Allie's 1st Christmas

While in Texas, we celebrated Allie's 1st Christmas. Being that she is so young, we didn't go overboard on her. We left that up to the grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends and boy did they come through. Allie received TONS of presents! I tried to take pictures of the gifts as we were opening them but Allie had had enough and had a mini-meltdown so the picture taking ceased. Thank you to all of you who spoiled her rotten on Christmas. We love all of the gifts and can't wait for her to wear the outfits and play with the toys.

Nick and I call Allie our little Alligator so we searched high and low until we found a stuffed alligator for her to play with as she gets older. We also got her a sweater and a small toy but we were most excited about the alligator.

Aunt Kelsey and Uncle Marshall ordered this blanket for Allie with her name and birth date on it. You can see the shear excitement on Allie's face when I opened it! It is beautiful and looks fantastic in her room! What a great keepsake for her.

Aunt Victoria and Uncle Chris picked out this adorable hat for her. There is also a sweater and mittens to match! I tried to take the picture during the mini-meltdown so it's not very good (and I can't figure out why it won't upload in the correct direction) but she's worn it several times since we've been home and she really does love it!

We hope you and your families had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
