Oh wow, we had a great Christmas this year! The festivities started out with our little family relaxing all day on Christmas Eve. We stayed home and played and prepped and cooked. Dave put together a bike for Allison while she was napping. As he was putting it together I asked him, "So do you feel like a Dad?" and he replied, "Yeah, this is like a right of passage" :) We made our traditional Christmas Eve soup, this year we chose chicken tortilla soup and ate it with garlic bread and sparkling cider. While we were eating dinner Santa made an early stop at our house! We all got a little spoiled this year. Later in the evening we went over to my parents house to open our elf gifts. We all got cute new jammies! Then we went and slept at Dave's parents house. 
We got up bright and early to see if Santa had made it to the Phillips and sure enough he did! It is mad chaos opening gifts over there. Everyone tears open their gift all at the same time. So I have no idea what anyone else got...bummer. It is fun to watch though. Thank you everyone and Santa! We love everything. Allison favorite gift was a baby with a stroller! She loves that baby doll. After presents we ate delicious waffles and Allison proceeded to wash Grandma's windows and her new doll. She was soaking wet after but she was having the time of her life!
After a clothes change into Alli's dry elf p.j.'s we went over to the Spongberg's. Is Allison not the cutest little Christmas elf ever? She loved looking at all the pretty presents and was pretending to take pictures of everyone. Now where did she learn that....not from me of course ;) She was not too interested in actually opening the presents but we had a great time opening our presents and again we were too spoiled. Thank you!! Allison loves all her new books, clothes, and toys! We love our new clothes and toys too! That afternoon we had a smorgasbord and in the evening we went back to the Phillips for a Christmas dinner feast. It was yummy!!!
On New Years Eve we had a gathering at my mom and dad's. It is always so fun to be with our cousins and friends. We ate, talked, played games and rang in the new year! Yea! Allison was a champion and stayed up the WHOLE time. We are talking like 1am! Holy cow, she amazes me.

Oh my, oh my! Allison got her first New Years Eve kiss from Quintin! It was so cute, he has a little crush on her. I can't blame him, she is a cutie pie! Our friends, Tyler and Aubree, are great parents, he is the sweetest little boy. Our kiddos play so well together. Happy New Year everyone! We hope that 2010 will be a year of growth, health and happiness for you and yours.
