Merry Christmas morning!

David must have been a good little boy this year because Santa came to see him and left him a lot of fun toys! His big gift from Santa was a train table - he loves playing with his choo choos. He also got a monster truck, some Matchbox cars in his stocking, clothes, bath towels, and other fun surprises. He liked opening his gifts. We made a train cake and decorated it, which was fun. We also took a Christmas walk and looked at lights and decorations. David keeps pulling ornaments off the tree and bringing them to us! Especially the choo choos, the bike ("bi"), the picture of himself, and the dog ornaments. He played a lot with his train table! Even Chipper approves! Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas Morgan Family!

We had fun celebrating Christmas Eve at the Morgans's house. We started off the afternoon with oysters roasted by Anna, which were great! We enjoyed some bloody mary's and beer, and then opened gifts. David had fun opening his gifts! He got train sets, cars, books, clothes, a homemade hat that matches mommy's, and a tricycle with trailer that Mark made for when he's a little bigger! David had a lot of fun playing with his toys (and Jennifer and Jake did too!). We had shrimp and grits for dinner, with salad, and peanut butter balls for dessert. It was very good. The rest of us got a lot of nice gifts also - clothes, kitchenware, and more. It was a great night!

Merry Christmas Allen Family!

Our Christmas celebration began with a visit from K and Mike to see some of David's trains on the pool table. (David was getting most of his trains and his new train table on Christmas morning, but he happily obliged in showing off some of his accessories that we'd already set up!) We went over to my parents later that afternoon and played some basketball outside. David likes the deer or "dee." We also played inside and played some horse on David's goal, and looked at some books. We had some great beef tenderloin for dinner, sides, pie, and beer, and sausage balls! We had a lot of fun opening gifts too! David got a train set, basketball goal, balls, books, toy phone, and clothes. He had a lot of fun playing with his toys! The rest of us got very nice gifts also, clothes, jewelry, ladder, and more. We had a lot of fun!

Christmas Day!

We had fun on Christmas Day at the Allen household! Took a Christmas walk and watched parts of Christmas Vacation and A Christmas Story. Played with David on his mat. Had good roast beef, salad, mac, potatoes, apples, and pumpkin custard. Opened gifts and got nice things - David got a dog outfit, johnny jump up, hat, teether toys, seahorse toy, flash cards, and more! We got matching red tailgate jackets, sweaters, first Christmas ornament, stroller muff, and Jake got fishing rod, net, and supplies. Snow started falling that evening!

Merry Christmas!

Merry first Christmas, David!

Christmas Is Coming!

We are excited about David's first Christmas! We got the tree up and hung the stockings. We have the lighted reindeer outside and the lights in our windows. We posed for some Christmas pictures, which were more difficult than we anticipated to get everyone looking good! David loves looking at the Christmas tree lights and decorations. He likes to grab at the ornaments with bells on them.
