Me: Yeah you have a big belly

HAPPY NEW YEARS

(These are Christmas picts.)

What a CRAZY month...

It all starts with Travis doing our ward Christmas party...with one person to help that's on the activites committee. I tell you what that was ALOT of work. Travis pulled it off and we had a Awesome Christmas party. We were frightened there for awhile, we thought Santa was lost! We decided to tell the parents before announcing it to the children. Some of the parents said they saw Santa a half hour ago wandering the church halls....what?! Santa has been here for over a half hour and we've been stalling this whole time. Me and Travis took of running all over the church and we finally found him. You did a great job Trav!!

We headed over to my parents house for Christmas. It was fun to spend time with the fam. We missed you Jared and Natalie. I love this time of season, I look back and see how much I've been blessed in my life. And to reflect on the Savior and his life. I truly grateful for everything he did on this earth for me. We've been teaching Lincoln about Jesus and why we celebrate Christmas....these little kids learn so fast and so much. I didn't think he would understand but he proved me wrong.

Christmas morning - We planned to open presents at 8:00 AM, that's when the kids usually wake up. Lincoln slept in till 9. He was exhausted from the Family get togethers Christmas eve. But he sure was excited to see what Santa got him. Santa got Lincoln and Grant a train table. I think Grant was more excited than Lincoln. He just took of crawling to the trains. The boys had a great time. Actually I think Ben (my brother) and Travis enjoys the trains more than anybody else, I catch them here and there playing with it. My mom made the John Deere quilt for Lincolns room. Isn't she amazing???

After Christmas we went to Howe and spent time with Trav's family for a few days and headed to Boise to pack up and leave. We just got here the day before New Years Eve. SO that's the life of the Allens. Sorry it's so long.
