Christmas and Abby's 9th Birthday

Hello.

We had a very good holiday season.

Madi finished up a good semester at school.  It was good to have her home.  Andrew and Abby enjoyed spending time with her.

We had some family pictures taken that never made it into a Christmas card. So, I will post them here.






Abby received an award at school before Christmas break, the Whale Done of the Month, for character.  Madi and I went to her ceremony.


We spent time with family.  Rebekah's brother Trevor and his family, Lori and Stephanie, came to visit.


The cousins on my side got together with for a picture over Thanksgiving.  We spent time with them over the holiday as well.


The gift run down goes like this.  Madi got mostly clothes, Andrew got a few xbox games and clothes, Abby got alot of LOL Surprise dolls, an American Girl doll kitchen, and  slime stuff.  

We also spent time on over the Holiday and most of January watching Andrew play basketball.  Always enjoyable.  Tough to get pics, but here is his individual photo.


Rebekah and Madi took a trip to NYC over break and had a great time.



Abby participated in her first swim meet at the YWCA in January.  She got a 1st place in 25 free, and a second and third place in her other events.  A fun start.  



Abby also turned 9!!  We had a kid party were the focus was slime, of course.  Abby is a real expert and led the group to perfect results.  She had a good time with her friends.




Madi took her for a sister evening before she left for her birthday.  They went roller skating, went to Hoss's, and went to Target....Abby's favorite places.



We also celebrated with family.  She received another American Girl doll and more LOL doll gifts. 



This Spring, Madi will be wrapping up her second year of college.  Andrew will be finishing up basketball and then beginning to prepare for track.  Abby will keep up with swimming practice through the end of Feb.  

Wishing you a good end to Winter and start to spring.....
