Allison's Birthday Party!

Allison's first birthday party was so much fun. We didn't go all out like we did for Emily's - but hey, she's the second child and I'm pregnant. Family and close friends enjoyed a fun afternoon. Allison was very dainty in eating HER cake; no bath needed!! I can't believe she is already one - where does the time go??
Friends and family.
"ONE!!"

LOVE this picture!!
Not to sure why everyone is staring at her....

CAKE!

The birthday girl!!
Emily enjoyed the cake too.

It's A...

...BOY!! Just in case you didn't know already! We are beyond excited and we won't know what to do once he gets here!
(I got this beautiful arrangement from my in-laws when we told them THE news)

Emily's School Christmas Party

This is Emily's CDO Christmas Party. They all had a blast!

Happy 1st Birthday Allison!!

We had a "virtual" birthday party tonight for Allison. Daddy is out of town, so we got some cupcakes and sang Happy Birthday via webcam. Nana took us to dinner for her birthday and the girls had a blast. Allison really enjoyed her cupcake.....guess we'll know what to expect when we have her birthday party!! I have some more pictures on the other camera to download as well, so stay tuned....

The girl of many hats.

Allison wasn't a big fan of her birthday hats.

especially this one....
and this one...

CUPCAKES!!

Emily loved her green cupcake.....and a few goldfish too!!

New Years 2009 - Destin, FL

We went to Destin over New Years and the weather was great. Everyone had fun playing in the sand and flying kites. Uncle Jonathan and Aunt Corrie stayed with us a few nights. The girls had a blast with them and Mark and I enjoyed all the babysitting!! This might have to be a yearly event!! I can't get some of the pictures downloaded on blogger, but I'll keep trying. Hope everyone has a wonderful year!!
