Santa

This is Allie's first year to start understanding santa, and well, at least she didn't cry! I brought her over to santa and we watched the kids sit on his lap and I softly explained to Allie that Santa is so nice, and he gives toys to kids and big hugs. She would smile and point and say "yea, dat hantah! " When I tried to have her go closer though she wanted me to hold her. So I gave her to one of her babysitters who was helping santa and watched,  because I really didn't care if she sat with him this year or not, I just wanted her to be happy! When she was least expecting it her babysitter Hailey dropped her on his lap! Allie was so confused and shocked!  She immediately tried to get away from him! But I am happy she didn't cry! Immediately following this, we left and she continued to talk abt. Santa for the next two hours! 

My princess

Allie just started loving the Disney princesses Cinderella (Bella), Sleeping beauty (booty), and Ariel (Erel)! She wants to watch them 3 times a day! Her favorite is Bella though, and while watching Cinderella dance with "daddy" and singing "So this is Love" she ran back to her room and grabbed her play dress and started dancing and singing! So cute! This is why I love little girls!

Thanksgiving


We all had so much fun visiting Zach's family in Utah for Thanksgiving! We all hung out at the church building there! Zach's cousins had some fun projects for all the kids to do and everyone wrote what they were thankful for on a large turkey feather and then posted it on the board! Allie chose the spot for hers ( the feather a foot below the turkey). She was really in her element crafting with the other kids and kissing the babies! Later, Gail, Kyla, The Cox's, and us all went to see the Salt Lake Temple lights turn on. It was cold, but fun!

E-I-E-I-0 !


So Allie went into our closet the other day and found Zach's cowboy hat. She put it on and said, "E-i-E-i-o!" (snort, snort) It was so funny I had to take a pic. of her! I was surprised she knew generally what it was!  She is in her famous 2yr. old stripping phase, so of course the pants are off, and she loves mom's cheap flip-flops! All together a great crazy combo that just fits Allie!
