Where have I been?

I know right! I haven't posted in awhile. I like to have people tell me to keep this up so they can read the exciting things going on in my life.. haha.

For Thanksgiving we went to my parents. It was fun. My daughter believes you HAVE to have a turkey on Thanksgiving, and luckily for us my parents say okay. :) Abigail just loved that turkey. I asked Abbie was she was thankful for and she said her family and her pets. The girl has two guinea pigs. The days before Thanksgiving from her school I did receive a card that had four questions in it with her answers. I have to share them with you guys. :)

1. What is Thanksgiving?
Something you are thankful for

2. Who started Thanksgiving and Why?
Indians because they wanted to help people.

3. Where do you get your turkey?
Buy one at the store.

4. How do you cook a turkey?
You put it in the microwave for 30 seconds.


haha.. I found it funny. On Thanksgiving we made a wreath and I think Abbie did a great job with the decorating and mom you did a great job with the hot glue gun!

Then the Sunday after Thanksgiving we went over to my cousin Erin's house. Thanks Erins for being a great host as always. It was a lot of fun. After leaving Erin's house I thought we were going to join Mariah and Jason for dinner in Sand Springs. Abbie stated that she didn't want to drive all the way to Sand Springs then all the way home. The long drive would cause her to fall asleep and miss all the fun at home. I couldn't really argue with the logic there.

Yesterday, Abbie was telling me about school and she was so excited to explain to me there is an elf in her classroom. This isn't just any elf, this is one that works with Santa. Santa has sent the elf to watch them. Also she was informed that Santa doesn't watch all the kids since he couldn't watch them all over the world including China. *for those of you who don't know, my daughter is very intrigued by the Chinese* She may have also mentioned China because they maybe the only other country she is truly aware of... Anywho. What Santa does do is he sends elves and also uses stuffed animals in kids' rooms to watch the kids and report back to him. I thought well.. I'll keep that one going. The magic is in the spirit of Christmas.
