The week before Christmas we were able to have Andrew back in WI!!!! It was pure excitement in our house for his arrival - all of us were looking forward to spending a few days with him around the holidays!!!
My parents brought Andrew to a basketball game one night, I knew about it but Abigail did not. We didn't know how she would react since he hasn't seen him in a few months. Well, she about lost it and screamed ANDREW and ran right up to him and gave him a big squeeze. It was so great to see that! I am not sure how much of the game Andrew got to watch, but Abigail kept him busy with a trip to the concession stand and then workbooks so that he could brush up on his math skills!!
I was able to bring Andrew along while I picked her up on day from school. It was like he was a celebrity at that school - the teachers and even the night custodian knew who he was! Abigail had been talking to EVERYONE about Andrew coming into town! She was able to show him around the school and talk to him about her life as a kindergartner.
The rest of the week was semi-normal with school and work. When the weekend came around - we had Andrew spend the night per Abigail's request. She sure loves to play with her toys with him and keep him busy.
We celebrated Christmas with Andrew and my parents on Christmas Eve since he was flying back to Seattle on Christmas Day. It was nice to have him around and fun to give him the creative gifts that we had for him. Abigail was so attached to him the whole day - helping him unwrap presents and watching a movie with him.
It was sad to see him go since we won't see him until the summer when we go to Seattle. The time spend with him was just wonderful and to have it happen around the holidays made the season even better than it already was! To see Andrew and Abigail together laughing and playing is such a wonderful sight for this mom!!!
Here are some pictures that I was able to capture from that week.....Enjoy!
