I guess I could've titled this "Christmas at Mom's" but this is the first year she bought an artificial tree, and I just can't get over it :) I know, it's not really a big deal, but to someone who always picked out the Christmas tree to be cut down (including a really fat one that fell over once when I was in high school - thanks to my friend, Tiff, who caught it), it was strange to see an artificial one. I didn't realize it at first, and Jason even felt it and thought it was real. I noticed when I was nursing Abby and looking at the tree. I had never seen a real tree with a "hairy" trunk before...that's when I knew. It is a nice tree though...anyhow...we went to my mom's the day after Christmas and only stayed until Monday because there was a sickness floating around that Jason caught (he was in bed from Tues. until Fri. evening).
Abby's new teapot - so cute!Caden enjoys playing with it too.
Caden's new microphone from Aunt Erin...love it!
"Moon Dough!!" from Aunt Erin (not sure that I like it, very different from Play-doh)
Abigail and her "Abigail" cup - something my mom has been wanting to get her ever since she was first born
Abby's new fish puzzle that Aunt Erin put together for her - looks great in her bedroom - nice work Aunt Erin!
"Yea - a new rattle ball! I love it Mammy!"
This was a gift for Caden and Abby - so Caden brought it over to her so she could open it too...he did that any time there was a gift for the two of them, so sweet!
Little People Manger Set - something I've wanted for awhile now :)
Caden got these keys from Mammy and wanted a place to hang them...guess he found a place all on his own.
A nice looking Santa at our Russell family Christmas Party :)

Abby is always smiling and happy. So cute that Caden shares opening the presents with Abby. Love the pictures of your mom with the kids. Also love the picture of real people and fake tree. The picture of Abby looking at the tiger is precious.
I love that you love real trees :)
