One More...Ansley, by 2pm Christmas day...

Where will it all go?!

When we got home from Greenville it looked like Santa had just thrown up all over our living room!.......check out Ansley's expression, priceless!!

Luckily with the help of some Target gift cards we were able to buy some better storage!!

PS...don't mind the random paint on the wall above, we're trying out different colors in hopes of painting the living room and kitchen SOON!

McAbee Christmas!

We were in Greenville for Christmas this year. We stayed with my dad and Shari so Santa delivered lots of presents there for Ansley. I had told my dad that this would not be necessary because Ansley isn't old enough to actually understand that it's Christmas but I'm sooo glad he and my step-mom made a big deal out of it. The look on her face when we came down the stairs Christmas morning was priceless!! We went over to my grandparent's house for lunch where they and my aunt and uncle had more presents waiting for my little one! It was such a special day!

This picture gives you and idea of what was waiting for Ansley that morning. She picked out all of the Elmo stuff first...then the baby dolls!

I don't think she could ever get tired of playing with babies!

Here, Ansley is playing with magnets with Nee-Cee...if she only knew what was waiting for her in the other room!

After Ansley looked at all of the toys, she seemed more fascinated with my grandfather's baseball figurines on the bookcase...until one of them fell on her in attempt to grab it. My step mom had Lasik surgery 2 days earlier...she doesn't usually wear sunglasses inside!

...the other 1/2!

MORE baby dolls!!

Ansley got a cleaning set to help mommy around the house!

One of the kitchens she got for Christmas...this one will stay in Greenville!

Looking at all of her groceries!

We celebrated with my mom and Jim Christmas eve...but I was apparently distracted and took zero pictures. They got Ansley a nice kitchen that is now in our living room. She's played with that and the groceries non-stop! It was a busy 2 week Christmas but it re-affirmed with us how wonderfully the Lord has blessed us with family that just absolutely adores us. We are so thankful for not only the many gifts that were given but also the wonderful food that filled our bellies, the beds that we were allowed to sleep in, and great conversation. We LOVE you ALL!!

Reeves' Christmas!

We celebrated with the Reeves the weekend before Christmas! We flew Troy's grandmother in from California for 2 weeks so she could be a part of the festivities. She hadn't had the chance to meet Ansley or Willow yet so it was nice to have everyone together! It's always fun to watch Ansley interact with her cousins...she gave Willow lots of "love"!

Christmas Tree Time!!

We went to Penland Tuesday and cut down our tree...Ansley wasn't even crawling yet at Christmas time last year so this year will be much more exciting for her!

Um, seriously...could she be more excited??!! Our chosen tree Before...

Ansley helped Troy cut...

...and After!

We have the tree up and decorated and surprisingly Ansley hasn't messed with it much! We've only broken 1 ornament so far...I guess it's a good thing they all came from Big Lots and weren't expensive!!

Pics of Thanksgiving!!

The triptophan kicked in immediately with Willow!

Ansley just loved the 'baby'...they're only 9 mos apart!
