Christmas Tree and Mum-Mum's Strawberry Jam



Mom's yummy Strawberry Jam. Chris and Allie just LOVE it!
When Allie and I were home this summer my mom made Chris some Strawberry Jam. Allie takes after Chris in the jam department, she LOVES it and doesn't even bother eating her roll. :)
SO YUMMY!! Thanks Mom!

Our weekend away!

I forgot to post these pictures earlier... Chris and I went to a wedding a few weekends ago. It was our first time leaving Allie over night and the first time we have done anything (just the two of us) since we've been in the Military. Chris was part of the sword detail for the wedding, but I only got a few good pictures. :-( Funny smile :)


Nathan Rollins, Chris and Earl Roberts... All looking very handsome!! ;-)
This is Joey Roberts, son of Earl and Gail - Check out his bib... trying to look like his daddy. :)
This is the only good one I got of Chris outside. We all had sparklers for when the Bride and Groom came out and the rest of my pics are all smokey looking. :(

Fun with Daddy!

Here are some pictures of Allie and Chris having some fun with a trash can... who needs toys? ;)

I'm Flying!!!

Anyone seen Allie??
So, this is what happens when you sit in a trash can too long... little butts can get stuck too. ;)
Allie is getting some free rides across the living room... Doesn't look like she is having that much fun. ;)
Love that SMILE!!

Turkey Day Continued...



It smells sooo good I can almost taste it!!! Oh, that's the scraps we've been steeling behind Michelle's back.










Everything went really well and it even tasted better than we could have imagined. Look out Linda and Vicki, Michelle is quite the up and coming Chef!!! Wished we could have been with you all today. Happy Thanksgiving from the Yoders!! :)

"HAPPY TURKEY DAY!"

It's Thanksgiving Day morning and we enjoy our breakfast with some of Allie's favorite morning cartoons.
Mommy and Allison warm up next to the fire.


Daddy and Allie snuggle and watch some of the "Boring!" Macy's T-Day Parade.

Time to start the Turkey!!!!Toll House Cookie Pie. Just what the Doctor ordered!! Now the house aroma is really starting to make my mouth water!!!
Mom couldn't wait to start setting her table. I'm sure as the day progresses it will become increasingly cluttered, but that is most definitely a good thing!!!

"Hangin' Out Around The House"

Allie is "helping" Dad bring in the trash can.
She likes to spy on Mom when she is working in the kitchen.Never at a loss for energy. Good thing Dad is around to help keep her occupied.
Dad thinks it is still too early to get up and face the day.

Maybe a sweet little kiss will change his mind! As you can see, Allie seems to be warming up to Daddy a whole lot better now that she is used to him being around.
