Miracles Happen!

*~Abigail's First Visit to Salem~*

Friday

Jeff and I got up at 430 am to get the final things ready for this trip, Abbi peacefully sleeping did not realize what was in store for her. We got to the airport at 615 am, made it through security and check-in, by the way it was only 34 degrees outside, and we were making it out before the snow storm came to Vegas. WOO HOO, but...it was just as cold in Oregon. We got to Portland, got our car and we were off!!!! Abbi had been the perfect child so far, she was great on the flight and doing good in the car. When we got up here we met Grandma Becky and off we went for lunch at the little diner down the road, before Abbi's next big debut at the Junior High School. We got to the school, oh and I should mention that it was 2 in the afternoon and still only in the low 30s....so we got to the school and Abbi was a hit, she got to meet all of Grandmas friends.

From left to right we have Ann, Tanya, Grandma and Abbi, Kathy and Sandy! - We like them because they said Abbi was cute :-)
Then Abbi got to go and meet all sorts of other teachers and one special student that made her a little hat, he was a sweet llittle boy. After school we went home to relax, Abbi had decided that she was done being good for the day, so we left her with Grandma and went to Target :-) hee hee, BUT we came back to rescue her.
That night Derek and Andrea came over to visit, Andrea is due end of February/First of March with Abbi's boyfirend Aedan. She absolutely loved Derek, she flirted with her batted her eyes at him and stared him down. Derek said she has good taste. It was a great night! They went home and we went to bed.

Saturday
We woke up bright and early, it was a new morning and we had to go to breakfast with Aunt Alison (al), she had driven over from Bend to come and she Abbi! Abbi thought it was to cold outside so she decided to stay home in the warm house, but mom and dad left and the food was fabulous! Then we all went back to the house so Al could see her little girl!

Abbi is such a good girl and Alison brought her all sorts of new clothes for this summer!! We hung out forever and then Uncle Rick came to town from Seattle, he took the train down. Rick is hysterical, he has not held to many babies, but I think that Abbi got about 35 seconds of cuddle time during the trip. He bought her a little REI fleece for next winter though, oh she has such great people that love her.

Then Grandma got some photo time in...

That night we all went out to the Best Little Road House Grill, It was YUMMY! Jeff, Gandma Becky, Abbi, Rick, Alison, Larry and me were fed and fed and fed until we all wanted to pop and then we went home. It was such great food though, Abbi sat around and kept trying to drink Al's beer :-) Trouble in the making already!

After we got done with Dinner Jeff, Grandma, Abbi and I ran home to get Abbi ready for bed and Jeff and I had to go out! Before we could leave we had to take more adorable photos of Abbi!

Once we were done with these embarassing photos....hee hee, oh she is so funny, Jeff and I left to go Karaoke with friends.

Jeff with Bj and Derek

Al and I, Rick, Kristen and Larry were there too, but I do not have any photos with them at this time :-) We had a lot of fun! At 1230 Derek and I got taken home, but Jeff Bj and Rick went out to 330.....Needless to say the next morning was rough for them. Not me :-) Abbi and I were just fine.

SUNDAY

Well we woke up on Sunday morning and the boys were a little slow, but we had a fabulous breakfast and we were lying around :-) Jeff and Rick slept through the football game, which by the way Jeff lost and I am officially out of the football pool, but I will survive...Alison and I went shopping :-)

Rick and Alison had to go home so we took a final picture before they left.

Then...Aunt Sherry and Steve came over to visit! ~ I do not have any photos right now, but they will be posted soon! Auntie brought her two adorable dresses for when she is 2. We went and ate pizza....hung out and It was great to see them. (Auntie send me the photos :-))
When we got home that night we had Christmas with Grandma Becky...

Jeff got a great shirt and an old book that was his favorite book in the world. Grandma had to have someone buy it off of Ebay. Mommy got a great necklace and a sweater that is beautiful, in fact that morning while shopping with Aunt Al she almost bought it for herself, what can I say Becky has good taste. :-)

Now onto the important person, what did Abigail get....Well.....she opened all of her own presents.
