Gabby Reading Santa Mouse to Santa

Gabby enjoys the book "Santa Mouse" and has been reading it to Santa. She has taken this Santa around the house several times...during this time Santa was tired and needed a little rest.

Some of Gabby's Favorite Things....at the Farm

Gabby loves going to the farm to stay with grandma and grandpa....and now I know why. She gets to eat pancakes and bacon for breakfast and then spends a lot of time on the swings...who wouldn't like that??? I'm sure that old boot is clean :)

Halloween

Gabby wanted to be a bunny rabbit for Halloween. Gabby was so excited and we learned all about bunnies :) On Sunday she went to a haunted house and was very brave. She kept telling me that they were not real monsters that they were pretend monsters so she was not scared.

Monday, Little Red School House had a parade down the street and Gabby was the lead bunny! I am amazed that the white bunny outfit did not end up in the mud...:) Then they sang Halloween songs in front of the whole school and all of the parents The video is too long but I posted a clip of it. They also had pumpkin carving and pinatas at school!

After school Gabby and I carved our pumpkins and then went trick-or-treating. She lasted about 40 min and then decided that she was ready to go home. Once we got home we discovered all of our candy had been taken and we didn't know what to give the remaining trick-or-treaters - so Gabby and I handed out the candy she had been given! The only thing Gabby wanted was a bag of popcorn that she was given so we popped a small bag of popcorn and had a glass of milk and then went to bed (not 1 piece of candy!!). I can only wish that this will be a trend for Halloween's to come...

A Few Fun Pictures

Gabby has been busy these past few weeks. We went to the farm and she got to ride Morning Glory. Grandma Debi was amazed at how far she likes to ride! It was a beautiful day and we had fun visiting with Freckles and the goats. Gabby had a little tumble on the stone floors at Grandma Debi's and ended up with a good knock on her nose...but yes, as Grandpa Dale predicted - she is just fine :)

Gabby got a fun new birthday present - a flannel board complete with all the pieces for any nursery rhyme you can think of! Gabby has had fun playing with her board and lately she pretends she is a teacher and uses her pointer (aka back scratcher) and points to the letters on her board. Old (her stuffed dog) and her dolls are excellent students!

Gabby Turns 3!

It is hard to believe that my little girl is already 3 years old! We had a fun get-together the day before her birthday. She got to see a lot of her friends and hang out with her cousins. There were about 20-30 kids at our house :))) Between the trampoline, coloring books, kitchen and bubbles...of and cookies, I think most kids had a really good time. The next morning was Gabby's actual birthday and we had a nice relaxing morning as Gabby opened presents at her leisure (which was very slow!). We were very blessed!

These pictures are from the morning of Gabby's acutal birthday. Gabby got a magic wand from Grandma Debi and she absolutely loves it!

Gabby was Student of the Week

I am so proud of my little girl! She was named Student of the Week today. Attached is the cutest video of Gabby when she was given a McDonald's gift card...

Gabby is really enjoying school. She has made some good friends and is really enjoying her weekly homework. She is learning to use scissors and makes sure we know all the rules at the school.

It is hard to believe that she will be 3 in a couple of weeks!

Gabby at the Circus

We went to the circus last weekend and had a blast. We had front row seats and Gabby loved to watch the horses and elephants. Lots of loud music and lots of lights!
