Sunday School

I absolutely LOVE Abby's Sunday school class, and more importantly so does she!  She spends her hour singing songs (one day I saw them marching around the room, in a line, shaking maracas, singing 'Jesus Love Me'), playing with play dough, listening to a Bible story, and making a craft.  Her sweet teacher loves Abby, and does an amazing job with the children.  I couldn't get photos of all the fun, but I took her picture this morning before class officially started. 


 Her little feet don't touch the floor :)

Great Aunt Edna's 100th Birthday

It isn't very often one gets to attend a 100th birthday.  I have to add that for one hundred years old, the girl still looks good! 
 I really love and admire this woman. 
 Abby was more into the cake and balloons...

(Recognize the dress G.G.?)

Valentine's Breakfast





 Apparently one must have dainty hands to prepare the heart pancakes

 "Heart!"



Pleased with her art

The Day it Rained Hearts

Today Abby and I experienced a first for us both.   We went to a class held at Creative Escape called "Paint a Story."  We listened to a story, "The Day it Rained Hearts" and then Abby got to paint her own piece of pottery!  The closest thing she has held to a paintbrush prior to today would be my eyeshadow brush.  However, she somehow knew exactly what to do!  It was an adorable experience, and I am grateful that I was able to spend quality time with my little girl today.

Her first moments painting captured on video!


Notice the paint on her little face.  She had such a good time today!

The Ice Storm of 2011


 Standing on two inches of solid ice!  Abby fell on her rear end immediately following this picture :)



Cold hands didn't stop her fun!

 Daddy's turn!

 Abby had a blast!  The red runny nose didn't get in the way of her good time.
