I had to steal one of your pic from your blog - we didn't have any of Natalie from this year! :)
p.s.s I'm now only doing one picture for the birthday post.... just wanted everyone to know! :)

It's the Holiday Season....

Allie is now a "big girl"-- wearing big girl panties!! :) YAY! Didn't think this day would ever come! :) Here she is showing you the treats she got after she mastered going poo on the pottie! :) She went with daddy (he had promised to get her anything she wanted) to the store and got to pick out two treats... a push pop and some kind of marshmallow thing. :) Kids are so easy to please! :)
Already learning how to sit up... no, it's just his fat that is keeping him from falling! :)

He looks so good in blue - just like his daddy! :)
Can you say CHUBBY!! :) Adam had this 2 month Dr.'s appt. today and he is now 13 lbs. and 9 oz. !!! WOW, not bad for 2 months old! :)

Play time!
Helping mommy with Aunt Erin's famous chocolate chunk cookies. Yummy!
Chris and Allie like the batter more then the cookies, so they were helping themselves to some batter when I wasn't looking! :) Allie went and stole the bowl off the counter and was diggin' in!! :)
Such a sweet sleeper!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY G-DAD!!

Tree Time and My 29th Birthday!

Daddy and Allie looking for the perfect Christmas tree!

Allie had a blast running around through all the Christmas trees! =}

My men! :)
Getting the tree ready to go inside - maybe I should take all my fall stuff down before we start with the Christmas things! :p
We of course got the tree in Chris' truck, so we needed to take the car seats out after we got home. :) Allie thought it was quite funny being carried out of the truck in her seat! :)

The boys all tuckered out after a hard night of picking out the tree! :)
Take another look.... that isn't one of Allie's dolls! =)
Helping with the ribbon for the tree! :)
Allie helping decorate the tree by lining up the ornaments.
