Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

Decorating the Christmas tree...

Her upper lip is all red and sore from an endless runny nose. Winter is a bad time of year for her health wise. She has been sick off and on since before Thanksgiving.


I was so happy when I found this beautiful Christmas dress for Allary. And, just to add to the cuteness, it came with a matching dress for a doll. Here are Allary and Tinkerbell showing off their dresses.


I was going to use this for our Christmas card, but decided on a family shot instead. I still love this picture though.

Thanksgiving

The further behind I get, the harder it is to get around to catching up.
Here are my pictures from Thanksgiving. Jason was able to take a whole week off work, which was awesome because we had seen so little of him through October and November. We went to my mom and dad's house along with Trisha and her family and Kevin and his family. It was a big group and we really had a lot of fun.



I had my mom snap some family pictures for us on the back deck. For some reason, Allary was not in the mood to smile.

I know, I know...

... it's been awhile since I posted anything. I am just doing my best to keep up with life right now. We were out of town for Thanksgiving and again for a big family Christmas party on Jason's side and I've just been running around finishing up Christmas shopping, basic errands, trying to get my Christmas letter and cards ready to send, working on my family DVD I make every year, and trying to update our adoption info for the new itsaboutlove.org profile website they are building (the paperwork never ends!!!). This month and last month were supposed to be slower at work for Jason, but it is proving to not be so. He is still working late nights and weekends. Ugh! It is snowing like crazy here today. I almost could not even make it up the hill at the end of our road to get out and do the things I had to do today.
Anyway, I will post some pictures and more updates later.
