Santa Came!






I was expecting Allyson to run down stairs to see the presents but she wanted to put her pretty dress on first. Then the reaction was like I knew the bike would be here, Santa told me. Gammie, Opa, and Papa came and we had a nice lunch. (missed you Nana). We all loved our presents, and had a nice day! Can't believe it is over so fast.

Christmas Cookies!


Grandma, Grandpa Rounds and Chrissy (exchange student from Germany) brought lots of stuff to make yummy cookies. Chrissy used her German recipes for some and we made sugar cookies and gingerbread men. We all decorated some! Thanks Grandma and Chrissy. I froze some so we will enjoy them again on Christmas day.

Winter Wonderland


This was our second year driving around looking at the lights at the Portland Racetrack. The girls sat in the back with Chrissy and I. Allyson loved it yet again but Abi had more fun walking around the van and playing in my purse. My favorite part was the free peppermint hot chocolate from Starbucks!

Santa

Allyson did great this year telling Santa she wants a princess bike and a wand! When we got home she asked if it was here yet. (We just watched polar express and the boy gets back to his house and the present was already there.) But catch a smile? Not a chance! At least they weren't screaming!

catch a snowflake


The girls ran outside to catch the first snowflakes. It was pretty funny. I don't think Abi really got the point besides standing outside in the cold and sticking your tongue out! The snow didn't stick but Allyson is prepared with hats, gloves, etc. for that snowman.

Thanksgiving


Here are some more pictures of our Thanksgiving. We all had a good time. Allyson loved continuing the tradition of decorating a gingerbread house to start off the christmas season too. Thanks Michelle for setting that up for her.

Turkey Day!



It's been a long time since we had our family all together. We had a good time and good food!! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving too!

Trains

One of the girls favorite things to do at Gammie and Opa's house is to go in Opa's train room and check out all his "toys".

The boys on vacation?

So this is how the boys spent their time on Turkey Day. Moving my parents spa, the building it goes in (the word for it slipped my mind), and building a really nice deck on the playhouse for the girls. The old one was too narrow. I will take a picture of it next time. It was freezing outside! So the girls were inside baking. I took the video thru the window.

TRICK-OR-TREAT

Abi and Ally so excited to go Trick-or-treating!
Abi always stepped back and let sister ring the bell. Abi can't say trick-or-treat but she did a good job grabbing the candy and saying "thankooo"

This was the first year we all got to go trick-or-treating together!
Abi was just too cute. Everyone loved her! "pleeese, thankooo, byeee!"
