The Pictureless Post

So, this is just to document what occurred recently. Two things. Abigail attended her first Mavs game (in a suite) and also received her first phone call from Santa. I didn't have my camera to caputre the moment so these words will have to do. However, the events are engrained in my memory forever. *smile*

BASKETBALL GAME IN A SUITE...
We were invited to attend the Mavs vs Jazz game one Saturday night earlier this month from folks that Matt works with. We were in a suite with nice platinum parking at the door which was nice because it was really cold that night. Anyway, Abigail had one of those Saturdays where she napped about 1 hour only and we had been out and about ALL day. We weren't sure what we were in for with a LATE night ahead of us but there we went.

She snoozed some in the car on the way which was good. When we got there she seemed very refreshed and well had to go to the potty immediately (it was about a 45 minute drive there!). We went up to the suite and said hi to everyone. It was pretty loud in there and she doesn't really like LOUD places . Then, the DESSERT CART came by. That changed everything. They basically said we could have anything we wanted and as much as we wanted. Music to a pregnant woman's ears and a toddler's tummy! Our eyes couldn't believe the amazing desserts we were seeing. So, we did as they said. We took what we wanted and as much as we wanted. Mind you, this was already passed Abigail's bedtime so to stay up late and have SWEETS was a major treat. She was in heaven, and so was I. She gobbled up stuff and just then decided loud noises weren't all that bad and just paraded around the suite and cheered for the Mavs and hugged everyone! The next day delivered a 3.5 hour nap. She was wiped and so was I, but we had a GREAT time!!

Santa Calls Mommy's Cell Phone

We were at Wal-Mart one day and well, Abigail was acting up here and there just like a toddler can when out shopping. We were buying some toys for our "adopt-a-family" and she wanted my cell phone and was pretending to have a conversation with someone as we walked around the store. I told Daddy secretly to go and call my cell phone and pretend he's Santa while she was holding it.

The phone rang and she quickly brought it to me and said, "mommy your cell phone is ringing." I looked at it and told her that it was Santa calling. "Do you want to talk to him," I asked and she quickly said YES!

Her facial expression was perhaps one of the most amazing things I've seen! She was STUNNED. She very politely answered whatever questions he was asking her. After her quick conversation, she gave me the phone and said, "that was Santa." She had the biggest smile on her face and as soon as she saw daddy, she told him all about it.
