For our Christmas celebration with Matt's family we went out to Russell Street BBQ (if you have never been there I would highly recommend it!) and Matt had a container to go which he decided a great place for it would be in my purse. I got a nasty surprise that night as the BBQ pulled pork seeped out of package and into my purse. Yuck. It didn't get on much but the actual purse it self. I was able to get it out but note to husbands, either carry your own leftovers or get your own purse! :) Love you honey!

Christmas Fun
This Christmas we had a lot of family in town and so the Christmas fun started on Christmas eve. I baked three types of goodies all afternoon. Including a new cookie recipe from my friend that I had to make twice since I botched the first batch. My wonderful husband went out and bought me all the ingredients I needed to make it again. :) Then we headed to my grandmas house for dinner. We had a great dinner, watched the kids devour the presents pile, and then all the adults opened white elephant gifts. Allie was super tired when we got home and then decided to wake up at 5:45am Christmas morning.
Allie in her Christmas dress
My cousin was in town with her daughter that is only 2 months younger then Allie. It was so fun to see her get to play with someone her own age. It got pretty rough sometimes as they both just wanted to pull and grab each other (maybe to see if the other one was not really a doll)
My Sweetie
Matt's mom joined us at my Grandma's house
Then as I said we woke up Very early Christmas morning.
We lite the fire, turned on the Christmas music and opened presents!
We think it's hilarious how she knows what to do with a fake bottle but all her life refused real ones.
The hit of the day was this farm toy. She loved that she could feed the cow and turn on and off the light on the other side. It took her a while to figure out she could go through the barnyard door and not have to go around.
Then we headed to my parents to have brunch, and open more presents.
Then late afternoon we headed to Matt's mom. We had a wonderful turkey dinner while Allie took a long nap. It was nice to visit while she was sleeping.
Allie then opened more presents!
and a big Happy Birthday to my sister! I love you and Allie loves your kisses and the toys you always bring over. :) Hope your day was special.

Changing The Baby
The other day Allie was pulling things out of her diaper bag and decided her baby needed a changing. How adorable is this! Her baby does everything she does, she feeds it, puts the tag she has been chewing on in the babies mouth, and now changes her diaper. The other night she was trying to put the baby to bed. I know one day I will go in her room and she will be nursing the baby. :)

I Retract My Statement
This statement no longer applies. Matt was sitting on the edge of the bed this morning putting on his shoes. Allie and I came into the room and I sat down on the end next to him and the bed frame broke! It landed on Matt's heals but thankfully it just stung for a few minutes. Allie's hand could have been under it, or one of our feet. Scary. Granted we have had it for almost 4 years but seriously our bed frame broke! So here is our makeshift "hotel". I told Matt that Allie is going to love this in the morning. The only problem is Matt won't get to sleep in.

Allie's Hat
Lately Allie has loved putting things on her head. Mostly this hat but also burp clothes, bibs, shirts, coats, ect. I think it steams from peekabo but she doesn't always pull it off right away, it can sit there up to five minutes sometimes. :) Isn't this hat so cute.

Oh Christmas Tree!
Once again we had to get a potted baby tree since our apartment won't hold more then that. So instead of going to a tree farm like I wanted we had to go to a lot where they sell them. It was quick and easy. Always a good idea with a one year old.
Here is Allie smelling the tree. :) She later learned the proper sign for tree , it's not a flower Allie.
Unloading the decorations box. Such a big helper.
"I don't want to be Santa!"
"I think we should put these lights on"
Here she is discovering the on and off button for the lights. This is her new favorite toy.
Allie is hanging her favorite ornament, a ballerina.
Posing for our Christmas card. These were some outtakes.
