Best Buddies

Abigail absolutely adores Kylah.  Now Kylah, on the other hand...well, I'm not sure this is how she envisioned spending her senior years.

Christmas 2013

We wanted to get Abigail's picture in front of the tree this year.  The only way we could keep her still was to put her in the rocking chair but then the challenge was getting her to keep her legs down!

 We went to my parents' house the weekend before Christmas for the Barnwell celebration.  It was chaos with 5 little girls and a huge pile of presents!

Abigail was more interested in pulling the ornaments off of Nana's tree.

 And playing with the ribbons

The beads on the tree were most exciting of all!

She did finally pay attention to presents at the end.

Christmas morning Abigail had presents from Santa and from us.  Unfortunately, she also had a cold so she didn't get to enjoy her presents as much as she wanted.  She did at least get the hang of opening presents.

We went to Johnathan's parents' house Christmas afternoon where Abigail had more presents to open.

A few days after Christmas, Johnathan's brother's family came to visit.  The kids had a good time playing together.

House Updates

Finally - things inside the house seem to be moving along.  I took these pictures mid-December before the painting was done.

Master shower - our tile guy was amazing!

Master bath

Hands down - the BEST part of the house!

 The front porch is pretty great too.

Check out the fabulous backsplash thanks to Johnathan and our very, very good friend Jeremy Carlson .  I'm sure I owe him several dinners!
