I have seen a few people post a picture of their child every month for the past year and thought I'd do the same. First I will do Lindsey and after you've had a few days to admire her beautiful face :-) then I'll do another post with Allison. Allison's changes are much more dramatic. I think going from a baby to a toddler in the past year makes that so.
I'm so disappointed that the Packers lost last night. Sadness in Packerland this morning. Hats off to the Giants though who deserved to win, and I hope they crush the Patriots in the Super Bowl. What a horrible game. They couldn't move the ball and they couldn't stop the Giants. Except for the 90 yard TD by Driver the whole game was miserable. But, life goes on. We didn't expect this season to go the way it did, we had a blast, it was a great ride. Too bad it didn't end better but what can you do.
I thought I'd post some pictures of the girls to cheer me up but for some reason I can't access the drive where all our pictures are. Next time.........
We interrupt this blog to bring you breaking news...... . . . . . . . . . . . . . THE PACKERS ARE IN THE NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME AND IT'S COMING TO LAMBEAU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The girls got their hair cut on Thursday, the third time for Allison. You can see here that it was quite needed:
But the "after" is oh so cute:
Lindsey's cut is less dramatic. She just got a bang and ends trim. Jay has been bugging me to cut her hair shorter. I agree she would look adorable with shoulder length hair. If she agrees to it, I will have it cut that way in the spring. Sounds like a good summer haircut dontcha think? The stylist braided Lindsey's hair so it's hard to tell what the cut looks like, but here she is:
Here's what her hair looked like after the braid came out:
And just a cute/silly pic of the girls in their jammies:
We just put our tree up last night. Since Allison is the QUEEN of getting into things, we just didn't want to deal with her taking ornaments off the tree all the time, for too long a period of time. We weren't totally sure if she'd want to take them off, but sure enough, ornaments have already been strewn all over the place by the little tornado. Guess the tree will be coming down the day after Christmas unless things get better, then we'll leave it up until New Year's Day. I've never been one to want the tree up for weeks and weeks anyway.
So here are a few of the ornaments:
See a theme here? :-)
I have about 10 more favorites but here are just a few more:
This one is my absolute favorite. I made it in kindergarten and I remember making it. The ornament is 38 years old! It's the first one I hang every year:
I'm a Christian stay-at-home mom, married to Jay for 35 years. We have 3 beautiful children - Ben, 33, Lindsey, 20, and Allison 17, and 2 Westies, Theo and Snowy. I love to read, knit and crochet, go for walks, and listen to podcasts.
