5 weeks left!

So I only have 5 weeks left! I am so excited but not really ready to have another child! I have everything ready for the most part, but I think I am even more anxious this time since I know what to expect. I am very grateful for another little person to join us. Allie brings so much joy to Zach and I's life and I only hope that this little girl can do the same. Just today we were waiting to meet with some people and Allie was sitting on my lap watching "bella" . She was sining loudly and acting out all the parts! She was so sweet everyone in the room started watching her and smiling at her! She has such a gift to change a gloomy room into a happy place! 

The picture is because my sister and a few others have asked if I am big- so you can see... Yes! (Black does slim a little though!)  I am big and baby girl is always moving her legs up and down. Can't wait to see her!

Sedona Fun

Our AWESOME friends invited us to go with them to Sedona for a few days. We had so much fun getting a break from our children! Diana and I are both expecting so it was nice to have one last little trip before the babies come as well! We played fun games, went on a trolley ride, Hiked to a Vortex, listened to a time share (to get free stuff), and then Diana and I both really enjoyed a 90 min. massage that was mostly for free! Unfortunately, we didn't feel any healing or tingling from the famous Vortex(?) but it was a refreshing hike! Oh, and our other Awesome friends were very appreciated for watching Allie for us! I know she had fun! Thanks again!

Christmas

So I've been a little busy! We all had a Great Christmas though! I hope all of you did as well! Allie was so much fun this year for Christmas. We appreciate everything that we were given and for everything that we were able to give!

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!
