Santa!!

Allyson went to visit Santa again this year.  She had quite a list of questions she wanted to find answers for: "Where do you keep your reindeer?" "Where do you put the presents?" "How do you get in the house?" "How do you get back out?"  This Christmas has been one filled with great magic and wonder!!

Oh, Simon!!

"You got that, right?"

Double checking

Enjoy!

Merry Christmas everyone!!

Time at the beach

We decided to take a few days before Christmas and head to the coast. We only have a few days to spare but it was worth it! We have seen deer, and even managed to finish up our shopping. The day today was BEAUTIFUL! We spent over an hour outside so Allyson could play in the sand. We also found time to go swimming! With the clear skies tonight, we went outside to see the stars. While our eyes were focused upwards, Allyson said, "I see a raccoon!". We quickly moved our attention to the ground below us to see 2 good sized raccoons. We managed to make it inside without them joining us. Allyson watched them through the door for a long time.

Pictures to come when we get home.

Bet You Haven't Seen This Before!!

After cleaning up from dinner, Dave and I were each doing different things in the house.  Allyson HAD been playing.  This is what we came in to find...
