Ho Ho Ho!

We had our annual Gingerbread Party today and it was a blast! Tons of kids, frosting, laughing, candy, and cookies. Abbey was so happy with the whole event. After we came home and ate lunch I let her have a little of her house. Silliness overcame her and she decided to deposit a ton of sprinkles into her diaper. She is really into sprinkles. She spotted them at the party and went and got them off another table and then shook as much as she could all over her plate. We followed up the party by a trip to see a special train display at a store and ended up meeting the best Santa I've seen. She was very shy with him but when she realized he had candy canes she overcame her fear and approached him. It was very sweet. Abbey is calling any Santa we see Ho Ho.
Today we had a great time at church with lots of Christmas songs and crafts. Later we went to our FCC Single Mom's Holiday Party and got to see one of our travel mates and her daughter from Abbey's orphanage whom we had not seen since we went to China last year, so that was very special. They've both grown so much and yet I still see the same babies in their faces from when we first met. Afterwards we went to Candy Cane Lane and got so excited about all the lights that we had to get out of our car and walk around. It was beautiful!
