Carrollton Christmas

On Saturday, Carrollton had a little Christmas Festival in the old downtown.

Here is Aidan wearing his Lowe's apron. Needless to say Daddy had to complete the wood-working project.

Aidan also checked out the fire truck.

And ate his first candy cane (rather neatly I must say).

Mavs Fan

Aidan went to his first Mavericks game last night. It took us the first 3 quarters to convince him that it was basketball not hockey. Then he got into it. He liked to wave his arms when the other team was shooting foul shots like the people sitting behind the basket. Too bad we were sitting at center court. He does look cute in his jersey though.

Rabby

This is Rabby (at least that is what Aidan calls him, I think it is part rabbit and part bunny). He is Aidan's new 'pet' that has moved into our backyard. We leave carrots out for him to eat and he hops over near the deck at least once every day. Aidan stands at the back door and yells at him to 'hop, hop, hop'.

Christmas

Since the whole Abrams family was together, we had our 'Christmas' and exchanged gifts. Aidan was much more involved in unwrapping his gifts this year than last. Here he is with some of his favorites.

Getting the Christmas Tree

We went the Friday after Thanksgiving to chop down a Christmas tree. Aidan had a good time running through all the trees. He was not too sure though what to think after we cut it down. He looked a little sad.

He is happy to have the tree put up at home now. A couple of times everyday he will walk around naming all the ornaments that he can reach. He is learning all kinds of new words like nutcracker and snowman. My favorites are Christmas tree which sounds like 'kisskiss tee' and 'mittmitts' for mittens.

Thanksgiving

Grandma & Grandpa Minnesota came in from Minneapolis and Aunt Karen came from Denver to spend Thanksgiving weekend with us. Here we are Thursday at dinner.

Aidan dug right in with fork & spoon.

Darren's Birthday

On the 21st, we celebrated Darren's 31st birthday! He got a little help with candles.
