Santa's Little-Known Reindeer: Abby & Millie

Most people have not heard of the last two members of Santa's crew...Abby & Millie.

Here are a few rare photographs of the two Top Secret reindeer...

Mommy's Little Helper

Abby helped make dinner the other night...mini pizzas.

She was very diligent in placing the ingredients just so. (I did catch her sneaking a few olives into her mouth here & there.)







Going for a nice post-dinner trike ride through the house.

Christmas with our Northern Half - Dec 8 & 9

We went out to breakfast at a restaurant with Great Grandma to get together for Christmas.

Abby very much enjoyed her delicious Mickey Mouse shaped pancakes.

Abby received some very fun gifts.
Such as Legos.

A sit-and-spin.

A GRINCH!

(the green one....not daddy.)

After all the fun of celebrating some of us were very tuckered out!

The next morning, there was one more exciting gift to open.

A trike!

Here is Abby helping Joe put it together.

Daycare Christmas Program - DEC 5

Abby's daycare put on a Christmas program.

Abby's toddler class performed Jingle Bells.

At the end of her brilliant performance, Abby leapt from the stage to greet her adoring fans!

This is one of Abby's favorite friends at daycare, Kristin.

Her other good friend is Summer from her class.

Playing with Uncle Jon - Dec 3

My Uncle Jon was in town visiting. Since he lives in Arizona, we do not get to see each other that often...but boy oh boy did we have a good time. Uncle Jon likes Dora too!!

Playing in the Snow - Dec 1

My Friend Haley & I - the Pink Ladies - Nov 30

My friend Haley D is so nice.
I really love spending time with her!

She is getting bigger every day & soon we will be able to make mischief together!

dec 1 - visiting santa

LOL had a Family Christmas party that we went to. We had a great time.

There were horse drawn trolley rides, arts & crafts, games and goodies galore.

They had an amazing magical room set up for the kids to visit Santa. The line was rather lengthy (understandable since Santa is really really cool.) So Abby got a bt antsy. Here she is posing in front of a penguin friend. This is shortly before she tackled Frosty and then decapitated a mechanical reindeer.

When it was, at last, Abby's turn to talk to the big guy, I really did not know what to expect. She looked a little nervous. But she walked right up to Santa, gave him a big hug, and climbed onto his lap!

Turkey Day 2007

We spent Thanksgiving in Northfield with the Tumas this year. Abby was very involved in the preparations to help get ready for the big day.

Here she is prepping the turkey fryer.

She also washed potatoes to help grandma & grandpa.

Abby's cousins Evan & Emma spent the day with us too. Here are Evan & Abby cruising in their Jeep.
Abby & Emma had a tea party down in Tuma's Tavern.
Emma at the wheel.

We have so much to be greatful for!
