Sinus Infection

Yesterday Ab's eye was a little swollen, so I just thought I'd watch it... Today it was a lot swollen, so I called the Dr. Apparently it was a sinus infection that went into her eye. It hasn't bothered her at all. She just likes to look in the mirror at it, because it's pink... therefore beautiful.

Ski time

Larry has been taking Luke skiing with him. Luke gets so excited waiting for Grandpa to come and pick him up. This last time they went, Sharla, the girls, and I drove up to watch him come down a few times. He acted like such a big kid getting on and off the lift, then coming down with a huge grin on his face.

Abby wanted to try skiing too. So we had her put Luke stuff on, and Larry took her on the magic carpet. She got about fifteen feet, then sat down and said, "I'm finished" She talked about skiing for the rest of the day.

Christmas Day

We had a good Christmas!  The kids slept in on Christmas morning, and when Luke came in our room that morning, he had totally forgotten that it was Christmas. They had a good time opening their gifts. We had Grandma and Grandpa Dawson and Eli come over for Breakfast, then later in the afternoon we headed over to the Dawson's to see the rest of the family.

Christmas Eve

Like every year, we spent Christmas Eve with my parents and my siblings. We missed Luke and Lisa, but everyone else was able to get together. This year was a bit more lively with the three one year olds. I think my brother, Brent, who just got home from his mission was overwhelmed by the noise. I told him that I thought he'd gotten even more quiet while he was on his mission, but he just said the kids had gotten more noisy.

Abigail is 3!

Abby was excited for her grandparents to come over to help celebrate her birthday.
 She wasted no time opening her gifts.

She tried on her new outfit from Grandma Sharla

She had a Strawberry shortcake cake, and strawberry ice cream. She had a lot of fun, and said thank-you many times for all the fun presents.

Things Abby loves....

-Babies... She's always bringing me babies and blankets to wrap them up and also asks me to babysit. Her babies are from left to right, Shelby, Alyson, Minnie, Dora, & Cindy.
-Locking Carly in her room... it's not as bad as it sounds, but she's always luring Carly into their room with pretend treats or dolls, then she shuts the door behind them, therefor, forcing Carly to play babies with her. I always hear Carly yelling at the closed door, and Abby saying, 'just play with me!' Other than forcing Carly to play with her, she's such a sweet sister to her.

-Luke... She loves her brother. These two do everything together. Sometimes I forget that they're not the same age, because they play so well. Abby wanted hot chocolate the other day, so I got out her snowman mug, and she said, "get Luke's" . She assumes if she wants something, so does Luke. I had Abby wear a towel around her neck so she didn't spill on her shirt (she had a movie date with Grandma Barb) so she got one for Luke too.
-cutting her hair... It was finally starting to grow out again after going through 6 mo. on and off stint of cutting her hair. I was so excited to be able to do new things with it, when she decided to trim it again. You can see in the above picture that her bangs aren't as full on the left side. It wasn't too bad this time, but I'm thinking about throwing away ALL scissors in the household.

-Pink!... She likes me to ask her questions... I ask,"what's your favorite game?" "PINK!" "What's your favorite movie?" "PINK!" You get the picture... just any game or any movie, or any food, doll, shirt, etc... with pink on it. She's pretty easy to please.

We love our sweet Abigail!
