Abby played a mean trick on her dad at lunch, right before he had to go back to work. She managed to explode the sippy cup again (she bites the lid and then pulls the cup until it separates). Then, as the picture shows, they both had to have a major change of clothes.

Very Messy Lunch Date

Cookie Exchange
Today Abby and I hosted what we hope was the first annual Christmas cookie exchange at our house. It was a lot of fun, but also a lot of work. Yesterday Steve, Abby, and I made about 16 dozen cookies (we also had some help from our friends Trevor, Tara, & Maddie Dodge). So for the exchange we provided butter cookies, peanut butter cookies with reese's cups inside, and 2 varieties of sugar cookies (one roll out and one drop style). I think we are all cookied out for a while.
Abby enjoyed her weekend with Daddy. We did lots of playing and watching Veggie Tales together. We are going to have a girls only night tonight while Steve goes with friends to see the Manly Man Movie of the month (Avatar). I think Abby and I will finish up a few Christmas shopping type things and probably enjoy another Veggie Tales movie. Then we may very well be having our family Christmas tomorrow night, just in case we need to leave Wednesday to avoid any snowy weather. So far it seems that we will be clear until Christmas Day, but you just never know with the lake effect snow bands we have to drive through (mostly from St. Ignace to Grayling). And we need to do Christmas before we ride down because Steve and I want some new Veggie Tales to listen to while we drive.

Bubble Bath Time
Steve took Abby upstairs to "put on her pajamas" last night and after 30 minutes they had still not emerged, so I went to see how they were coming on the change from play clothes to pajamas. Somehow Abby accidentally fell into the bathtub, which evidently filled itself with water and bubbles in the process. And Abby and her dad were having a great time making bubble beards, bubble shirts, and doing bubble high fives. Abby even made a bubble beard for Steve. It was pretty funny! I am glad that I don't have to worry about my girl when her daddy is around.
Abby has been practicing her reading skills a lot lately. She can tell what the title of the book is and will often say the title to us when she brings the book over to be read. She can also read quite a few pages from "Hop on Pop," especially the "All Tall" page. We obviously are a little biased, but we are pretty sure she is way smarter than most kids her age. She even has been practicing her good manners lately and has been using the phrase "excuse me" after she has a little burping or tooting going on. And because she has been using her manners she also now knows that "me" refers to her, so last night when we were playing ball and I asked her who I should throw the ball to, she said "me" instead of Abby. Again... this girl is way to smart.
