Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving Allie's grma and grpa Crider came to visit for a few days, from Iowa. They joined Neil, Allie, myself and lots of other family members at my mom and stepdads for Thanksgiving dinner...

-The pic above is Patty (friend of the family) and Allie. Allie is "very" carefully checkin' out the tree that changes colors at my moms. The tree amused her for a long time... all of a sudden Patty said, "She's backfiring on my leg!" LOL - That's my little stinker!;)

Allie havin a "Jumping n' Screaching" good time with cousins Briana and Rachel

The evening after Thanksgiving Neil, Allie, and I went to spend time with his parents at there Hotel... Daddy took her in the pool and the water was alot warmer than the last time Allie and I went swimming! Grma Mary had a good time with her in the pool too:)

"Out and About"

11/21 - Gma Brenda, Allie, and I went to Walgreens to get some pics developed... Allie absolutely loves being out and about ... Allison loved all the stuffed animals that Walgreens had hanging at the end of just about every isle - The pic above was taken before she noticed the camera - she was being so silly!

11/15/09 - Allie's first dip in the pool

My aunt Debbie, Grandma Pat, and cousins Brooke and Briana had a girls weekend in Appleton... My mom lives in Appleton, so we decided to join them for an evening at their hotel room. We all went swimming after visiting for an hour or so in their room...

Here is Allie in her very first swimsuit at 5 Months old - Look at those thighs!

We weren't sure how Allie was going to react to the water because it was a little chilly -

She never cried - she loved looking at how the light reflected off every little ripple in the water

Momma and Allie - I cant wait to take her swimming again - Preferable in a warmer pool
and with daddy along too:)

10/30/09 - Halloween

Allison was a little lamb for Halloween:) she loved the costume... especially when she was able to see her reflection in the mirror. lol She also loved visiting some cousins and grandparents, that live near-by.

The pic above is Allie with her cousin Carter (he is 9 months old) dressed as a spider... I would say that Carter was her favorite to visit with... she was just amused by how he could crawl around and give her piggy back rides! - with a little help from mommy:)
