Ali's First Visit with Santa!

We all wished we knew what was going through that little mind

when Ali saw Santa for the very first time!

On Dec 9th, Russ, Ali, Aunt Michele, Uncle Mike and I
went to Santa's Village in downtown Huntsville.
Man was it cold!!
We sat in Santa's sleigh, saw some reindeer,
decorated a gingerbread cookie,
wrote a letter to Santa,
stood in the snow of bubbles,
and saw Santa!
It was very pretty, and nicely put together
to cater to children!
I hope this will be a tradition we can stat with Ali.
Once she gets older she will have fun there.

1st Birthday

1st Birthday!!

Ali had a princess party.

We had a nice turn out for her 1st birthday.

She had such a good time!

She didn't know what to think of that cake.

Thanksgiving...

Ali got to spend 2 nights with her

Nanny and Paw Paw.

Paw Paw loves to play with his Grand Baby!

All smiles!

Ali always makes my day with that sweet smile.

October 2010

Just to catch you up on what's been going on with Ali...

October was a very busy month for us.

It was my last month home with Ali before I had to go back to work.

Here are a few Al's FIRST...

Our FCC group held our very first Truck or Treat!

I decorated the car and we all had a wonderful time!

Ali's Nanny and Aunt Stacy and

Cousin Calvin came with us to celebrate.

Ali and I are getting ready to pass out the good stuff!

Aunt Toni and Uncle Troy came

in from Michigan to see Ali for the first time.

Ali ran up to Troy like she knew him already.

It couldn't be that he looks like her Papa!

We went up Monte Sano to the park and took

some pictures with Troy, Toni, Michele and Mike.

We went to Tate Farms and played with

the animals in the petting area,

went through the hay maze,

and then went out to the pumpkin patch to pick put our pumpkins.

Our friend Andrew got to come and spend the day with us too.
