Because Grandma Said So: December 2011

Thanksgiving was very relaxing this year. We went over to Grandpa Dan’s this year for dinner. The food was great and the girls had a great time. The best part about Thanksgiving this year was that Savannah started crawling the day before!! She finally figured out how to pop her belly off the ground and off she went! We were very excited even though we know we are going to be constantly following her around now. She is already into everything and eager to explore.

December has been a very busy month! We started with a birthday celebration for Nana. Abby and Savannah had a great time playing with their cousin Katelyn. We went to Zoo Lights with Papa Maury and Grandma Kathy. Then we celebrated with the Wulbrecht side of the family out at Papa Maury and Grandma Kathy’s house. Cousin’s Mason and Kylee were there too. Abby and Kylee are only a year apart so they had a ton of fun playing and running around together! We spent last weekend celebrating Hanukkah with Granny and Uncle Max. Then the next day was the Lantrip party out at Uncle Eric’s and Aunt Amy’s house! Abby played football with all the boys and her cousin Liv! She was very excited when she got the ball and got to run for a touchdown! Savannah had a big day too! During the party she stood up on her own and she also figured out how to climb up stairs. Good thing the baby gates are all ready up! It has been a great month of celebrations!

Just this past week Abby also got to go on the Polar Express! Nana and Granny took her and had a sleep over. They went to Williams, AZ on Thursday, checked into the hotel and then on to the Polar Express! Abby, Nana and Granny loved it! They spent the night in Williams and then the next morning she played in the snow before they headed back home. Savannah stayed home with Mommy and Daddy, but when she gets older she too will be able to go on exciting trips like this with Nana and Granny!

Abby and Savannah got to see Santa on Monday and ride the train at the Railroad Park. Now we are just finishing up wrapping presents and getting ready for Santa to come! Abby is super excited this year. It is the first year she has written her own Santa wish list. Only 3 more days to go!!!
