Christmas is Here!!!

I LOVE this time of year. It makes me so incredibly happy to just listen to Christmas music (I try to year round, but I get in trouble). Tonight we met our friends (Chris, Sarah and their little girl Elizabeth) downtown Greenville. We had dinner and then walked outside to watch the Christmas parade. It was so "small town" feeling, with the local high school marching bands, churches, radio station floats, etc... It was so much fun. Allie loved watching everything from Stephen's shoulders. I kept watching her and she was clapping, bouncing, and waving. Good times. Also, last night we decorated our Christmas tree. It was a lot of fun. Allie tried her best to help, but of course, she mainly got in the way. She understood to put the ornaments on the tree...but then she wanted to take them off again. Notice the pic ofher helping string the lights....she did have on panties before she had a potty accident.

Allie has discovered her imagination. She started this game a few weeks ago...and I think it is too cute. She has this imaginary peice of fuzz or something that she calls a "bee"....and she pulls the bee from underneath her chin. Then she'll pretend like she throws it to you, and you have to catch it and either throw it back, put it on your nose, blow it in the air, eat it, throw it out the window of the car, etc....She could play with "the bee" for hours.
