We are leaving for Pocatello tomorrow to spend over a week with my family for Christmas and I am so excited! We havent all been together since my sister's wedding over a year ago. I guess that is what happens when your siblings live in Chicago, Washington D.C., and Singapore but thank goodness for the holidays! Before we leave I wanted to share some pics of the fun things we have been doing this Christmas season. It is so fun to have Abigale who is starting to get really excited about Christmas and loves the tree and the lights and to also have our sweet little Lydia to cuddle with and to hold. I just love this time of year and hope that everyone has a very Merry Christmas!
Doesnt she look so old?!

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving was very relaxing for us this year. We were supposed to be with Jonathan's family but we didn't feel good about driving to St. George with a two year old and a three week old so we stayed at home with my parents. We made enough food for ten people but it was just the four of us plus two kids. At least we had a lot of yummy leftovers!
Our cute girls are ready for the big meal:

Special Visitors
After Lydia was born Jonathan's parents came to visit for a weekend and provided some much needed help. They helped entertain Abigale while I took care of Lydia and then took care of Lydia so that I could play with Abigale. It was so fun to spend time with them. We are sad that we dont live close anymore but hopefully they come and visit us again soon. A few weeks later, Jonathan's wonderful sisters came to visit and stay with us for a few days. Abigale and Lydia were both sick so we spent a lot of time at the house but it was so fun and relaxing to hang out and catch up. Abigale did not want them to leave. She had so much fun playing with her aunts and I didnt want them to leave because it was much needed girl time for me. Thanks again for coming! We miss you so much!

No More Diapers!
That's right! Abigale is potty-trained!! Hurray! The last three days she hasn't had any accidents and even when we put a diaper on her for naps or at night she wakes up dry and asking to sit on the potty. We tested her last night and took her on some errands and to dinner for a few hours and she did fantastic- no accidents. Today she was playing in the leaves with her Grandpa and she stopped and ran inside and told me she had to go. I am sure that there will be accidents in the future but for now I would say she is officially potty trained. Hurray! She is so funny because once she picks up on something, she picks up on it fast. That is how she was with signing, crawling, walking, and now this. We are so proud of her and it couldn't have come at a better time. We love you Abigale and thank you for making it easy on us!
