Pop Pop

Grandma and Pop Pop's house was a really big hit this Thanksgiving but I have to say that Abby had a special thing for Pop Pop which was really sweet. I have a video of her bringing him toys so he can play with her. Really cute. Today, Grant decided to join Abby and I while we walked the dog. I said, "Abby! Do you know who's coming with us to walk the dog?" And she said without a moment of hesitation "Pop Pop?" When I told her no she said, "Grandma?" Then tonight at dinner after we said grace, I asked her who we are talking to when we pray. She said, "Pop Pop?" Grant and I both had a good laugh.

We have a little picture bible that Abby sometimes looks at. There is a picture of Jesus riding a donkey with a little girl reaching up to Him. She loves to look at that page. After we told her that we talk to Jesus when we pray she said, "Donkey?" -- which I think means that she is putting together that Jesus is the one riding the donkey. It's amazing to see her little mind work.

And here she is with a fabulous hat. We got our first "christmas treats" bag today from a friend and Abby grabbed the red cellophane and quickly put it on her head. She made a day of it. Love the "new" toys that don't cost a thing!
