Sesame Street Live

We took Allison to see Elmo for her pre-birthday present. She was a bit taken aback at first. I'm sure she had to be thinking, "What? these things come to life?" She loved every moment afterwards and got pretty hyper throughout. We had to leave shortly after intermission. Maybe a bit too much stimulation plus it was lunchtime.. We were starving.

First time at the Zoo

We finally took Allison to the zoo. She loved it. But I think she's more of a ride girl. The carousel was more fun. She wanted to run around independently and do her own thing every time we came to a new animal which made for some very tired parents. Daddy especially.

Stripes!

Daddy calls this fashionable! Mommy calls it colorblind!

Over the holidays

We had the best time over the holidays with Cousin Mya and Cousin Ben. There was so much running, screaming, eating, pool ball playing, swinging and having the best time being crazy little kids.

Swingset!

Allison was such a good girl this year Grandma and Papa John got her a swing set for Christmas. We swing everyday now and she hangs off the monkey bars. Such a strong girl. I'm hoping she can build those biceps even more now so she can help me carry groceries in.
