"Christmas Morning"







Well, Santa came to our house this year on the 21st since we were in Nebraska on the 25th. Allie loved her new tricycle, piggy bank, and Elmo Live. Here are a few pics from that morning.






Being Silly







Allie came across her sunglasses and found it hysterical to put them on.



Why We Live Here











Taking a break from the normal Allie posts to show off some pictures from our four-wheeling trip over Thanksgiving weekend. It was my first time out on the trails since I was six months pregnant with Allie. Way too long! These pictures are from an area to the Southeast of Phoenix. We had a fabulous day with all of our friends. We did have a moment of panic as Piper tried to leap over the opening of an open well and almost ended up going down it. Luckily Brian was paying attention and leapt out to grab her as her back paws were sliding down the well. It definitely had my heart pumping!




Opening her first Christmas Present











This was at Thanksgiving when Allie's grandma and grandpa McLennan and great-grandma McLennan were visiting. Not only does Allie like to play on her zebra, she also thinks it is hilarious to have her mom bounce and spin on it! Sorry no pictures of that!








Phoenix Children's Museum

Oh my goodness, this was SOOO much fun! We can't wait to go back! We may need to become members! Allie had a great time playing in the kitchen area, going "shopping", and walking across the bridge. What a wonderful place.





Running through the museum!






Train Park







There is a wonderful train park in Scottsdale that Allie loves going to visit. We went on this particular day to celebrate Allie's friend Erik's second birthday! We had a blast!



Family Christmas Pics











Most of you have probably already seen these but I decided to post them anyway. These were taken in early December. Yeah, I'm behind.
