First snow!

Look at the love in Abbie’s eyes (her daddy really did hang the moon)!

First snow of the year!  We didn’t want to miss the fun so we headed out at 7pm (next day was supposed to be warm=no more snow).  Glad we did, the girls (and hubby) had a blast!  Tess wasn’t so sure at first, but quickly warmed up.  She tried to keep up with her big sis and daddy in the snowball fight but discovered that eating the snow was much more fun!  Abbie was really good at making the snowballs this year.  The Christmas tree that was still on our porch (i know, a little redneck-thanks hubby) was a great shield for the fight.  Tess and I went in to warm up while daddy and Abbie made their huge snowman.  She was so proud that night, and a little disappointed to wake up to see the snowman had disappeared!! 

Park Day in January

 

A warm day in January??  I’ll take it!  We headed to the park, fed the geese right from our hands, played on the swing set, watched the birds come in, and just enjoyed some family time.  Both girls had a blast running around the play set, going down the slide and swinging.  Tess LOVED feeding the geese from her hands, Abbie….not so much, but she enjoyed watching from afar!

I knew I always wanted my girls to have their own personality but wow, they are so complete opposites of each other.  Now that Tess’ personality is really coming out, it’s so neat to see the differences.  Abbie is so timid around new experiences, Tess just walks on up with no care in the world.  Abbie is so quiet, Tess-so loud.  Abbie is patient, Tess is the EXACT opposite, she knows what she wants and wants it NOW.  Love it!!

So proud!

Abbie spent the day with MiMi back in December, and as always, they created a special project together.  This is the project 4 weeks later and she’s never been so proud!!!  She took special care to make sure it always had enough water and sunlight.  Thanks MiMi for spending that special time with my little girl!  She has no idea how lucky she is to have such loving and supportive grandparents!
