Christmas morning 2008

Christmas morning was very exciting. Abigail got a new bicycle that was all decked out with Tinkerbell and Logan got a new wagon. Logan contently sat in the wagon and snacked on Gummy ears and Cheerios while the present-opening frenzy took place all around him. It was a very relaxing day since we didn't have gatherings to run off to.

Christmas show

This was Abigail's Preschool Christmas show. She did a tap dance and sang some songs with her class. Very cute!

Halloween 2008

Logan did not like his purple dragon costume one bit. He decided to go to bed while his sister did the trick-or-treating. The costume stayed on just long enough to get the picture.

Abigail turns 4!! We went to the Dallas Zoo

Where did the time go?

We went to visit one of Abigail's good friend's Ainsley. They had a great time playing and the weather was great so they played outside on Ainsley's new playset for a while. Poor Logan spent most of the morning being forced to nap against his will. He did get to spend a little time doing some swinging in one of the twins' swings.

The first weekend in April, Abby and Logan went to McDonald's to help their good friend Skylar celebrate her 2nd birthday. Happy birthday Skylar!!

Here are some pictures of Doug when he was a baby. His mom saved the blue outfit so, of course, we had to put it on Logan. That is Carole Ann holding Doug when he was seven weeks old in the picture above. I didn't see that much resemblance between Doug and Logan until I saw these pictures together. I think they are close to the same age in the pictures above.

We had a possum trapped in our toolshed for about a week. It finally got brave enough to attempt an escape but I think Chopper spotted it after it had managed to get about halfway around our backyard fence. I don't know how long the possum had been stuck in this one spot with Chopper beneath him standing guard but it was probably for a few hours. Once we got Chopper away from him he wandered off on his own. He made a big mess on one of the shelves in our shed by tearing up a bag of charcoal. That was fun to clean up.

Here are Abigail and Logan enjoying the warm weather we have been having lately. We are once again trying to get our backyard into shape so I use the outdoor time to do some weedpulling and cleaning up while the kiddos play. Doug built this sandbox when Abigail was about nine months old and she doesn't get to use it as much as she would like because we get attacked by all of the mosquitos in the summer. Maybe this year we can keep them under control!

Here are two of Abigail's classmates Autumn (left) and Eva(right) decorating their cookies.

Abigail's preschool class at St. Paul Christian School had an Easter party. They did some cookie decorating and then hunted for Easter Eggs. We have another Easter Egg hunt this Saturday so I'll probably have more pictures then.

Happy St. Patricks Day!

Abby and Logan getting some love from their Cappy.

Here are a few pics of Abigail and Logan lounging around and watching cartoons in their pj's on Sunday morning.
