One Little Monkey

My little monkey jumping on the bed! Luckily she hasn't fallen off and bumped head!

Every night after her bath. Allison likes to jump on the bed. I know it looks like I'm moving her up and down. But I'm not! All the movement is powered by her tiny legs. No matter how tired she is, she jumps when I put her feet on the bed. And no matter how tired I am, the jumping makes me laugh! Hope you enjoy our little action film!

Christmas Card?

Just wanted to let everyone know you won't be getting a Christmas from us anytime soon. I've been trying to snap the "perfect" shot for the card. But I'm not sure if I've got it yet? I took some of Allison playing with the Christmas lights. Maybe one of them will make the cut? We hope you are enjoying the Holiday season!! I'm trying to soak up every minute of Allison's first Christmas. We started playing Christmas music the week before Thanksgiving. I know the holidays will be gone in a flash!

Turkey Day 2008

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Despite the fact that the turkey didn't turn out right for the 3rd year in a row. Luckily, Allison doesn't eat turkey yet and it's not Jim's favorite anyway. We still had plenty of food and a wonderful day together as a family!!

Before we ate we walked to the Botanical Garden to check out the Christmas display http://www.usbg.gov/whats-happening/Windows-to-Wonderland.cfm . It is beautiful! Tons of poinsettias, decorations and an entire room devoted to miniature trains. Allison and Jim really liked the trains. I was surprised that Jim spent some time looking at the trains. I guess boys, Christmas and trains go together no matter the age. We are so excited that the Christmas season is finally here and we can share it with Allison!
