Criss Cross makes you want to jump jump

Abby has shown some interest in fashion this week. Every morning she has picked out her own outfit and put it on herself.

Monday's outfit.

This is what she suggested for me.

This was Tuesday outfit and today was special because she wanted to do her own hair.

This is what she picked out this morning. I thought this would be a good opportunity to bring up modesty. It was a little too Brittany Spears for me. Our skirts will be to the knees for now on.

She changed into this. I don't think she understood all of our modesty talk, but most girls don't. We still have some time to work on it.

Even Milly got in on the fun.

So Close!

I think I'm going to have to name my next kid beaver. I don't know how it happened, but for some reason I turned into an old lady. My favorite things to do is make cookies and sew. Chance started calling me Granny Annie because I got a sewing machine for Christmas. I don't care because I have made some fabulous stuff. I also have become a pro at making cookies. Yes, Brittany they even have sugar, and they're not hard as a rock. I think my secret weapon is Abby, she brings a little love into them. You can't see how cute it is, but I made her apron.

Last week another wife made cookies and brought them into Jeddy's work. So of course I have been trying out all kind of new recipes so I can show her up. How dare she I'm the one that brings the treats. I might have to start making Jeddy's lunches and leave cute little notes. This girl doesn't know what she is messing with.

I can't believe Christmas is over and it's already 2008. We had such a good Christmas. The Girls loved it. Jeddy and I had the best time watching Abby get excited about all the little things. Abby took forever to open all her gifts because she wanted to open every toy and play with it before we moved to the next. We both thought this would be a year to remember. The best part about Christmas is the day after. Abby stayed in her room all day playing with her new toys. It might of been the first day we didn't have to do a naughty spot. Anyone that has a two year old knows that's a good day. Milly has a good day every day. She is my sweet sweet girl and looks out for my sanity. Just when I think I'm going to Mom crazy she flashes her oh so perfect smile and I remember I do love my kids.

We spent New Years at the beach house. It was a close one because at 7:30 Jeddy was asleep in bed. Don't worry I was saved by Milly. She woke him at at 9:30 and he made it to 11:30 so I got my New Year's kiss from Miss Mills.

I love the surprised look
