Santa, I've been an angel all year!

Santa took a break from his busy work schedule up in the N.Pole to pay a visit to the kiddoes at school! Allison crawled over to Santy and didn't cry! ... she then asked for a pony, a red lunchbox and 2 front teeth.

O Christmas Tree O Christmas Tree....

Way Down Yonder

Here we are playing our pretend game I like to call, "Way Down Yonder". After dinner and before baths we get up on the chair and look down yonder. We point at everything in front of us and we watch out for the sea monsters below us, (aka suki and ninja foraging for scraps along the valleys).

We also pretend the queen is in her castle ruling the land and slaying the dragons! The possibilities are endless.

"Way down yonder in New Orleans
In the land of dreamy scenes
There's a garden of Eden
That's what I mean,
Creole babies with flashing eyes
Softly whisper with tender sighs— Stop!
Oh! won't you give your lady fair a little smile, Stop!
You bet your life you'll linger there— a little while
There is heaven right here on earth
With those beautiful queens,
Way down yonder in New Orleans"

SNOW DAY!!

It snowed in Houston today and we had a lot of fun playing indoors. We watched the snow come down, stood outside and felt snowflakes fall on our faces. Daddy then came home and made a snowball which Allison didn't like so much......... Maybe next year she'll actually get to play IN it....if it snows.

Who needs a swiffer when you've got an Allison

Happy 9 Months

Good Morning, Good Morning sleepyhead!

Ghostly Tootsies

Allison brought home her first arts and crafts from school today. Needless to say this is now "Refrigerator Material".

Happy 8 Months!

Fun at the Renaissance Festival

Pappi visited us recently. He cooked great home meals and spent quality time with Allison. We took him to the Renaissance Festival where random people would come up to us to talk to Allison and sometimes want to touch her as if she was a good luck doll. This seems to happen a lot lately.

Love you Daddy!

Listen, do you wanna know a secret? Do you promise not to tell, whoawhoawhoa!
