Abby sitting on the growth chart that Grandma Forrey made for her.  Thanks grandma, we already have it hanging in her room.

Abby taking time to pose for the camera with her tutu and stick lip!

pots and pans to use in her new kitchen.  Thanks G & G 4E!

Abs cooking up a storm in her PINK kitchen.

Abigail dancing in the tutu that I made her for Christmas.  I was glad that she loved.  I think it always makes a Mother feel glad to have her child love something that she made, instead of having it sit in the dress up box, never to be worn.

Abs after she did a superman dive toward Daddy's office chair.  This was taken right after it happened and had already started turning colors.

Abs at the beginning on the month getting ready to play in the snow.

Steve being CRAZY and taking a dive into the deep snow in our backyard.  He was pretending that he was in high school and still living in Alaska.

The music in ME!

Abigail LOVES listening and dancing to music, so much so that she steals my iPod all the time!  She is jammin out in her jammies to High School Musical 3 (which we LOVE by the way)

The day after Thanksgiving was a great day for shopping!  I went out with my sister Emily and my Mom and had a great time.  We came home around 10, got our kids and headed back out for more of the madness.  In the middle of all of this we ended up with these sparkly reindeer horns.  Steve and Abby had a great time sporting them around the house.

Abby got a package in the mail that said to open immediately so we did.  Inside were griddle mold things.  We enjoyed making these funly designed pancakes for breakfast on Sunday!  THANKS AUNT SARAH & UNCLE SAM!!!!!

Noodle chillin' in her new peacoat from Uncle Clayton & Aunt Elizabeth!  She looks just adorable in it, especially with a scarf wrapped around her neck.  THANK YOU!!!!!

AND........last but not least,  After an unfortunate turn of events last week, this week actually turned out okay.  My dear sweet Stephen came home from work late today.  I automatically jumped down his throat asking where he had been because I needed the car.  He graciously walked toward me with a smile on his face and handed me a dozen beautiful red roses!  I feel so blessed to have a husband that is so in tune with my needs.  Without going into detail, last week was difficult on our little family and Stephen has been amazing through it all.  I am sure he has wanted to leave this home a million times because of all of the emotions that a woman can have.  Instead, he came home with a smile on his face AND with flowers for me!  I LOVE YOU STEPHEN!!!!  Thank you for everything that you do for our family!

I love my family, they are the music in ME!
