Well that took a turn...

I was trying to take a nice selfie with Abby in between Christmas Eve services when I noticed she started making faces at herself in the camera. 

Might as well join in...

Christmas Eve

A dress finally came in the mail on Christmas Eve that I had ordered for the Christmas services so Abby was able to wear it to those services. 

First Christmas

Abby loved getting to open presents and her stocking for our early Christmas with Tyler and Liz since they were spending the holidays in Texas with Liz's family. 

Etris family tradition...games all day! For this picture, I believe we were playing a game named "Poo". 

Abby's bike

Tyler and Liz got Abby a bicycle and helmet for her birthday! She loves it, and after a quick seat adjustment was on her way around the house on it!

First Christmas Service

I couldn't find any dresses for Abby to wear to our Christmas services at church so I just sent a sparkly shirt for her to wear with pants that she got for her birthday to Tony and Kathy's house prior to the service. After our rehearsals, Abby showed up in this beautiful dress that Kathy found for her! Our little ice princess!

 

Night at the mall

Abby had her picture with Santa at the mall. 

Then, Adam got into his Scrooge gear for the station promotion at the mall. 

We then sat in the food court and watched Scrooge eliminate contestants by calling out their Christmas bulb numbers. 

The winner received a $1000 gift card to the mall!

Chapstick??

Abby likes to play with some of my "makeup" (Chapstick) a lot. Here, she decided Poppy needed some makeup before her picture with Santa. 

Lips are looking good!

Helping Poppy

Tony sent this picture of Abby outside their house "helping" him rake leaves. 

Brushing her teeth

Adam was putting Abby to sleep one night and while she was brushing her teeth, he came downstairs to grab her pink bear. When he made it back to the stairs, Abby was sitting on the top step waiting for him to get back; still brushing her teeth. 

The mall

We went to the mall to help find me a dress for my work Christmas party and Abby wasn't really feeling her stroller. She just wanted to run around. She has SO MUCH energy in the evenings so she is just bouncing off the walls. 

Hanging out

Abby spends a lot of time at church while  Adam and I are in rehearsals or on stage for the services. This particular night, the person who was keeping her while we were on stage brought her into the lobby to play. She found this little kiosk that people stand behind to talk to people about different ministries in our church and camped out there. She stayed there for the rest of the service so I just plopped down next to her and listened to the sermon from the floor of the lobby. Oh...and that is her pink bear in an offering basket...

Puppycorns are real

We found this funny little shirt for Abby that has a Pug puppy dog with a unicorn horn on its head. It says "#Puppycorns are real". It was a big hit at daycare :-)

Crying laughter

I don't remember why, but Abby was crying about something, so Adam picked her up and started laughing loudly. She eventually turns her crying into laughing. Mission accomplished. 

Birthday Fun

She was happy that I sent Olaf cupcakes to daycare for her birthday yesterday. 

Pictures from her party with the family last night. 

Tsum Tsums!

A Sing Along Elsa

Singing and Dancing Sherriff Cali

After we put her new tablet into the carrier from Lawson and Allison, she wanted to take it out so she could start putting other toys into her new "purse".

Singing Let it Go with Uncle Tyler and Elsa. 

Tired

Abby's last meal on the road trip back from Memphis showed how tired she was. We found a really nice Mexican place to eat at.
