Allie Making Christmas Candy

Today we made chocolate covered pretzels with sprinkles!! Allie loved this especially the sprinkles!! She was very proud of her finished work!!

Allie's Self Haircut

Well, should I cry like mommy or should I laugh like daddy?????


Well, what would you do??????????


Yep, I think I will laugh like daddy!!!!!!!!!!


This was taken before we went to the hair dresser and had it kinda fixed!!! I guess we can be thankful that it is not the bangs and not to the scalp!!!!


This one shows how short she cut it -- it is now like the 1st 3 pics, cut to her shoulders and we will just have to deal with it till it gets back to one length!!!

Allie was sitting at her table cutting paper and daddy was on the computer and she asked him to change her trash -- it was yucky -- so he did and then decided to look and exclaimed "YOU CUT YOUR HAIR" and she burst into tears and repeated she was "SO SORRY" by the time I found out they were both laughing!!!!!!!!!! We did have to cut about 5 inches!!!

Happy 3rd Birthday

We had Allie's 3rd Birthday Party early in November, since her actual birthday is in December and that is such a busy month we celebrated early with an outside party and bar-b-que! We had beautiful weather and she loved every minute of it!! Since we had the fun jump for the weekend, after Church on Sunday we had a few friends over for lunch and to play and don't forget the football game on tv, I don't think any of the dad's made it outside!!!

Fun at a Wedding

We went to a night wedding a couple of weeks ago. There were only a handful of children there. Allie had a blast playing with Janna who was "The Major Princess", one other princess and of course you need a prince and one other little boy. The kids had a blast dancing and never left the dance floor. According to Janna it was a "Princess Party" according to Allie it was Janna's Princess Party and we never even sang "Happy to You"!!!!!!!!!! She asked for almost a week when do we get to go and sing happy to you to Janna!!!!!!
