Allie's Blessing

Reed blessed Allie on Dec. 4th.  It was a sweet blessing for such a special little spirit.  I am always so grateful for the priesthood that Reed holds, it is a huge blessing in our lives.  We had a luncheon at our house after the blessing with our family.  Everyone brought such good food, and I didn't have any leftovers from the things I made.....that's how you can tell it's Fast Sunday;)  As always, I forgot to get pictures of all of us.  But I was able to get a few while Allie was still in her dress.

Everyday Pictures.....



Branson eating yogurt......he's always such a mess, and such a ham for the camera!



This is what Allie does for a good portion of the day....sits in her bouncer.  I always think she must be so bored, but she is such a good baby. I would LOVE to hold her more than I get to.

Macie pretending to be Cinderella.  She is ALWAYS pretending to be someone other than herself. 

Branson and Macie still LOVE their little baby sister.  Branson gives her dozens of kisses every day, and Macie likes to hold her.  Allie is starting to smile and coo and she loves when you talk to her.  She is such a sweet little girl and we all love her to death. 

Watching a movie with the tree all lit up.  Macie is loving Christmas time this year, and it makes it so fun to remember how magical it was when I was little. 

Halloween

I know it's really late for this, but I wanted to catch up on my posts before Christmas.  This year was lots of fun because the kids, especially Macie, were able to get excited about it.  They got to dress up three time:  once for a party that our friends threw, again for our ward party, and again for trick-or-treating on Halloween.  Macie was a princess (of course) this year, and Branson was an army man.  I slacked a little on the costumes this year and used stuff we already had at home....it was kid of a busy time with Allie being born on the 20th.  I aslo kept forgetting my camera, so these are the only ones I have of them all dressed up on Halloween.....
