We had a very low key Christmas this year, which was exactly what we needed. We started Christmas morning with presents. Allison & I actually had quite a few thanks to my family which mailed packages. The picture above is one of Allison's favorite presents, it is currently living on her dresser and she calls it 'MY picture.' Apparently this girl likes pictures (particularly when she is in them!).
As soon as present opening was done we headed out to church. Allison wore a super cute little outfit, courtesy of Nana.
When we made it home it was time for the real playing to begin. Mark & Allison put her new Duplo Lego train set together. Mark discovered, much to his dismay, the play table was not big enough for the deluxe set which he determined Allison 'needed.' It has now taken over my dining room table. Allison enjoyed sending her baking accessories around on the train tracks.
We enjoyed a Christmas brunch - french toast. I had planned to make cinnamon rolls but it just didn't happen this year. Mark had a lot of music practices at church and a flooring job he was wrapping up so our time getting ready for Christmas was very limited. We decided french toast was easy (and yummy). Perhaps cinnamon rolls will come out for New Year's.
Both mark & I had the 26th off as well as an observed holiday. Mark took a quick run up to Fry's first thing in the morning to buy some computer parts. He spend the day playing with the train and building a new computer. I'm now finally up and running on the new computer, whew! Allison tagged along and 'helped' as much as she could.
And I did manage to get a picture of our tree in the background. I want to try for one more before we take it down but for now this is one of my favorite Christmas pictures.
The weather around here has been particularly dry and we finally got out do enjoy it! Allison asked for a bike ride. We assumed she wanted to ride her little bike but when we got in the garage she insisted on a Chariot ride so we all got on our bikes and went for a ride. Which allowed for plenty of tire pumping, much to Allison's delight.
And we ended the 'holiday' with a dress fitting. Allison is going to be a flower girl in Mr. Brent's wedding come March and we tried on her dress. We put Cinderella on the t.v. to distract Allison during the fitting and I think she got a little too into the dress fitting. She did not want to take the dress off! Now all I have to do is find some fabulous red shoes to go with the dress! We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas as well.
