Merry Christmas

It was so much fun to watch Allie this year on Christmas morning.   She was so excited to see that Santa had come and brought the two things she actually asked for 1) A bed for her baby 2) A book called Silly Sally.  Allie loved the fact that Santa ate her cookies and the milk was gone out of her pink cup.  Blake had asked Allie what cup she wanted to leave out for Santa.  Allie told Blake her pink cup.  She must have really wanted to impress Santa, because the pink cup is her absolute favorite.  I can't wait for the years to come.

Allie loved unwrapping the gifts.  We really could have stopped with the first gift. Allie just kept wanting to play with everything and we kept making her go back to unwrap more

There is a story behind this cradle. It was a joint effort between Santa, dad, and mom to get this cradle made.  The cradle was actually mine when I was little.  My grandpa made it years and years ago when I was little but it was in shambles.  It needed wood glued back together, sanded, and repainted.  The white that is seen is actually the primer.  We ran out of primer at 2 am on Christmas morning...I know procrastinators.  Well, what you see is what you get, a cradle with primer.

Allie also kept asking for a new baby.  Honestly how many babies can one little girl have.  We weren't going to get her one, so I thought she might be a little disappointed.  Well GG came to the rescue.  She sent a baby to Allie for Christmas, so it couldn't have gotten much better

We got Allie a vacuum too.  She went right to work cleaning.  Can you tell she has seen me vacuum a few to many times.  Scary!  She got right down on her hands and knees and started on the baseboards

Merry Christmas!!!
