Christmas Day 2011

Christmas Morning....is there anything better than that excitement, wide-eyed, squeal of your kiddo on Christmas morning...no, I think not :) Alison woke at 3am wondering if Santa had been to our house and I told her it was still very much in the middle of the night and we should try and close our eyes again....she slept until 6:10 and we actually got out of bed at 6:30!

Santa brought this fun Hello Kitty shirt in her stocking
and it matched his other gift perfectly....Two goldfish! We now have "pets" in our home. Alison is ecstatic and loves Goldie and Scott very much! She's a very responsible pet owner, feeds them morning and night and talks to them!
Daddy was excited to get this BSU wall decor for his office!
Both sets of Grandparents and Great Meme came later in the afternoon to spend time with us and enjoy Christmas dinner. We are VERY blessed that they are always willing to travel to our house so Alison can enjoy Christmas at her house, in her pajamas, with her new toys, ALL day long :)
This might be the most beloved gift of Christmas 2011....this is her paint filly from American Girl that Meme and Papa got her. She loves it dearly and has named her Holly!
We were blessed beyond words this holiday season!
