A Busy Month!

Since about the week before Thanksgiving it seems as though we haven't stopped. We have been busy with some service type projects, it is very important to me to teach our children about serving others. We have been baking excessively, eating sometype of goodie almost everyday. On top of that their was shopping, which still isn't complete, getting a tree, decorating, going to the aquarium, seeing santa, making crafts, Abbys 1st birthday and now snow!
We got a tree from our normal location, JFK gardens in Maple Valley. It is different than our usual. We like the nobles, but with lots of spacing between the layers. They didn't have one like that this year and so ours is fuller, but I am finding that I like it a lot. We got the house decorated, Jer went crazy with the outdoor lights, but it looks beautiful. The girls made some ginger bread men and we put those on the tree. We have chirstmas music on constantly and it is so nice to feel the christmas spirit. We are busy this year with parties and it has been a lot of fun.
Abby turned a year last Wednesday. She is still so little and cute. We celebrated on Sunday with family. We had dinner and I made a special cake for her. It was time consuming, but I think it turned out really well.
She wasn't too into the her party. She just liked crawling around to everyone and saying hi.
Not everyone was able to come to Abbys birthday because we got SNOW!!! It was like 25 degrees so it was also frozen and icy on the roads. We missed those who weren't able to come. The girls are liking the snow, but it is so cold out that they don't last very long. They are also liking the hot chocolate that goes along with getting chilly.
