My sister!

My sister just found out last night that she is having a little Girl. Congrats Missy! Now Mom Dad will have a little boy and a little girl to spoil. I wish that y'all lived closer. It would make things a lot easier. Anyways, that picture is of us two Christmas' ago when I was 7 months pregnant with Caleb. My how the time goes by. We were at Radio City Music Hall getting ready to watch the Christmas Spectacular! That was fun. I can't wait to go home again this year. Every other year we try to go up there. This year we are going the week before Christmas and then we get to have our own Christmas here in San Antonio. Okay, well Congrats again to my big sister on her little girl. She is thinking of the name Hannah Joy. I think it is pretty. Joy is my middle name. I thought that was sweet.

Our pretty Christmas Tree all decorated!

Caleb hanging some of the ornaments. He did a good job trying to take them off too.

Playing under the tree with the singing penguins.

This is his favorite ornament. It was my favorite one too growing up. That is why my parents let me have that one off of their tree. It made me what to cry when he loved that one too!

He loves the tree.

Christmas is happening at the Allard's

So, here is a picture of my village that I put up last night. It is called "Christmas in the City". I love it. It has all the different stores in New York City. I can't wait to go visit up there for Christmas this year. I get to go home! Well, I did it. I called my mom yesterday to ask her if she thought I was crazy for wanting to put out the Christmas stuff and she said absolutely not! So, Caleb and I went to Target and bought some Christmas cds and a couple Christmas movies that I watched when I was a kid growing up and we put Christmas decorations all over the house. We danced like wild people to Christmas songs and giggled a bunch. I love making memories like that. I turned on my favorite cartoon and it was "Pluto's Christmas Tree". It had the chipmunks in the Christmas tree. Caleb giggled through the whole thing. Then I turned on "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer". He loved that one too. We didn't get to putting the ornaments on the tree so I was going to do that today or tonight after youth. Poor Bub was worn out by 10:30. He asked for his binky and then went and put his head on the bed. He was ready for nigh night. I can't wait for Christmas this year. It is going to be so much fun. We have almost decided on what Caleb's big thing is this year. We are thinking about buying him a set of drums. He loves drums and we think he just needs a set of his own to play on. I can't wait for him to open them up and see them. I almost started crying last night because it was just so neat to see him watching the cartoons that I use to watch as a child. It is so surreal sometimes to look at him and to think he is mine. And last night made me just choke up a bit because I know how much I enjoy Christmas and that he was having a blast with it too. He loved the songs and the jingle bells and then he loved the cartoons. I don't know, I guess I was just very emotional last night. Anyways, we are ready for Christmas to come!!!

Congratulations to the Munson's Family on your new little girls!!! We are all praying for you.

Family Fun

We had a fun family weekend. Mike, Danielle, Michael, Melissa, and Lexi came to visit with Josh, Caleb, and I. The girls dropped the guys (except Caleb) off at one part of the Guadelupe River and then picked them up the next day at another part of it. They decided this year instead of going hunting that they would go camping. They seemed to have had a good time and made some great memories together. Us girls stayed up late catching up on our shows. All three of us got down on the floor in the guest room and watched Grey's Anatamy and Private Practice. It was alot of fun. Michael and Melissa left earlier on Saturday to go back to Houston, but Danielle and Mike were going to stay until after church on Sunday. So, we took Caleb to see the Bee Movie. It was so good and he did sooooo good too. He loved watching it on the big screen. We went to the Imax theatre and got to see it on the really big screen. He was amazzzzzzzzzzzzed. Ha ha. Well, here are some pics from the weekend. The cousins got to play together. They had a blast.
