Christmas 2006 (take 2)

Allison had her first white Christmas at Tahoe and it was beautiful. She learned how to walk and then later run with her new walker great grandma gave her.

This was Allison's first x-mas in Tahoe. She rocked out on her rockin pink unicorn and loved all her new toys.

Ally went on walks and hikes with her family but did not like the cold very much!!!

Christmas 2006 (take 1)

Allison had FIVE Christmas celebrations this year and each were very very special. This was a wonderful Christmas and we had so much family to spend it with.

Grandpa Matt and Megan gave Allison a cool piano that she rocks out with. We love it when she uses her feet to play some new tunes.

This was our little "charlie brown tree." It was beautiful and fit in our small apartment. We obviously had more gifts than tree!!!!

How can you resist this face??!!

Just Swingin Around - 9 months

Allison really likes to swing and show off her new teeth... we kinda think she looks like a vampire

Thanksgiving in the Bahamas

This was our first airplane trip with Allison overseas. She LOVED flying and hopped around the plane to greet everyone the entire way.

The little jumper plane was scary for mommy but Allison was really excited.

There were so many beautiful hotels by the sea... kinda like a tropical Disneyland by the ocean.

"Look mommy, I CAN FLY!!!"

This pool was awesome because it had little rivers, a bar, water slides and little tiny hot tub caves.

This was Allison first time swimming in the Ocean and it was very warm. (unlike our Pacific beaches)

One park had underwater caves that lead to the sea. Allison liked the echo factor in the caves.

Some of the paths to the beach were kinda skeetchy!!! Very "Indiana Jones" rickety old bridges that wobbled!!!

Allison was very lucky to have breakfast on the beach every morning with this view.

This was our "car" that Allison braved driving along with her parents. She could not understand why everyone was driving on the wrong side of the road?

We had so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving and ate our special dinner at a wonderful Chinese restaurant but had duck instead of turkey.
