Christmas Party FUN

What was supposed to be a great night...

Abigail always wants to go with Don and I when we go see a play at the Desert Star Playhouse. Since they do a Christmas show I purchased us tickets and was really excited to take her. Long story short as soon as the lights went out Abigail turned to me and said in a teary voice she wanted to go home now. Not 5 seconds later she started puking. I tried to get her out as fast as possible and without her (or us) being to embarrassed. Did not work. Both of us were covered in vomit and so was the floor the whole way out. My poor baby girl. I felt really sad for her. We got her home and bathed and ended the night with cuddles and a movie. I should have known better because I had been in bed sick since the day before and didn't want to go myself. We won't be doing that again if either if us are feeling sick! At least I got a few pictures before the show...

My little Brownie

I have had the opportunity to be involved this year in Abigails girl scout troop. It is the greatest troop. Our troop is HUGE! We have Daisy's, Brownies, Juniors, Cadette's, and Seniors. All in one troop. This is awesome for many reasons. All the girls interact with each other. The older girls help the younger and everyone is just really nice and helpful. Each group of girls have their own leaders. We meet at a church which happens to be the one we go to already. 

Abigail has been working on many badges. The currant one is a journey badge which take a lot longer then other badges. She has been learning about healthy choices, exercises, conserving natural resources, and helping her community. The girls planned an outing to a senior center to give some Grandma's a manicure. They all did so great and loved the ladies. It was a night full of smiles and laughter. 

Abigail's cute grandma fell asleep!

This cute Grandma was giving a few of the girls a ride on her walker. She told us she should charge them hugs for the rides. 

I was really proud of Abby because she was very nervous about this. She did really well and just jumped right in and got to work painting nails and making new friends.
