Lots to Share!

For some reason, the past while I have not been motivated to put anything up here so now that I am finally going through pictures, I realized there is a lot to share.  Ironically though, some things that I thought I for sure had pictures of, there aren't any. o/well Here goes.  We have had tons of snow the past month or so- at least a foot in our yard at any time.  One Sunday Ryan and I decided to take some winter pictures of Alli- not the smartest idea, but we were both excited about it.  We gathered all these props for this "quick" little photo shoot. Then we had to find the best place to take the pics so we went just a little ways from our house and got the first thing out.  The sun was in her eyes though, and she didn't know what was going on.  I think the pictures (all 5 that we took since it was FREEZING!!) actually turned out pretty good. After that freezing experience we decided Alli needed some snow clothes to go outside in.  We tried on many different outfits and one she was the epitome of the Christmas Story snow suit- she couldn't sit up, rolling over was so hard and crawling was really comical.  Needless to say, we didn't buy that one, but found one less bulky and I think she looks pretty darn cute in them.   She wasn't really sure what to do with the snow-at first she was very curious, but wasn't too happy when her face was cold- can't say that I blame her! 

The next excitement was for dinner one night we had spaghetti with spaghetti squash.  Well, we gave Alli some of the squash and like a smart girl, she loved it.  This picture does not adequately depict her obsession with the stuff.  After she ate a bunch, we gave her the outside with just a little bit left in and she was working so hard to get every little bit out.

Next-Christmas- Alli wasn't too concerned with Christmas except she was excited for some new toys.  When she would "open" a present and see what was excited she would squeal and try to get it from the  box.  She especially loved any toys with small kids on the box and would try extra hard to "talk" to them.  She for sure got way too spoiled, but we are still loving all the new clothes, books, and toys she got.  It was so fun to spend time with so many family members who were in town and Alli loved playing with her cousins! Poor Scott is probably still trying to recover from her craziness around him, but he was a good sport, even when she took his toys!

My pictures keep getting deleted and I am getting annoyed so I will add more and continue this later!
