A daughter is the happy memories of the past, the joyful memories of the present, and the hope and promise of the future.

Christmas 2012

When we got home from Smithville on Christmas Eve, we put out cookies and water for Santa Claus.  We figured with all the milk he would be drinking that night he might would enjoy a good glass of water instead.  We then went outside and put out reindeer food for the reindeer.  We also found Ms. Elfee one last time and told her 'bye-bye' until next year.  We enjoyed Ms. Elfee being around and was sure going to miss her.

On Christmas morning, Abby noticed Santa came to see her.  The water and cookies were gone and there were presents under the tree.  Abby got a Doc McStuffin movie, truck, remote control car, bath toys, train, and so much more.  Her big gift was a playhouse, which she loves!

Christmas was such a blast this year with Miss Abbygale and I think she enjoyed the holiday season.  Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve - Ingram's 2012

On Christmas Eve we went to Smithville to Granny's to celebrate Christmas with all the Ingram's.  It was lots of fun.  We had yummy Mexican food, great socializing, and Abby got way to many gifts.  We played Bunco too, which was so much fun!  Abby was very good at unwrapping presents and loved all her new toys.  She got a bubble lawn mower, a dress up monkey, a princess castle and princesses, a doctor's kit, and money for her savings account.  She is well loved!  We had a blast and it always seems like it goes by way to fast.  We can't wait for our next Ingram gathering.





 


 




Christmas Photos 2012 - 16 Months

Abbygale got a GORGEOUS dress and coat from Granbette so we had to stop down town Smithville to try and get a pretty picture of Princess Abbygale.  She really wasn't in the picture taking mood (what's new?) but I think they captured the memory just perfectly.  Abby is one gorgeous girl with such a strong, precious personality!  She is our sweetie-pie for sure!


 

 




Ingram Family Christmas 2012

The weekend before Christmas we went to Allen, Texas for the Ingram Christmas.  We had a fun weekend with Rikki, Adriel, Preston, Tyler, Mawmaw, and Pawpaw.  We just hung out and relaxed and played, played, played!  We went for walks/bike rides, went to the park, watched Preston at his soccer game, baked and decorated cookies, and even got some shopping accomplished.  It was a great weekend seeing all the immediate family and being together since that happens very rarely these days!  We even took a picture with everyone in it – I think that is the very first picture of all of us!  Abby enjoyed playing and visiting with her cousins and I enjoyed the family time.
