Abby Ann :)

Life has been busy- but oh so blessed- and by busy I mean- we're enjoying life.  :)  We took Abby away "on holiday" last weekend.  We headed up to Gilford, NH and stayed at the very hotel that Leif and I booked when I was very pregnant with Abby and in need of some pool side R&R. :)  It was neat to return with our amazing little girl. :)  Mandy and Matt came with us and we had a really wonderful weekend.  We walked Weirs Beach, swam in the hotel pool, played a somewhat heated game of Monopoly, and enjoyed watching Abby do her Abby thing (which involves lots of smiling, laughing, crawling, scooting, shouting, talking, more smiling, and more crawling)  :)  Here are some pics from the weekend:

Thanksgiving was wonderful as well.  We celebrated with everyone at my Aunt Amy's house.  She always puts on such a wonderful dinner.  We had the traditional turkey day feast and Abby enjoyed a feast of her own as well!  Leif and I started off Thanksgiving by watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in our pajamas with Abby- this is family tradition and I had been talking about this parade for a good month before the holiday.  Abby liked the music and vibrantly dressed dancers.  She didn't watch a whole ton of the parade- she had better things to do- but enjoyed the little bit that caught her attention.

Here are some pics from Thanksgiving:

There's so much more that I want to share- more to come! :)  Sending lots of love and hugs and kisses! :)
