Princess Abigail

Christmas Eve: waiting for Grandma and Grandpa to pick us up. Twisty pigtails, flowy dress, and Christmas socks - very stylish.

This year for Christmas, Abigail wanted to be 16. It seems like kids want to grow up so fast - and then as adults, we want to stay young.

So when Abigail realized that she wasn't getting make-up and high heels for Christmas, she asked for a kitten. She was disappointed when she found out she couldn't have that either. We spent many years not being able to have Marcy, Nathan and the kids over for longer than 5 minutes. Their allergies are severe, so anywhere that cats live, they can't be. So unless there is some miracle breakthrough with medical technology, it'll be awhile before we can get a cat.
