I have had a goal to reach a certain weight after having Abi. I worked all year and some to reach this goal. SIXTEEN months and one day after having Abi, I reached it! I was even a pound below my weight. I think this was the best Christmas gift ever! It was my reward that I would be able to get some really nice jeans once I reached my goal. I found some Lucky jeans that are AMAZING and were an AMAZINGLY good deal!
Just wanted to share my joy-
Merry Chirstmas to you! (I know it’s late, but whatever)
Abi got fruit in her stocking
Coloring with Grandma
Abi got a babydoll stroller and all she does is push it around all day! She loves it so much that we brought it with us to Colorado. I wish I could share all the cute things she has done in the past two weeks, but it would take forever.
Aunt Jenny gave all the boys swords… as you can see, that was quite the gift!
Abi got some cooking dressups and thinks they’re grand!
Dan scored internet for his phone, a scope for his rifle, paintball gear, fleece vest and jacket, a new leatherman, and apple juice (from his favorite mother-in-law).
I got a right-hand ring from Dan that is just stunning, perfume, lots of jewelry, a gift card to Ikea (yeah), Twilight, a beautiful painting (see below) to hang in my bedroom, and a piano keyboard that is WAY nice. You can hook your iPod up to it and it will play the music from it and you can record to it. I am so excited to play around with it when we get back to Utah.

In Park City, we also did a Murder Mystery dinner and I will post photos of that as soon as I get them!
She just seems to be getting so BIG!
After this cute cute photo, she proceeded to color ALL over the floor.
Eating her oatmeal…
Dad gave her the cookie beaters when we were making some cookies with our good friends…
Having snacks after church last week...
Playing Mr. Sock and Mr. Stinky with dad (it was TOO funny!)
Eating her fortune at the Lotus Garden today
Those eyes could KILL!!
We were extremely blessed this week when we heard a knock at our door and to our surprised there was a huge box of food on our front doorstep. How lucky we are to have people who were in tune with the spirit to know our needs.
Abi got her first haircut tonight. I had such a hard time getting the guts to do it! I think I have talked about it since October! Abi was such a good sport and surprisingly didn’t want to see what I was doing. Dan and a sucker kept her pretty entertained.
We strapped her booster seat backwards in a chair and that worked great. She was such a goof too!
I think she looks like a boy now! But I am hoping that with some cute piggies tomorrow she will look girly!
Half over already?! It just barely started!
Abi has been such a help decorating for Christmas. Here she is putting window clings on the oven.
Abi went shopping with us the other Saturday and was quite obsessed with the “balls” on the tree. I would have been too if they were almost as big as me!
Then we headed to our ward Christmas party… Abi helping herself to the chocolate mousse and then a candy cane. I LOVE this photo! Her eyes are GORGEOUS!
Then Abi helped us clean the church up!
I just couldn’t pass these photos up of our little fam trying to take a funny photo…
Finally!!!
And, like a normal mom, being dressed all nice for a dinner, cleaned the toilets!
Abi has discovered the flour and sugar buckets and loves to move them and sit on them. Just her size.
Last week, my bbsitter bailed on me so Abi went to school with me. All my classmates were so good to help out while I danced. Thankfully my teachers were lax since it was the last week of classes. Abi was SO good (better than normal) that we treated ourselves to a doughnut and a mint brownie! Yum!!!
Dan and I attended a formal dinner for the Ballroom Company. I searched high and low for the perfect dress and I found one! It was stunning and I felt stunning. The best part about it, it was only $30.00 (originally 140.00 for those who are interested)!!! Oh shucks I scored big time!
If any of you ever need a long formal, let me know! I would love to share it!
This week consists of:
Maybe I will get some Christmas cards sent out… um...may be not.
