December is HALF gone! Christmas ..... here we come!

Well, as usual, it has been a VERY busy December! You have no idea how busy a month ..... or shall I say, about 10 days can be until you have 4 birthdays in a row! URGH December is always hard for us but full of LOTS of blessing!

We start out the month with the end of a WONDERFUL visit with my best and dearest friend, Michelle! Although we didn't get many pictures together, I will always treasure her visit with her family here! She is such a blessing to us and I love her very much!

Leah found a new but old favorite toy! Ms. Jackie from Westminster in Oklahoma had given us this cool kitchen! Gabi enjoyed many months of playing with it. So when we got into our new house and the playroom was finished, I put it in there for them to play with again. Now, Leah LOVES it! She plays with it every time she is downstairs. She even will put other toys in the microware part! It is really cute! She is already such a Mommy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On December 6th, Gabi's actual real birthday, I hosted a Customer Appreciation Holiday Pampered Chef show at our house! Frank had gone to Virginia Beach for training and I thought doing something alittle special on her birthday would be something she might remember. I worked very hard on a Wow! Wow! Wubbzy (a cartoon character that she LOVES) cake. After my show was over, I had everyone sing her Happy Birthday! She was so excited and surprised! My mom also sent her this Dora card that played music and sang Happy Birthday. She LOVES this card, then and NOW too!

On December 8th, Frank's unit had a Christmas party for the families. Unfortunately, Frank was not here but we decided to go anyway. It was a potluck (which surprised me actual) but was good. They even had Santa Claus! Although the girls are DEATHLY afraid of him, they did go up there to get their presents: a candy cane and a penguin and bear. They both loved their stuffed animals. Needless to say, Jack didn't sit on Santa's lap!



I was so proud of Gabi coloring at the coloring table. She was even staying in the lines!

Leah with her bear that Santa gave her!

Buba and Gabi have ALWAYS had such a special relationship. Can't you tell by the heart-felt laugh that Gabi has with her pink colored mouth from her candy cane?

Once Frank came home, he was busy with her. One day, I caught them watching the little DVD player on the kitchen table. How cute it was to watch Leah so INVOLVED in the TV!!!!!!!!!
