The rest of Auntie Amy's visit!

It's still Abigail here ... if I don't write this you'll never find out what we've been up to!!! As well as lots of eating and sleeping when Auntie Amy was here ... we showed her some of the local sights ... starting with the hangar where Daddy works!

While we were there, me and Mummy finally got to see Daddy's new tool chest ... it's MASSIVE ... I looked so tiny when I was sitting on it ... I bet I could fit in one of the bottom drawers if I tried!

This doesn't happen very often ... but in this next photo ... even Daddy looks small ... this is the map on the wall at MMS showing where previous apprentices have ended up or where planes MMS have worked on are now flying!

We also showed Auntie Amy the main street in town ... County Hall and the bandstand looked lovely with a light dusting of snow!

One afternoon we took a walk through Lake Park to Roscoe Village ... when I say 'walk' I mean 'cosy snug ride'!! We all enjoyed Roscoe Village ... but Auntie Amy, Mummy & Daddy still can't get their heads round it being considered 'old' ... I guess it's not something I'll appreciate for a while!

While Auntie Amy was here I had to prove that I pull my weight around the house ... unpacking the shopping is just one of my regular tasks (I'll have you know I like to make a scene if can't help out the second we arrive home!!) ... I also like to put my dirty clothes in the laundry bin ... Mummy and Daddy think I'm such a star ... they don't know I'm just lulling them into a false sense of security ... and will later on play it to my advantage!

We also took Auntie Amy up into Amish Country ... making the mandatory stop at Millers Bakery, the yummiest shop EVER!!! I only ever get given a few mouthfuls of whatever goodies are purchased ... and when you see the size of the pastries there, you'll understand just how stingy that is!

As you can see Auntie Amy was enamoured with the different things she found up at Zincks fabrics ... I wasn't quite so sure ... but didn't like to burst her bubble! Mummy and Daddy are a bit worried that she's loosing her unique sense of style ... or just going off at a tangent!!!

Even though it didn't snow loads while Auntie Amy was here ... we made sure we made sure we had at least one crazy afternoon enjoying what was there ... as you can see I LOVED IT!!! ...

... even when I was completely covered!! Auntie Amy and Daddy kept throwing the snow up in the air so it felt like it was snowing ... all I could do was squeal and giggle a lot! ;o)

Christmas according to Little Miss Abigail!!

Hello There!! Mummy and Daddy have been a bit busy lately ... so while they're not looking I'm jumping on the computer and adding my own update!

We had a fun time over Christmas ... Auntie Amy came to visit ... all the way from England ... one night Mummy and Daddy put me to bed and when I woke up the next morning there was an Auntie Amy in the basement ... it was very exciting!!!

I've been told that it's traditional to have Christmas Cake in England ... filled with lots of dried fruits and things ... Mummy and Auntie Amy did a great job at making an alternative fun cake for us this year!! Mummy cooked a chocolate cake in the shape of a giant cupcake and Auntie Amy decorated it like a Christmas tree ... it almost looked too good to eat ... but we did and it was yummy!!

Last year I was a little bit too young to appreciate presents ... even on my first birthday I didn't really get it (I even read all my cards upside-down!!) but this Christmas it finally clicked that unwrapping presents is fun ... and what's inside is even better!!

These jigsaw puzzles are the best ... I think I've just about mastered all 6 of the set now ... much to Mummy and Daddy's dismay ... they thought it might take me a bit longer to work out ... they're relieved that I love doing them over and over again though!

Once I worked out where the presents were coming from there was no stopping me ... I went straight in under there ... unfortunately I wasn't quick enough ... we'd already opened most of what was there ... it did make Mummy, Daddy and Auntie Amy laugh!! Watch out next year!
