to sit in his lap...so, I sat beside him and she sat in my lap next to him to get our picture. Mom came in and got to experience this fun event with us.
That afternoon we went to Sprinkles and we saw santa again with his sleigh and a pony. They also had some big beautifully decorated trees, so it was a perfect picture moment.
Saturday night our friends Brent and Tim came over. We headed to Carino's for dinner, but not before Abigail got to open her gift. She got a fun doll that can name different parts of her face and a stroller to push her in. She LOVED them both. They do tend to spoil her rotten!
Monday after we got home, there was a big package outside the door. It was from Auntie Dee and Amo Fons...a nice, Abigail size, basketball goal! She was so excited. I was going to try to wait and wrap it, but once she realize what was on the box, she was working so hard to get it out...so I gave in, and we got it out. She shoots...she scores!
Monday night we met The Burks at PF Changs in Grapevine. We were there for 2 hours and it was amazing how well behaved Abigail was. Sometimes she is and sometimes she's not, but she was definitely on her best behavior. I think it helped that another little girl was there with her...and I didn't make her sit in a highchair. Eddy had an interesting moment in the bathroom while there. He took Abigail to change her diaper. He didn't realize she was poopy...and I failed to tell him. So, he laid her down on the changing table and instead of just opening the diaper, he just slings it off...poop balls everywhere!!! OMG! Bless his heart. I felt so bad for not telling him, but she stunk so I thought it would figured it out on the way...he didn't. Once we got home, Abigail opened her gift from Aubrey. Nothing like Elmo videos to make the day! She had to watch one immediately...so I let her, but just long enough to get her pajamas on!
Then tonight the Theauxs came over for dinner and for the girls to exchange gifts. Katie, the girls, and I went to Frisco first to do some shopping. Then back to the house for chili and cookies. What was amazing to me was how quickly those two small girls got toys all over the house. They were so cute together...talking, laughing, sharing, and playing. It's so nice to spend a relaxing evening at home with friends.
Tomorrow I have lunch with my commercial group at work, then I'm joining the retail group for dinner at Red Lobster...needless to say staying within a decent number of calories might not be possible!
