My sister started calling me Nelle (only pronounced Nell-a) in college. So…yes…in case you haven’t already figured it out, it is my name spelled backwards. I know, silly, right?!

I am so grateful Abby gets to experience this joyous and memorable tradition with us! Nothing is sweeter then listening to Grandpa read the passage of Christ's birth and truly get to feel the meaning of Christmas! And there was NO fighting over who got to lay baby Jesus in his manger, Abby did a beautiful job with the "bebe".<br />Merry Christmas everyone!<br /></div><br />toryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00361242900860361701noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7585344137009186742.post-69919868189825801152010-04-02T21:04:00.003-05:002010-06-28T21:09:23.879-05:00Early Christmas!!12/21/09<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijtxka1y9IAm6QKXJvnEGwn1vlcjsTUYQyg9mQ8LzTV8UZNJvvoiVAvhXU4Ijs2rJahtk2LNTDaHlLRGqOLBjglxN5DZKV8P9qSNITnr9FVG3kzwNEQXX-vzBEJsVl1645y1xYo7G99Dk/s1600/12dec3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijtxka1y9IAm6QKXJvnEGwn1vlcjsTUYQyg9mQ8LzTV8UZNJvvoiVAvhXU4Ijs2rJahtk2LNTDaHlLRGqOLBjglxN5DZKV8P9qSNITnr9FVG3kzwNEQXX-vzBEJsVl1645y1xYo7G99Dk/s400/12dec3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455727415418978658" border="0"></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGJDngb62HINdU2VIypQOhun4oW6O-KcwTR2AgsyUcfjyJNACBTIRirh4P8e2IUbJMbtEGi9QDEtEjrWl5SlngX1jKR6oxqfdj7ng1AApC8ZBjtbSy3LeB6akwfPRVFAORn5iHsrCsjKY/s1600/12dec4.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGJDngb62HINdU2VIypQOhun4oW6O-KcwTR2AgsyUcfjyJNACBTIRirh4P8e2IUbJMbtEGi9QDEtEjrWl5SlngX1jKR6oxqfdj7ng1AApC8ZBjtbSy3LeB6akwfPRVFAORn5iHsrCsjKY/s400/12dec4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455727434622511634" border="0"></a>We knew we wouldn't be home on Christmas morning, so Abby got to open her big gift early! Abby is such a little artist and has enjoyed coloring since she could hold a crayon! This was such a perfect gift and we certainly got the full $10 we paid for it! Many, many hours of fun, laughter and coloring!<br />Oh you can also notice Abby's new-doo in the pictures! We went in for a trim but the lady ended up chopping much more off!
