SNOW much fun!

The Bishop's LOVE the snow...we are having a great time in all this weather! We have a great church down the road that has several hills. As you can tell by the pics, we stay until nearly dark! Settin' up, ready to go!

Little snow bunnies

My loves :)


Clearly Ali has the better deal here....yes, I'm struggling...it was a steep hill!

A first.....

Can you guess what we did for the first time with Alison???

Our first movie....
She looks thrilled....drink, popcorn, and a tootsie roll!!!! and yes, this was lunch :)
We had an amazing time. She seemed to love it! and yes we are wearing pink pants and red socks...she said the red socks added a splash of color?! :)

Christmas at the Wagoner's

We headed home on Sat. (the 26th) morning for a fun-filled day at my parents. We munched on goodies all afternoon, played a riveting Scrabble game where Chris and I beat the Scrabble queen (aka my Mom), enjoyed gift giving, and ate a wonderful feast prepared by my brother. Basically anytime Alison can get together with her cousins and play all day, I think it is wonderful. I love to see them bond and form relationships. We had an awesome Christmas with you all.....I love ya !!!

The girls with my Grandma who is called Great Meme or Meme BB

The girls with my parents Meme and Papa

These two sweet ladies just steal my heart....they did so good being patient during presents!

Here is our big gift from Meme and Papa......a Snow White dress, crown, and wand...isn't it just darling! I know her face looks like extreme pain but really....she loves it and we are sooo excited to wear it to WDW in just 3 months :)

and these amazing beauties are also from Meme and Papa...hello nails???!!!!

Christmas Day

We had a wonderful relaxing Christmas Day at home. I received the best gift of all and didn't have to go to work that night. It took us 4 hours to open all our gifts....between stopping to eat breakfast, playing with everything we opened, and just generally taking our time, we had a wonderful time. Alison was super fun and excited by everything. We are soooo blessed!!!!! Chris' parents came to enjoy the afternoon and evening with us. We had a great time visiting and ate a wonderful meal that Chris' parents brought. Thank you!!!!

Opening our stocking

Trying out the new hip carrier that Chris got me..I love it!!!! Alison walks about 10% of the time and otherwise likes to be carried...by ME!!! I love it but my arms get tired :) So this hip carrier is made for kids up to 40 pounds...I think we'll be able to get LOTS of use out of it. Thanks honey :)


Trying out Santa's gift...her So Chic Hair Salon.....just think Gr. Fifi...you'll never have to pay for a hair do again, you now have Alison :)

Christmas Eve

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve. We went to 5pm Mass, ate at Chili's and then came home to prepare for Santa and bed.

Preparing Santa's milk, cookie, and M&M's

Notice Rudolph on her jammies

"and the stockings were layed by the tree with care in hopes of St. Nicholas"
